Recording Tips For Guitarists
Recording music is a totally different beast from playing live. And whether you're going into a big studio or doing it on your own with a laptop and a DAW, there's a few guitar-specific things you can do to make the whole process go faster and sound better.
1. Use new strings - You want your guitar to sound it's best even if you're working with a off-brand copy of Korean knockoff of a Strat. And new strings are the easiest way to improve things. They'll give the engineer a good bright sound to work with. Make sure they're good and stretched out so they don't go out of tune in the middle of the song. I usually put my new ones on the day before recording. If you're doing a lot of recording on a regular basis, make sure to change them every one to two weeks. Otherwise you can end up with different sounding strings on different takes of a song, making it more difficult to edit later.
2. Tune before every take - On a similar note, you should tune your guitar before every take. I'll admit I'm they guy the engineer is always yelling at tune before takes. Extra weird when I'm recording at home. Your guitar probably won't be that out of tune, but keeping it fine tuned will, again, make editing takes much easier later on in the mixing process.
3. Pre-Production - Pre-production is a fancy word for "practice before you get there". You have some leeway here if you're working in a home studio. But if you're paying for studio time, you want to get in and get out as fast as possible. That means having your parts totally down before you step foot in the place. And that means making sure your bandmates have their act together too. And I always recommend playing the song live a lot before recording it, if possible. It will make the arrangement tighter and let any natural changes happen so you can get the best performance possible on tape. It's like letting the song marinate before cooking it.
I made the mistake once of recording a whole song in the key of G. Then finding out that I couldn't sing it in the key of G. We had to record all the pitched instruments again in the key of F. You can bet that cost me a few extra bucks. Learn from my boo-boos young padawan.
What about guitar solos? If you're the type that likes to compose your solos, make sure it's done before getting in the studio. If you like to let 'er rip of the fly, that's cool too. But be sure that you've improvised your solo on that song at least 100 times before recording. If you have to do more than 3 or 4 takes to get a solo you like, you're blowing cash.
4. Leave off non-essential effects until mixing - The cleaner the signal going into the board, the more leeway you have to make changes later during editing and mixing. You want to have a good basic sound recorded and you can add all the gooey reverb and delay you want later on.
So, what's considered essential? Maybe your overdrive or distortion if you're working with a good amp and you want to capture that amp's sound. A real Marshall still sounds better than any Marshall-style plugin. If you're using a wah pedal, that should probably be in the original signal as well since it's a real time effect. In fact, anything that you have to control in real time should be used during tracking. But ditch the reverb, delays, phaser, flanger, and other such things. That all gets layered on later.
Though I will say if you've got a particular pedal that you don't have a matching plugin for, you'll have to record it on the original signal. But, also record a totally clean version of the take with no pedal in case you don't like it later. You can do that either by splitting the signal before the pedal to two tracks. Or you can just play it again.
5. Keep the overdrive/distortion down - Crunchy is good. But when you've got your distortion jacked up too high it will sound like white noise when you record it. It will also sound thin and get lost in the mix. Drop your distortion to half of what you use for live performance. Start there and record some sample takes to see how it sounds. A corollary to this is, let the engineer guide you. Especially if you're new to recording and you can afford an experience engineer, use his expertise and let him help focus your guitar tone.
6. Small amps can sound great too - You don't need a wall of Mesa Boogie stacks to get a great guitar sound when recording. Some of the greatest sounds on tape have been done with tiny amps. Giant amps are used for giant volume. And you don't need that in the studio since you're mic'ing and mixing. If the amp sound good by itself you can work from there and still get a huge sound.
If you are using a larger amp, like a 4x12, mic only the best sounding speaker. Placing the mic closer to the center of the speaker cone gives you a brighter sound. Moving the mic towards the edge mellows it.
7. Use two mics - One close, one far - If you're in a good sounding room or studio, this will give you a nice natural reverb you can mix with the dry signal. Place the second mic about 5 feet from the amp. If your room doesn't sound so hot or you just don't like the sound of it, you can always trash that extra reverb track later.
