Learn How to Get Killer Clean Guitar Tones with Vulfpeck's Cory Wong
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 28 сен 2024
- In this UA Tones & Techniques video, Vulfpeck guitarist Cory Wong shows you how he records his ultra-funky clean electric guitar tones using UAD plug-ins.
First, Wong details his favorite guitar compressor - the decidedly uncommon API 2500 Bus Compressor - and why he prefers it over other compressors. Then, using the SSL 4000 E Channel Strip plug-in, Wong and host, UA's Ben Lindell sculpt the EQ as Wong plays his signature 16th-note riffs.
Then, Wong shows how he uses some of his favorite UAD plug-ins, including Ocean Way Studios to add a touch of dimension and subliminal space, as well as the Ampeg SVT VR Bass Amp plug-in to add weight and thrust to single note lines.
Wong also details how he uses the Marshall Plexi Classic plug-in very subtly to add "real" amp tone to his DI signal, as well as the TS Overdrive to add texture to a clean sound. Finally, Wong shows you how the Oxide Tape Recorder plug-in at the end of the chain is the perfect cherry on top, adding a touch of warm color to a spanky clean guitar tone.

I actually learned a ton about recording guitars from this video.
👍
@@UniversalAudio this is a great walkthrough. Is there a similar one for bass guitar?
spinal tap: set the amp to 11
cory : set it to 0
0.3 actually 😅
Cory Wong seems like an incredibly smart dude who’d be fun to chill and jam with
👍
Minnesotan bruh
Absolute legend. A guitarist who listens with his ears, not his eyes. Plays what he likes the sound of, no matter what it is or where the settings have to be put. This is an absolute beaut of a video. Longing for iOS versions of these plugins someday🤞🏻
dudes right hand technique is something to behold
Pints of Guinness Rabbea’s not bad either...
Cory is so inspiring. I love his tone. Makes an affordable Strat priceless
"You're the king of clean guitar?"
Cory Wong: "Sure"
Well... He just is
@@gewuerzgurkeev He is THE clean guitar!
actually king of clean guitar is Kerry King...
atleast in HIS MIND he is..lmao..not that hes played more than 5 seconds of clean anything in 40 yrs,lol
@@KawiMusician I never cringed that hard before. Meme worthy comment bro!
Great video! Most guitarists would be amazed if they knew just how many guitar tracks they hear on the radio that were laid down straight into the board. There were several cats doing it years ago, but with how ridiculously far recording technology has come in the last 20 years, you’d be hard pressed to find a record in 2019 without at least a couple direct tracks. Hell, you can cut an entire demo these days with no amplifiers at all if you had to, and it would sound damn good if the producer/engineer knows what he’s doing. Thanks for the video and these settings 🤘🏼
I'd make it sound bad
LOL love how Ben can't quite keep it together listening to the playing. Those head pumps and face scrunches!! =)
I challenge anyone to stop their heads from bopping to Cory's beat :)
I love that whenever in a studio session, Cory always uses his instincts.
Great! Now is Joe Dart turn...
@Universal Audio please make this happen 🙌
It's Joe's fingers and Jacks mixing.
Yeah!!👍
@@0megalul309 couldnt agree anymore!
I'm halfway the video and this is a gem.
12:34 "For what I'm doing..." Jack Stratton bursts into the room to remind everyone it's so funky and l o w v o l u m e
That was the best UAD guitar video I've seen.
how to get killer clean tone : Get a strat
Right? I've heard strats plugged directly into a mixer board sound good lol
tele is even cleaner
My guitar ain't a strat but sounds like one, plugged directly to multi fx w/ cab simulation, damn it's clean af. Sounds like piano at times, maybe using a 10 or 11 would have a better sound.
@@stephenstrang590 Not for this style of music. Its very hard to get a telecaster to sound like 2nd or 4th position pick up selector of a strat
@@R0b1zzle137 but in contrast, a strat can't get that funk middle position sound of a tele. The only answer is to own both : p
cory's feel is so great....simultaneously the oldest and youngest person ever ha
This was so awesome - I dig tuning the tone by what works rather than what is typical.
Love the idea of using a bass amp and then clean up the low-end. And the Marshall dialed way back to almost 0. Good tips!
I know Corey Wong is an amazing guitarist. Some “artists” get by on good looks. This guy rises above his looks
But he is very good looking right ? Killer guitar player, super fun, super generous. I think he's cool
Damn why you gotta say that lol
Real silver face deluxe reverb sitting on the side thinking "am i a joke to you?"
noelzhu1986 😂
Have you checked out our OX Amp Top Box? It can do wonders with amps and pedals!! www.uaudio.com/hardware/ox.html
@j77 I'm going back and forth these days.
His right hand technique and tempo is incredible
Probably one of the most useful tips and tricks video UA has put out yet.
👍
That -3db on 20kHz at 06:21 sure made a lot of difference!
