    one small note, from someone who has been using NDSP for a while: when you click the little button on the bottom to the left of the cabs, you 'unchain' them and you can basically use all three of those cabs with whatever amp you choose~

    I run my pedalboard into my pc, typically running a twin rev in amplitube.
    A piece of advice id have to give is to help with fizz. Youll realise that with drive there can be a lot of fizz in your sound, making your sound really muddy.
    A lot of this fizz (particularly in anplitube, i havent tried too many sims) is in the lows and highs, so by adding a low pass and high pass filter you can notice an immediate improvement in tone and clarity.
    You can also isolate particularly annoying frequencies and notch these out, but i havent really tried that much

    Great vid! It's so nice to watch it slowly and hear each step explained. How do you run it into the DAW, though? Do you adjust gain, duplicate tracks, pan, etc? And do you EQ in post once you've recorded your tracks? I'd love to see your entire process broken down!

    • @LetsTalkAboutMathRock
      @LetsTalkAboutMathRock  9 месяцев назад +1

      Hello! I didn't run it through a DAW in this video. I was using the standalone plugin and running that into OBS so what you heard was the direct output of the plugin. If I was to run this into a DAW then I'd go through all the usual process as I would recording any guitar:
      1st get a sound I like
      2nd record it
      3rd edit it in post to fix the mix of the track

    What I noticed is that no matter how good an Amp Sim sounds, the problem is me having to sit in front of a screen which is really killing my creativity and 1,000 things distracting me. My best ideas came when walking around my flat with my tele on a strap without any amplification at all (with my semi-hollow it sounded somewhat okay). And I tried many amp sim plugins and even costly solutions like Strymon Iridium. Still they all didnt really have convincing crunch tones. And to even get a tone I was somewhat pleased I had to try so many IRs and settings that I just lost fun playing my guitar at home.
    What I will try in the future will be mini amps for home use. I hope theyll sound good but Im sooo looking forward to forgetting about booting up my laptop, connecting my interface, all these cables and buttons. Just plug and play is the way for me I guess.

      Pretty well any interface has gotten good enough to play into these days. I use a focusrite Scarlett but know people who run Motu, Behringer, and arturia that all get good results as well. It's mostly just about the amount of inputs and outputs you personally need, having it set up correctly, and having a computer that has specs good enough to run the amp sim.

    • @ErebosGR
      @ErebosGR 9 месяцев назад +1

      The Focusrite Scarlett models are outspecced and outperformed by newer similarly-priced models, like the Arturia MiniFuse 1, the Native Intruments Komplete Audio 1, and Audient iD4 MKII.

  • @ErebosGR
    @ErebosGR 9 месяцев назад

    2:35 That's not what the Input control is for.
    Your line level should be controlled through the Gain control on your audio interface.
    The Input control on the amp sim is to simulate your pickup output and therefore how hot is the guitar signal hitting the preamp. Otherwise, the amp sim doesn't know whether you're playing low or high-output pickups. In your case, you should back it off a little. That's why your guitar sounded "gainy" and "boxy" from the start.

    • @LetsTalkAboutMathRock
      @LetsTalkAboutMathRock  9 месяцев назад

      I took that as most people would know to set the level going into the plugin to be not too hot by checking the input signal on the audio interface, but yeah, probably should of included that little explainer 👍

    There are plenty of free amp sims that sound just as good as any outrageously-priced Neural DSP Archetype.
