Thanks, Alex! The algorithm has been good to me over the last month. I'm transitioning into doing this full time, so I hope the momentum continues. I've got a lot more coming!
the problem with the farm pod is it is very old and does feel and sound it also! I have found many other amp sims that just sound better, especially considering the price of the farm pod! Neural DSP sims are just glorious. If you haven't already, try the Morgan suite.
Thank you! The last tone is my favorite. I have lots of free pedal, amp and cabinet simulations. My favorite virtual amps are most of the Lepou models and my fav. cab sim is the Psycho pack. They are free and sound awesome, check them out dude.
This is fascinating! I don't play the guitar, but I record guitar parts on my digital piano/synthesizer. I love the Distorted and Metal Tones especially. This is starting to open my eyes into how I could improve my guitar sounds... I'll definitely be checking out your link! 🎸
Fantastic intro congratulations I am subscribing Second video I've seen of yours that piqued my interest the first had to do with a girl without much singing experience trying out using Auto-Tune that was pretty good too I have auto-tune feature on my Head Rush core modeling FX pedal
Not always- usually I start with a song idea. So that'll be either chords (guitar or piano) and a vocal melody. If I have something I like, I'll either fully write the song before recording, or I'll start recording the music and write the song in the studio. When I start recording I usually start with drums so I can use it as a click track (it's way easier to play to a drum beat than a click). From there I'll record guitar and then bass, and I always do vocals near the end. It all really depends on the song and what instruments are most important. For example, if the bass line is super prominent and driving, I might record that before the guitars.
Brilliant, I will see how to integrate it with Garageband, as it does look good value. Thanks for your time and videos! So accessible and a goldmine for a newbie to recording like me!
I disagree on layering multiple guitar tones: I think it's better to have a good tone double tracked than having two often completely different tones hard L and right. Also most of the tones you showed have a bit too much higher midrange and too little lower midrange: especially the metal ones need way more beefiness in the 200/300 area! Let me know what you think - I'm definitely open to discussion about it!
It's a good starting point. Of course there are a million other ways to set up the sound. There's a lot of aspects that you have to take into account. Different kinds of strings, different string thicknesses, each pickup has a different sound, active or passive electronics, different kinds of tunings, etc. Also a lot of rock 'n' roll bands have two guitarists. It's better if each guitarist has a distinctive sound. I don't like today's double-tracking standard. All of today's bands sound exactly the same. Same guitar sound, same drum sound from the universal sound database, autotuning everywhere. Today's production is terrible from my point of view. Sterile.
@@PajaRocky double tracking is a must, and it's been since probably the 70's. And most of the rock bands with two guitarists don't have both of them playing the riff - think of Metallica or Megadeath. Whereas if you're talking about lack of sound variety, well... you should be listening to more stuff than the cookie cutter pop songs.
@@alessandrosummer Speaking of Metallica, I love the sound of Load and Reload. The first time Kirk ever played rhythm guitar. On his own guitar and his own amp. Each guitar track has a completely different sound and I prefer this approach more. Same with GNR, two guitarists and two completely different guitar sounds. Midnight Oil the same. Yes, when there is one guitarist in the band I fully understand double tracking or multiple tracking (Brian May).
@ it’s the only time Metallica did it: in all their other records it was just James Hatfield playing the rhythm guitar. Same for Megadeath, Linkin Park, MCR and I could go on even further. And there’s a reason why it’s done: for tightness. Two guitarists will definitely play the riff differently, often so differently that it’ll sound sloppy
For years I would do my double tracks with the same amp, and had no problems with it. Eventually it started sounding boring to me, so I started switching the amps up and I personally think it sounds better when the amps are different. It make it sound fuller and thicker. Like I said in the video, each amp setup has different characteristics and by bringing them together you can get the best of both worlds. As with anything, it all depends on the song and the situation. 9 times out of 10 I'll use different amps (and even different guitars), but occasionally I'll keep it all the same. Just depends.

This intro has to be the best hook to a video I have seen in a long time. Sold from the start
Thank you! I take great pride in my intros.
Man, this video was soooo helpful! I used your EQ setting recomendations for my band rehearsals and my guitar tone got life in the mix.
So glad it helped!
Dude, you're just amazing! The time you put in your awesome videos are of the charts!
Glad you like them!
first 3 seconds, instant like. you are being criminally neglected by the algorithm. Awesome work, as usual, keep it up.
Thanks, Alex! The algorithm has been good to me over the last month. I'm transitioning into doing this full time, so I hope the momentum continues. I've got a lot more coming!
a video on neural amp modeler would be awesome and super helpful. It’s free and open source
I'll have to check it out, thanks for the tip!
Dude this is epic!
Thanks!
Shout out from Brazil, dude.
Your videos are fire!
Thanks for watching, man! Much love from the US!
Wow you know everything about music.
The video intro deserves 1M likes! Love from Brazil
I appreciate that! Let's hope the algorithm blesses me.

I'm gonna check it out!

The algorithm’s working harder than I do on a Monday morning! Let’s hope it finds him before the coffee kicks in!
ALGORITHM PLEASE FIND ME!!! I PLEAD TO YOU!
The support means so much, thanks for watching!!!
Beautiful
Thank you! Cheers!
Best channel on yt
I appreciate that so much! I've got a lot more cool stuff in the works.

You're the man! I'm excited you're digging my stuff.
Drop D for life
Do you always start with bass and drums? I'm definitely going to check that course

You’re some kinda genius man
I wouldn't go that far, but I appreciate the kind words! I'm just a passionate musician and I love sharing what I know so others can be creative too.
Assume that I need to buy Pod Farm? Does that work with Garageband?
Yes, PodFarm is something you need to purchase (but it's well worth it), and it is compatible with GarageBand as an Audio Unit.
Brilliant, I will see how to integrate it with Garageband, as it does look good value. Thanks for your time and videos! So accessible and a goldmine for a newbie to recording like me!
Спенсор, я тебя люблю
🤘🏻 🤘🏻 🤘🏻
MY DUDE!
These do be slapping harder than that time bro got slapped by Bonnie.
I appreciate that!
@@songsbyspencer sure thing Adam.
What do you do to your voice? Sounds so flat, no overtones, almost like Auto Tune. And, why do you do it?
I unsunscribed just to subscribe again!
Much appreciated!
Tried to be first but won’t let me comment
You're the first in my heart
You’ll live.
@@songsbyspencer that’s means a lot coming from you I hope I’m never forgotten. Btw, your channel has helped me with my music quite a bit

Ampfarm is too outdated software from the Line6 kitchen. It is almost 20 years old. Better try Line6 Helix Native plugin.
I'll have to check it out!
If it still works and isn’t expensive, I don’t see the problem with using something older. Older doesn’t always mean bad. If it works, it works.
Hey man, Your work is awesome! Love your stuff and devotion
Awesome, thank you!
