In many of my recordings (mostly quieter or acoustic songs) there is a good amount of string buzz that is unrelated to the playing and simply comes from the string rattle getting picked up by the pickup or mic.

I can live with the noise, but would rather have the option to minimize it.

its a simple question =)

Is it better to record guitars with hardware delay like Boss Giga-delay or add software delay after the recording is done.

... Thanks in advance

I play a fender strat with texas special pickups, through a 1993 Fender Blues Deville..
It sounds pretty good (I think) its crisp and punchy..
I want the recorded tone to be like a classic rock kind of sound.. more of the 90's sound though.

When i record it.. it just comes out crappy and dull...

thank you for checking this threat out

I have a metalcore band and I'm a bit doubtful about the guitar volume levels and their distribution when recording metal...

The thing is one person said one guitar has to have a higher volume than the other guitar when doing rhytm, i.e. when both guitars are playing the same riff, so the sound doesnt get distorted...

Im using a fender strat with Texas special pickups, through a 1993 Fender blues Deville.. I have no preamps, just The PreSonus Firestudio interface preamps.

Getting guitars up front.

I've recorded guitars directly into logic, and I'm looking to get them up front in the mix. My thought was have to have the distorted guitars really dry and panned wide in the mix, but have the volumes low, that way I could really turn up the vocals in the mix.

I own a fender blues deville, fender strat, sm57's and a PreSonus firestudio project..

Even if i had good mic techniques, would guitar rig give me a better sound?

Hi, I'm new to this forum and I'm sort of a newbie so I apoligize if what I'm asking for doesn't make sense. I remember when I was back in high school I purchased a bass synthesizer pedal that did all sorts of crazy stuff with my bass.

For my school, I just bought a Line6 Spider IV 75-watt amp. It is solid state. What would happen if I put the Groovetubes Brick in front of it as a tube pre-amp?

I use a dimarzio acoustic pickup on the inside of my acoustic uke. I plugged my baby into the amp, and there was LOTS of feedback at even low levels on the amp. would using a DI box help remedy this or no?

I'm recording guitars in a few weeks, which will be high distortion guitars in a prog metal song.

What I've done in the past is I always pan one track hard L and other hard R.
Sometimes I've copied and pasted parts between tracks (when I'm lazy) and sometimes I've recored the same thing on each track.

Remember I'm talking about both guitars playing the same thing.