(jk guys, great video)
these plugins are spectacular. I bought a used silverface apollo twin. the basic plugin bundle has rescued my flat mixes and made them sound professional. a great value and investment no doubt. can't wait to demo some more
Great guitar player...I'm amazed at how so many great guitar sounds and riffs you can find in the disco-funk style...gino soccio...cerrone...donna summer...voyage..chic...earth wind and fire...brothers johnsons..kool and the gang...kc and sunshine band...jamiroquai...level 42...chaka khan...change...bbqandband...insane!!!
legend has it cory never stops moving
Neither does Joe Dart from head banging.
Saw Cory on halloween this year, him and his band JAM. Go see him live!
I can’t believe you got him to sit behind a desk that long… almost like having a Real Job... LOL
😂🤣
Some day I'm gonna get myself a real job
I have been waiting for this for so long
This is how I totally do it. Like exactly.
The only difference is, it isn't the same coz I suck lol.
😂
I love the Cory Wong Amp sim from Neural DSP. Goes perfect with my strat.
best clean sound video I've ever seen and now I don't even have to buy any new pedals.
*Watching this in 2022 and loving it! 🎸🎵🎶🍷🥳 Definitely some great guitar tones! Enjoying it!*
Please do more vids like this
King of clean guitars? Man, I´m lost for words... gotta love the interwebs.
omg this marshall is so funky and yet it's so low volume ...
I have never heard of Cory - but I am old so that is on me. He seems like a smart guy who knows his stuff. I will have to check out the band. I hope they do more than groove on a root chord!
UAD, how about a CW bundle for those plug ins
Well done guys!
Marshall cleans are so underrated!
Hendrix, Wayne Krantz
I loooooove this video. Corys guitar tone is seriously out of this workd
Amazing technique. Funktastic
Cory talks about blend in unaltered clean tones with compressed clean. Unfortunately most popular compression pedals do not do this. A good work around for cheap setups is an aby switch into a multi channel amp. One without compression & one with!
Excellent video and what a tight player glad I ran across this
09:42 had to transcribe this lick
Armin Polsinger that’s “Swampers” off the newest fearless flyers album
@@robchrisaustinsteve thx dude!
Boon Gould would approve
42 👍😎
A good compressor and brand new strings
This was great. Thank u all
🥂
Get Joe Dart in here too!
YES! Let's hear how he gets his bass sound.
@@alexbreyer6921 Bass 10 / Middle 5 /Treble 0 and all that with flatwound strings
Awesome video thank you guys !!!
👍
Nile rodgers....the master!
Great video, congrats👏👏👏
👍
Very, very cool.
Great info - thanks for sharing.
👍
brilliant tips!
👍
What a cold start of an interview 😂
Excellent video.
That was awesome, thank you Cory Wong/Vulfpeck for getting me back into music again! Can UA provide some session files (uadmix files) from this video for download? I only ask because finding the right plugins from the list, adjusting all these knobs/windows with my mouse, and fighting the onslaught of DSP limit exceeded/plug-in not authorized/trial period over pop-ups alerts all while trying to awkwardly hold/play my guitar is currently the bane of my existence :)
Hi Tyler, unfortunately those settings were not saved during the chaos of our 6 hr (!!!) live stream event.
That was cool. As soon as he said Plexi, I thought WHAAAAAAT? Then he put the volume to point one. Ahh hahaha.
Cool video! Thanks!
During the intro that loud clean tone is all in his fingers.
Cory is the coolest
Not dropping the vulf compressor recommendation 😢 comon Corey
I don't think he uses the Vulf Compressor on his solo albums though
This is 100% about a good compressor. And Cory didn't invent this. This has been the mainstay for rhythm players in the studio for decades.
Love how he keeps playing the exact same rif the entire video. What a unique guitarist !
Cory's settings available anywhere? It'd be nice to have them as presets. Thx.
Great sounds from the gear, but the choices in vibrato make all the difference.
Great video 👍
Cory is a beast!!
I love how Ben says hi
hai
Forgot to mention 4th position
Amazing bravo 👏
Bias amp 2 is great !
Cool vid!
I wish Ben Lindell would do a really thorough console tutorial, using example setups and walking though how all the signals flow. For example in this vid you put the Ocean Way on aux 1, but aux 1 doesn't track to the DAW so what was that about? Sure we could hear as part of the monitor mix but I assume Cory Wong tracks Ocean Way when he uses it.
I assume this is because you only get mono on individual channels. But you can record Auxes alongside with input channels, or you can balance with the dry/wet knob on the aux itself and track just aux1.
Hi David, those vids exist already. See here, and scroll down a bit for the Console vids. help.uaudio.com/hc/en-us/articles/209243006-Getting-Started-with-Apollo-Twin-Videos
@@UniversalAudio I've watched all those vids. They're good but I think one showing some typical setup examples would be helpful, setups ranging from simple to complex. How to track an aux channel, ideas for using virtual channels, etc.
Understood! Thanks for the feedback. Have you been to our forums? (www.uadforums.com) We have an amazing group of users that share all sorts of tips and tricks. Check it out, and we'll pass your feedback on.
