this is very helpful. By the way, what sort of pickup and string gauge is used in that tracking? I am trying to approximate that tone and I cant get it to sound right at the DI.

thats a crazy thing you said

Excellent explanation. Very clear, articulate, and applicable. Thank you. I liked and subscribed.

Great video as usual! Loving the Reaper content! Been a Reaper user for years and i'm seing more and more love for it recently!

Awesome! Thanks for doing the legwork to get us a good starting point. This is also ADHD friendly. So many of these video's are so slow and take an hour to tell 12 minutes worth of information. Nice job!

Great tutorial thanks you! I use reaper but struggle to really understand How to mix, what plugins to use etc. This Was a great start!

I know this video is about guitars but man I love how the bass sounds at the end!

The tutorial I've been looking for a long time. Thanks!

This help a lot with palm mutes and bass guitar in my punk rock mixes, i was getting crazy because when i play my mixes in my car the palm mutes parts do a very boomy sound and ruining the track listening. I just want to thank you!.

Very nice gonna check out the rest of your channel at some point these tips were pretty sweet.

Simple but effective, and excellently described! Thanks a lot for sharing this

This was really enlightening ...thanks for sharing !

I love how you don’t Emphasize using expensive equipment or daw to get quality sound. Then you will show example.

Multiband compressor is a gem! That reminded me how Warren Huart and Glenn Fricker used compressor as a gate. And it made me think: could ReaXcomp (or any other multiband comp) be used as a multiband gate? That might be interesting to test when mixing drums...

Yeah yesterday i have seen heavy guitar mixing in reaper from a other channel. now you made it too, nice!

Reaper is great and has way more features,it just takes years to learn it all,which isn't a bad tradeoff,it forces you to know why things work instead of click this button and that happens

By the way, you probably already know this, but Reaper's stock compressor (ReaComp) also allows you to adjust a high and low pass for the compressor to take action, meaning that it will only compress the areas where the high and low pass are settled to act, and in casses like these where it's only one area of frequencies that are needing the compression, it can work as well as the ReaXComp.

Excellent tutorial brother ... new sub in here :)

Reaxcomp is great ! The routing is so easy, I love Reaper ! The mix sounds amazing !

This was so informative and helpful. I’m currently struggling with track that deals with the palm muting problem as we speak. I do have a question concerning the actual recording of the guitars. Are you using mics or going direct when your recording the guitars?

Very useful video!! I like the fact that you justify everything you do. You made guitar mixing easy and understandable to anyone, thank you! (Oh, and I can't agree more on the fact that Reaper is awesome: I love it!)

I just recorded a Cannibal Corpse song for fun on Reaper. I used your techniques in your video. Cleaned it up nicely. Your weren’t kidding about the EQ. Thank you.

So cool!! 👏👏👏👏👏

thank you!

U have a fantastic channel..i need some advice pls..for example when im tracking gtars for a standard rock song..how many times is enough for 1 part..e.g. chorus..verse etc

Man thank you so much, I am very new to Reaper and Audio recording, but was able to follow you overall concept about EQ/Compression. I am recording a stratocaster through a Marshall, using a SM-57 and a Royer 101. I am using a Clarett 4 pre and with Royer D-Boost for both Mics. Marshall's have a ton of mid range. And my Strat single coils are a pain in the but to eq. But anyway I was able to make it sound a lot better due to this Video. Just wondering to teach on the side hourly session? let me know.

hi. You never mentioned the "only reaper" AMP you use for this track , can you tell what amp is used on the track ?? and Thanks for a great video.

Thanks for the template. How do you remove the di sound and leave the guitar amp fx sound only please?

Ngl I was a bit lost with mixing and I felt kinda bad, being in the scene for so long and not knowing how to mix properly. Thank you so much! Never too late to learn more i guess!

I'm splitting hairs here, but actually, if you're only gonna use one band in the multiband compressor to control those palm mutes (100Hz to 250 Hz, as you specified), in Reaper, perhaps you need not even bother with the multiband compressor. The ordinary stock broadband compressor in Reaper has controls for input frequency detection (High and low pass, on sliders) that would probably allow you to do the same thing without affecting the other parts of the guitar tone. But like I said - splitting hairs.

there's a plugin called "ReEQ" (not to be confused with the stock plugin) that uses JSFX, it's quite the CPU hog but it's basically the poor man's FabFilter Pro Q.

I've been a follower of the channel for quite a while now and I enjoy your content a lot. However, I've got a question... Maybe you can respond in a video, I don't know. Why do you use Reaper even when you have Pro Tools? What does Reaper offer you to use it every now and then?

@FrightboxRecording

2 жыл бұрын

Pro Tools is my main DAW. I use Reaper when I'm recording bands live at venues because it's much more stable than Pro Tools. Also, it's convenient to not be lugging an iLok key around at shows. I do use it for some projects because a large majority of my students are Reaper users.

I can't even get my tones to sound like yours before you even mix them. I'm using a helix and recording with an ibanez iron label rgaix6fm. I've even went as far as replicating other people's tones that sounded good and mine still doesn't sound even close.

Reaper #1

Cool.. So would that work for both lead and rhythm guitars? Haha

Good but kinda dark. I would have push a high shelf with ssl around 8Khz. It would widen the guitars

How do you get a distortion efx man?..

May I ask what amp sim or amp/mic combo were used for these guitars? Very informative video, thank you. I'm struggling to get decent recordings with amp sims, they're sounding so bad that I'm questioning the functionality of my interface or inner parts in my guitar. It sounds shrill during open chords but flabby on palm mutes.

Hey man! I used the most budget of gear to produce this recording. A super cheap 2-channel interface, EZ drummer and a cheap amp sim. The trick is I used my own custom made impulse responses. I explain how I did it in this video: kzread.info/dash/bejne/oKx1pNWaisvYmtY.html also, there's a link in that video so you can download the IR's for free. I highly doubt there's anything wrong with your gear. It usually comes down to a simple workflow issue. Hope that helps!

Hi Bobby. I just recorgnized that when I want to record the guitar with 2 Tracks, 1 with the amp sound miced up, 1 with the DI Box. That I still hear the Di Box while recording. I just want to hear the Guitar amp while recording. Is there any solution that I can turn off the DI Box channel in direct monitoring while record the guitar.

Newbie here. I am using bias amp with different amps each side. When it comes to filtering out the nasty frequencies do I add an EQ on each track and filter there?

@FrightboxRecording

3 жыл бұрын

In all honesty, I try to use an IR that doesn't have any nasty frequencies in the first place. This makes mixing a lot easier and I can also EQ both guitars at the same time on a buss. That being said, if you do have some problem frequencies, EQ each guitar independently.

I did exactly what you did up to 4:47 but for some reason it comes out center panned. Both tracks are hard panned, parent track (submix) is panned center. Any idea why this is happening?

I'm using a Scarlett 2i2 , Kali monitors and I'm using the Jason Richardson plugin. Everything just sounds like mud and it cuts in and out when I play. I don't know what the hell is going on.

what reaper theme is this?

Hi two question 1 when you are doing the left and right channnels are you recording the seperately or coying and panning hard left and hard right? also i know it wasnt dont in the video but if i was doing a song that has a clean sound in certain spots what would be the best way to tackle that?

@elpeluca7780

I play it once, copy it and pan it left and right and it works well enough for me. I'd say cut the parts you want to make clean, copy them on additional tracks, and create a clean tone on the new tracks. No idea how to create a clean tone though.
