![]() also i can use the demo of revalver comfortably for practice because it doesn’t expire and the only limitation is saving presets and a fairly innocuous hiss noise once very few minutes, which would only really be an issue for recording (which i’m not currently doing). i prefer it to GTR 3.0, guitar rig, amplitube etc., but really this is just personal preference i guess. you don’t need an additional preamp, noise-gates, compression or anything because it is all done in software. it works great with the 1/4 inch jack of my guitar plugged directly into my UA-101 soundcard. I have tried quite a lot of these different guitar programmes, i’m using the peavy revalver one for practising on headphones when its too late to be cranking an amp and that sort of stuff. ![]() P.s Forgot to mention, with the podxt, you can monitor with a distorted sound but record a DI signal, which is often much more useful as it means you can re-amp later. My line6 podxt is the best musical purchase i’ve ever made hands down, (renoise is probably 3rd behind my guitar but that’s only cause i’m a guitarist at heart) You should be able to pick up a podxt for like £100-150 now second hand cause there are newer models out there, and they do the job just fine, you can record digitally via USB and use them as an ASIO device as well. <- recording using renoise, line6podxt, and ezdrummer - thats just a rough demo track for my band so no effort has gone in on the production, if you skip toward the end of the track you’ll here it used for clean stuff as well. usb -> jack lead, but you’ll obviously only get DI signal off of that, it’s possible to use most cheap guitar multi-effects pedals (like those made by zoom) between your guitar and your audio interface to get mediocre sounds, but if you want a decent solution, line6 are the brand to go with- although recording if your recording a DI signal in you could test it out with renoise’s b2.5’s amp modeller ! Now acoustic guitars are a whole different thing…Ī cheap solution for getting your guitar connected up to renoise is one of these: It should be pretty obvious that using good microphones with proper techniques and preamps together with a guitar cabinet to reach a sound that is even close to using either guitar amp vst or line6 pod or anything similar is very tough - both skill and money wise. ![]() Line6 PODs are also very handy when you’re not after any authentic sounds. > check the “Record dry (monitor fx)” button if you want to record the dry signal but monitor using all the effects the guitar track has (and what you are actually hearing when you play the guitar at this point). > change “No FX” into whatever is your track with the vsts + It really boosts my creativity, mostly sound wise.Īfter loading whichever vsts I want to use to a specific track I never had the need for any particular authentic cabinet and amplifier sound, so Guitar Rig suits my need perfectly. I’m about to upgrade my current version of Guitar Rig to this. In renoise I dedicate a track for the guitars and load up plenty of vsts. It’s still very awkward to play with long guitar tracks and editing double takes, but it’s alright. I’ve made a handful of rock tunes with Renoise. Do a few test recording to make sure your tone is right, and do all the tone altering with the guitar/amp/mic setup, not VSTs. Try to have as high bit rate and sample rate as possible in recording. Connect the pre-amp output to your soundcard and place no in-line VST fx on the sound (wet/send ones are ok like echo and verb). The mic is running into a certain pre-amp or channel strip which will also give a certain colour depending on selection. I like a flat condenser sound at close range). Use a microphone to record one of the speaker cones: different mics at different positions yield different sounds (e.g. Higher end unit might have better outputs for getting into your soundcard with less noise.Ĭonnect to your favourite guitar amplifier and speaker cabinet. ![]() You can then record the dry or the wet signal depending on your confidence in the sound you’re getting.Īs above but minus the VSTs and use a multi-fx floor processing unit, such as ones done by Line 6, Zoom and Boss. You can then monitor your input routed via your selected guitar processing VST, for example Renoise’s cab simulator, or commercial options such as Amplitude 2 or Guitar Rig. box into your soundcard, or if you soundcard has a supported guitar input socket use it.