Is this dude in Vulfpeck or not? He’s always referred to as their guitarist in gear advertisements and whatever, but not really listed as a member or appearing live with them much
He’s not one of the original 4, but he’s very much a part of the band and the overall sound and does almost all of their live shows with them now.
After their first full album. And the leader of his own band.
Love the video
👍
Absolutely Great Sound ! :) I've just bought Api 2500 and Ampeg of course :) Is this Cory Setting on Ampeg (10:43) was created on any presets from oryginal Uad list ? Modyfied on any preset (Kind of cab, mic etc) ? Or just made on default ?
Made in the moment.
Awesome vid
Wow!! We got Father Funk's seal of approval!! 😀
0:11 "ha"
Ok so rockin' it's not about turning it up to 11. It's 0.11. Duly Noted.
I guess it doesn't matter how he gets his tone, but using a plexi that way is just weird. There are a lot of amps and plugins out there can get him there much easier. His playing style is getting him 90% there anyway
Best of the best
Legend
Gonna be honest, I didn't really hear any difference when they first AB'd the API compressor between on and off.
RUclips audio
Probably because the video itself is being compressed
The difference is subtle and I didn't notice it in the example either, I understand it adds more output on the quieter parts while retaining the dynamics so it's more useful in the context of a mix where you don't want to loose the guitar behind other instruments and you don't want it to sound flat either.
A lot of times what you are looking for is ‘feel’ and how it plays more so than small tone shift.
great video, whats the multitrack soft that are you using here?
That was great! How about doing one with an authentic jazz guitarist 😎
Good idea!!
Get Julian Lage!
@5:22 Did Cory just switch out of fourth position?
Yep, went to fifth then back to fourth
Unacceptable
the king is Rodgers , he played straight to the board or straight to a bassman
Excelente
Coryyyyyyyy
Its not ''just a guitar'' Mr. Soundman! Its a Strat (the most legendary, best clean sounding string instrument in the electric world) oh yeah ''you just plug a guitar'' rrrrrrright
''Best clean sounding string instrument in the electric world'' LOL! ..all plastic, thin pickups, bolt on neck… Um ok...give me a Gibson any day …and U keep the plastic's and bolts n be happy
Why the fuzz? I also own a Gibson and a PRS and you know which one I go grab 1st always? Yup! the Strat. and about the materials, I don't care even if they make them from paper if they keep making them sound like Hendrix and SRV did.
@@greentops5766 I love Hendrix and SRV on a Monday but Tuesday I love the country Wednesday 50's Do-wop and classic rock playing an Instrument should be able to do it all and keep up with the moods of the player, as far as build quality, to me that is why Hendrix SRV got their sound,to the hand-crafted JBL Speakers of the day, point to point wiriring amp's etc... I've played through copy Strats because all the rich A-holes own the good ones as investments now,and Never found one that I bonded too…PRS is an overpriced Ibenez to me, 80's big hair days, deff not worth the price I can get a Custom Gibson for - they are not all that, take one to a pawn shop and see, everyone knows gibson, so investment reasons also - I passed one up or 300 at a pawn shop and bought a Peavey T-60 instead, bolt on neck, but was great and sounded way better... but it's your $ and toys ...and if you can play and sound good along with me and my gibby = Music ...Skynyrd used a strat player and a gibson...2 types of players …so No fuzz....just Build quality vs plastic n bolts effects me I guess as i work and mod my guitars n amps, but its all good, if u got the One that bonds with you shes a keeper ..plastic n bolts or costs 2k ...I personally use a SG 200 that was modified and broke truss rod no electronics and put her back together, shes a rescue :) and bonded with me, my fav gibby, sounds like a cross betwen a strat and a gibby, made in the norlin yrs, front loaded face plate, mini gibby pickups
Cool, Jim Gaffigan's brother does audio
It sounds like he's playing into a cabinet head, what is it?
"What's your guitar style?"
Seinfeld
Hahaha hell yeah
Damn bruh hahahaah
Let me summarise this.......'It is in the hands'.
Ledge
Can I get this sound from a Compressor and a 10 band eq
I'd love to have done this interview.
Me: OK I'm gonna go ahead and open GarageBand...
Cory: OK add some compression.
Me: I'm gonna go ahead and choose 'Old School Punk'.
Cory: That doesn't really suit my playing style...
Me: Fine, let's try Stadium Fuzz... *feedback reeeeeeeeee*
Cory: Shall we just go unplugged for a bit?
Me: *rreeeeeeeeeee* PARDON ME? *eeeeeeeeeeeeeee*
I Love Spanky-Clean Guitar - too. Especially with a Strat and a Fender Amp. What Pickups is Cory using?
I believe this is his Highway 1 Strat with Seymour Duncan Antiquities.
What is the software he is using ?
Me, an acoustic guitar player, not understanding a word but watching the entire video:
"This i really interesting!"
😀
