I CAN HELP! (first off yeah the starter scarlett has two preamps just like the big guy so go swap it out!)
Quick Tip! 1.) THE GUITAR EMULATIONS IN GUITAR RIG ARE LAME! That covers it. Now go and get a real emulator, even a demo, like oh say, OVERLOUD or GUITAR RIG or AMPLITUDE FREE. I tried for weeks to get good distortion / tone out of the Garage band amps and it's hopeless. Clean sounds are ok, dirty are just awful. I've started several threads for sharing various patches in my forum so give them a shot! https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/guitar_fo...p?showforum=203 So 1.)Open Garage Band 2.)Select the input from your interface/and plug phones in to phones out of interface. 3.)Select REAL INSTRUMENT for the track NOT GUITAR (bypass the crap amps in GB) 4.)Apply a proper plugin like AMPLITUDE FREE And BINGO! Now add other tracks, drums loops, etc. Your recording! Todd Hi guys So yesterday I bought myself the Focusrite scarlett 18i6. And today I realized I have NO IDEA what I'm doing. It took me 2 hours just to figure out how to make it work with garageband! So currently this is what I do.
1 Plug my guitar direct into my interface ( because I haven't bought a mic yet ) 2 Open up garageband and record . And thats it. I am quite dissapointted with the tone I am getting . I am hoping that will change once I get a mic and mic my amp. but all in all I am wondering if I am in a little over my head. Something tells me I should be getting more out of my interface. So I am debating exchanging it ( if the store will let me ) for an interface with less bells and whistles seeing as I dont even know how to use them. I was thinking like maybe either the M-Audio MOBILE PRE MKII or The focusrite Scarlett 2i2. My goals are to be able to record for the GMC REC program, Post Youtube covers And do some singing and write some songs so I would need some sort of software that does drum, and bass lines. So if you guys dont mind would you please take the time to tell me how your record with all the steps included, and what software you guys use. Thanks This post has been edited by Todd Simpson: Jul 20 2012, 12:55 PM |
