    What's amazing about Sanjay is that every time I'm like "wait stop! Back it up I'm confused" during the video, he recommends a video that he's made that will help with my problem. His videos are so professional and we'll thought out. Any time I'm looking for a video on a musical topic, I always watch his videos first :)

    I highly recommend the G&L Tribute S-500. Costs 600. Its a Stratocaster style guitar. The pickups sound fantastic and build quality is really good. For anyone who doesnt know G&L was Leo Fender's last company where he made a bunch of amazing inventions to expand on his vision for the electric guitar. Fender quality and designed by the same person but with a much more affordable price than a fender.

    Hi Sanjay, Thank you for this video. I watched many of your videos, all of them were great and very informative. Just one question - is there any advantage in recording guitar directly via interface and using VST plugins rather than recording via guitar units like Zoom G3x? Currently I am recording to Ableton 9 lite via Zoom G3x and adding additional reverb in Ableton. Thanks Edgar

    Sanjay, awesome video as always! I tend to take a different view as musician who started with Bass guitar as my primary instrument and then branched out. For what I use I have the following: Line 6 Helix Rack & Line 6 POD X3 Pro for guitar and bass, Guitars (Variax Guitars & a Gibson), Basses (Variax Bass (old), Fretless, & 2 active basses). I've found that I very much prefer the Helix and POD X3 Pro because they are very configurable and can also function as very high quality 192KHz quality sound cards (a bit over kill when you're playing Doom Eternal but the eargasm sound quality is otherworldly). And as someone else mentioned in the comments, like NI's Guitar Rig 5, you can run microphones through the Line 6 racks and have all those delicious effects to use on them and STILL use Guitar Rig 5 stuff on that signal too! Option overload in the effects, but hey, options are the spice of life! Anyway, thanks for this, and I think you would be remiss if you didn't do something for us Bass Players out here too!

    Hi Sanjay, Great Video. Got some useful tips. Thanks. I generally use a signal chain like this: Guitars (electric or acoustic) plugged into an Apogee Element 46 or 88 Audio Interface then into Logic Pro X and Helix Native guitar effects software. I have Helix hardware too like the Rack and Floor but prefer to use Helix Native while recording since its easier to experiment with different patches and sounds. I'll check out the Spark Amp, it seems to be useful.

    ​@@SanjayC The Helix is a great unit in my view from a guitarist's perspective. Not having used tube amps and other amps that it simulates, I'm quite satisfied with the Helix sound and can get a very good sound out of it. But it needs a lot of tweaking if you are making a patch from scratch. It is however very user friendly and workflow is quite fast. If you don't want to tweak, you can buy professionally made patches, which save a lot of time. Then you just need to modify them slightly to tailor them to your liking and your guitar pickups. Not being a professional musician (I'm a lawyer in my day/night job:))), those purchased patches have definitely saved me a lot of time and effort. The other advantage is that the software (Helix Native) and the Hardware units like the Helix Floor, Rack and LT can all have the same patches (transferred using USB) so what you record using one unit or the software can easily be reproduced in the other hardware units/ software live. That's a big advantage for me even though i don't play live since I get the same patches across all my Helix units and Helix software. The HX Stomp is different because of the limitations of the number of 6 blocks, so more complex patches of Helix Native, Floor and Rack would not work there unless there are only 6 blocks. I'm not sure how the Helix would work for synths, haven't explored that as of now. Its an interesting idea. You can first try Helix Native for the free 14 day trial and see if it suits your purposes. There's a video of our band's song here and I've used Helix Native sounds for the guitar parts: kzread.info/dash/bejne/m5mcqJt8j7axXbQ.html

  • @easyjamtracks

    @easyjamtracks

    4 жыл бұрын

    Hi, not the OP but - I own the Apollo Twin and I also have outboard gear, and you can only use outboard gear in two ways basically. A-use them while recording into the DAW B-record DI First, then use one of the outputs on the Apollo to send the signal to the input of the outboard gear, then bring the outboard gears output into the IN of the apollo and record onto another track in the DAW. So the DI track goes out of "output 3" on the apollo, goes into the HW comp, the output then goes into "input 1" on the apollo and gets recorded. Plus you'll need to make sure its still in time/phase etc on the DAW track (there might be some delay from the trip out and into the apollo - small, but will matter - some DAWs have plugins that let you calculate the round trip latency and applies that much delay automatically) IMHO the Apollo twin having only 4 outputs is not that practical for outboard processing as you'll need to keep plugging cables in and out all the time. Plus the UAD plugins are nearly identical to any outboard gear you might want to use so I have only used the outboard preamp-eq and compressor combo to treat the signal before it arrives to the apollo.

And also do I need a computer graphics card? Because i have a stock cyber power pc...that's amd 6 core, with 8gb ram... would this be sufficient enough (I don't have a sound card niether, is this ok? I know some things use the sound card Aux but some usb too....I know intel processors are better thats why I'm asking....thanks for any help It's been over 15 years and I have all analog tascam 4 tracks, etc... but I sold all my guitars and amps and buying a guitar sunday... I been craving to play again.... ==== Edit:... I checked out some of your other vids... and I learned alot.... so from what I see also my spark amp does come with a DAWs recording studio (which I'm not sure how good it is)...but what I really wanna do is also be able to sing as well.... so I'm assuming I should get the scarlett audio interface, I really like the price for what it does and comes with software too...I would go for the 2 mic/instrument one because it's only $159 as well...but my question next is how could.i plug the spark amp into the scarlett? (Because I wanna do live mic and guitar at sametime bit I wanna run all my effects from spark amp? Is this possible?... I'm also going to be buying those nice 4.5 speakers u mentioned and my desktop pc as I stated above should be more then efficient...I'm also buying that usb hub when its available ....

Most 2x2 USB interfaces from Focusrite, Presonus etc have them built in, and their converters are very very clean and have enough preamp power to get your signal into the computer.

Essentially I would like to know if the bass amp is connected before the interface/computer, or after the interface/computer? Does the sequence of devices go GUITAR>AMP>INTERFACE>COMPUTER, or GUITAR>INTERFACE>COMPUTER>AMP? Sorry...techno-luddite here. I've been playing a bass guitar thru a beat buddy to terminate at an amp. Just wondering if the signal terminates at the computer using an interface (first example) or if it's routed thru the interface/computer first before terminating at the amp (second example). Thanks!
