Hey guys

Usually when I record my guitar I need to "fix" the sound later with an EQ but I can't predict the sound before I record it so the final mix is bad.

Do you know any DAW that allows to adjust the EQ and hear the results live?

You mean in real time? While you play? Let see: Sonar, Nuendo, Pro tools,Cubase...
But you should have a good sound card and enough memory for that or you gonna have a lot of latency !

Yeah I mean in real time
Just like in guitar rig or amplitube, the minute you add the EQ the sound changes immediately but I don't know how to do that in the DAW so I have to record and add the EQ later.

Do I need to install a plugin?

As I said - every a bit professional DAW has that option, and has its own integral EQ which you can activate in real time.Of course, also, each DAW have different settings, so if you want to know how to patch an effect to audio track can you explain which DAW you use ?

You don't need to install the plugin, just tell us what DAW you are using.


BTW, if you play a backing, and you play over it, don't you hear if it sounds good or not?

Have you tried Reaper? It's a free download and a great daw. Reduce the SAMPLES in preferences to 128 or even 64 and it will eliminate any lag/latency. It's the DAW we use for collaboration in the quadrium project.

If you amp is in the same room with you when you are recording, then it's tough to tell what is coming from the amp and what is going through the mic and coming out the speakers. That's why studios isolate guitar amps in a separate room. One way around this is to go direct and use software like guitar rig and take the amp out of the equation. If you want to use your amp, try to put it somewhere, like a closet, or even in the bathroom to get it away from your main listening/mixing position. This is basic reccording/tracking stuff but if you haven't had experience with it, it's all a bit new an confusing.

So
1.)Try going direct and using software.
2.)Try isolating your amp in a closet or bathroom

Then make sure you can trust your speakers/monitors that you are using when recording. You can't really trust headphones and you certainly can't trust ear buds, but that's what some folks have to use as it's what's available. If that's the case, start saving for some really nice headphones (KRK makes some good ones) and a good pair of speakers/monitors, (again KRK makes good stuff and it's fairly cheap)

Hope this helps smile.gif

I always try to get the sound that I'm looking for from my amp and then from the mic position. I also try to avoid adding a EQ processor when I'm recording. I'er tried it but It must be easy to do from a DAW changing setting in the input channel. In my case I could do it in the Soundcard Input Setting but I don't know which sound card you have.

100% this. As Gab says you should not really be using much, if any, EQ, Compression etc at the recording/tracking stage. You should work on your guitar and amp tne and positioning of the mic and amp and choice of mic and preamp etc instead smile.gif .

+1 here, leave the eq for the mixing part, now if you want to jam with a sound and not record it inside your daw, use the eq as an insert smile.gif