8. Double track to thicken - This is the studio equivalent of a wall of Marshalls. If you want a big thick sound, double track your guitar parts. While you could just cut and paste the track, it's the tiny variations in performance of multiple takes that really work nicely to beef it up. Do at least two tracks. Or go whole hog with the old Metallica trick of layering 30-40 tracks of the same guitar part. Just make sure the rest of the instruments don't get lost in the mix. You and I both know the guitar is the most important but sometimes your bandmates thing they deserve to be there too. <wink>
Learning to perform in a recording studio has a learning curve just like learning to play live. These tips will give you a good start to getting your hit song recorded so the whole world can hear it.

Placing my Effects pedals in the right position?
Hello people
I have a range of effects and I'm trying to get the best sound possible for my rig.
My setup as it is at the moment:
Guitar
Boss TU-2 Chromatic Tuner
Boss CE-2 Chorus
Jim Dunlop Cry Baby
Digitech Bad Monkey Overdrive
Blackstar HT DistX - DX1
Zvex Fuzz Factory
MXR Carbon copy analog Delay
Boss DD-6 Digital delay
Boss Ph-2 Super Phaser
Amp (Marshall JCM 2000 - 60W)
Any advice would be really appreciated thank you, is the order right? If not what is the best way?
there is a correct order to run pedals with an amp. You should be using the effects loop to get the maximum amount of efficiency from your set up. I notice that you are using 3 different distortion boxes. That is overkill, the Marshall has better distortion than most pedals if set correctly. The correct order for effects is preamps first, modulation second, time based effects last. For your set up I would recommend the following. Starting with the guitar>cry baby>amp input. use the preamp out (effects send) into the tuner>distortion pedals>phaser> chorus> analog delay> digital delay> power amp in (effects return) By using the effects loop you are taking the full sound of the preamp section of the amp and running that into the pedals. This makes the pedals part of the amp circuitry, which makes them sound much better. Once that signal has been modified by the effects it is run back into the amp right before the final gain stage (master volume). which makes everything sound cleaner and not have to work as hard. This means you can decrease the gain on your distortion and clean up the noise.
All effects pedals have op amps that take the minuscule signal from the guitar and amplify up to the point where the pedal can actually affect the signal. This process adds a lot of noise to the signal chain. By using the effects loop you are taking the amps full preamp signal which has considerably more power than the small guitar signal and running that through the effect pedal so the pedal does not have to work to amplify the signal. This robust signal means that the pedals do not have to work near as hard to achieve a better sound. You will have to readjust the volume and gain settings on the distortion pedals to compensate for the change in the gain structure. The Marshall distortion is a great distortion so use it for the body of your sound. Use the distortion pedals to add some bite for lead sounds or change the overall E.Q. and maybe use the fuzz for a totally different distortion in clean mode on the amp. All wah wah pedals work best between the guitar and the amp without anything else to clutter the signal. The tuner is pretty much transparent, that is, it does not affect the signal so it works well in the first spot in the loop. Distortion pedals are types of preamps so they are first in the signal chain. If you were using an E.Q. pedal it would come right after the preamp (same as a home stereo or P.A.) Modulation effects are anything that alters the signal with a sine wave application (phaser, chorus, flanger, etc.) they are next in the signal chain. last (but not least) is time based effects (echo, delay). you want these last so that they will accurately reflect everything that has been put into them. I would set the MXR to a quick slap (about 80 to 120 ms with one repeat at a medium level so that it has an almost doubling effect. Not to loud so that it is mainly heard at the end of a note, not over the next note) set the digital delay to a long echo with two or three repeats for those soaring solos or use it as a phrase looper.
The hardest part will be deciding which distortion to put first but since they are all affecting each other just remember to use moderation in their settings. If you want to use one of the distortions after the wah pedal and before the amp to drive the amp a little harder for lead sounds then use the one with the least distortion and use it mainly as a volume boost into the amp. This will drive the preamp harder causing it to break up at a lower volume (not that a Marshall really needs to but try it out for kicks!)
I hope this gives you a better understanding of how effects work and interact with your amplifier. Sorry this was so long!
