I'm serious, to me you are a legend, super helpful
Out of interest, if I ever wanted to record guitar and vocals at the same time how would I go about it?

I'm serious, to me you are a legend, super helpful Out of interest, if I ever wanted to record guitar and vocals at the same time how would I go about it? Cheers again buddy It's good that you ask actually, maybe Kris would bookmark this topic as pretty much your questions represent everyones needs at some point You mean acoustic guitar right? your guitar has a line out so soundcard input 1 is covered (guitar), for the vocal both sm57/58 (same mic., only the top is different for each model) can work for demo purposes (must keep it very close and off-axis to mouth) but if someone asked me the same question and if I didn't know their gear I'd recommend a condencer mic. If the source isn't too loud like a drum or electric guitar, we use condencer type mic.s (these are the ones that require phantom power). They are very sensitive and detailed, for vocal its important to use a pop filter as we blow too much air on some words to the mic. . They pickup all the good and bad detail, bad is like computer noise, car noise from outside or tapping of feet...so it can capture both vocal and guitar at the same time though the overall sound would be roomey, so in a studio we usually prefer 2 mic.s if the song is played and sung at the same time. Edit; I just realized, you asked for the use on you GT001? ....mmm sorry I don't think it can do it check the link, the mic. section is right at the end of the English part of the manual (page 13); http://lib.roland.co.jp/support/en/manuals...egfispd01_W.pdf This post has been edited by Mertay: Dec 2 2015, 04:52 PM |

Thanks Mertay,
What equipment would I have to get in order to record electric guitar and vocals simultaneously? Sorry for all the questions but it's a very interesting subject Cheers Phil -------------------- SEE MY GMC CERTIFICATE “Success is not obtained overnight.

Great thanks Mertay
I'm thinking I could possibly use the GT001 in the FX loop if I got a Blackstar HT5R head just for modulation effects. I'm a bit lost in all this really. If I did do that what interface would you suggest to be able to record two mics or one mic and electric/acoustic input. Not that I want to sing myself but someone might or I might want to do a video for Gab or something explaining something at the same time. It will just save time Cheers This post has been edited by Phil66: Dec 2 2015, 09:16 PM -------------------- SEE MY GMC CERTIFICATE “Success is not obtained overnight.

A-Guitar to gt001 using its amps and fx to soundcard. B-guitar to amp (from amps cab. output) to gt001 for only fx to soundcard. A or B is really your choice for the tone you like. As for the HT5R, I highly recommend you not to change your amp until you find the signal chain that works for you. THere are a gaziilon ways and products on the market to solve or create any recording approach but first we must find the solid ground. I wouldn't want you to invest in an amp and not use it later on. And keep in mind I'm not even going to mention deep on tone preference as the amp is the heart of our tone. PS; Just looking at the HT5R, seems its main advantage is its features and as for amp tone it might not sound so different from your current amp but this is just a guess. I'm a bit confused with the term "soundcard" . my GT 001 IS my soundcard so it is confusing. -------------------- SEE MY GMC CERTIFICATE “Success is not obtained overnight.

What Mertay Said!! Sounds like it may be time to get a multi channel interface Any unit from FOCUSRITE or PRESONUS will get the job done. Below about $250 the quality is similar as are the specs. It would let you record multiple inputs at the same time. E.G. singing through a mic, and your guitar. You can always get a 4 channel interface so you can record your amp with a mic, your voice with another mic, and your dry guitar signal for plugin/reamping Just depends on what you want to do and how much you want to spend. Thanks Todd, It's more about what I want to be able to do should the situation arise It seems sweet to be able to record a dry guitar signal at the same time as recording but how would I route it? Cheers Yeah but in a 2 input approach I discribed above, it can be used for its processor functions. If it was a normal soundcard with only 1 input then it wouldn't have any function at all. Thanks Mertay, So would I need two soundcards/interfaces? Sorry about all the questions, I'm not a dingbat really but connecting stuff together bamboozles me. I really get confused when I have a new TV Cheers This post has been edited by Phil66: Dec 3 2015, 10:03 AM -------------------- SEE MY GMC CERTIFICATE “Success is not obtained overnight.

OK, I'm back, these were recorded with the mic about 2" (50 mm) from the grill cloth, between the centre and edge of the speaker cone (10") with the mic input set to +20db and the mic point perpendicular to the cab.
It doesn't sound the same as it does in in the room, it almost has an echo quality to it which I also noticed when my wife came in and decided to have a go at saying "testing testing, two, two, two" The amp is much crisper, obviously there is a huge learning curve for me to do on my own but any pointers would be great. Given the volume I am playing at should I have gone for a condenser mic? I can only get it to hit -16db on the Reaper peak meter, or should I get a mic preamp? https://soundcloud.com/gmcphil-1/bridge-cleanish https://soundcloud.com/gmcphil-1/neck-cleanish https://soundcloud.com/gmcphil-1/bridge-dirty https://soundcloud.com/gmcphil-1/neck-dirty -------------------- SEE MY GMC CERTIFICATE “Success is not obtained overnight.

Thanks Mertay,
I'll do some more tomorrow, the distortion was the clean channel with gain full and the Afterburner with full volume, tiny gain, tone 12 o clock, mid edge 12 o clock, modern setting, green clipper. What I didn't like was the fact that it didn't sound close to the original when played through my monitors. For reference here is the acoustic with mic about a foot from soundhole. https://soundcloud.com/gmcphil-1/acoustic Thanks Mertay, glad you like the sound swaps -------------------- SEE MY GMC CERTIFICATE “Success is not obtained overnight.
