Groove3 Recording & Editing Your Guitar [TUTORIAL]
If you’re looking to jump-start recording your own guitar parts but aren’t sure where to begin, you’ve come to the right place. In this short but detailed guitar video tutorial series, recording guru Gary Hiebner walks you through the process step-by-step, from setting up your audio interface and DAW all the way through to editing the performances to make them really shine. This is absolutely essential knowledge for the beginning recordist and will save lots of time and frustration, establishing a firm foundation from which to build upon throughout your career. These videos are designed for those wanting to record their guitar directly into their DAW for the first time.
Gary starts by providing some frequently overlooked advice on the pre-recording procedure, emphasizing the importance of ensuring everything is in working order (guitar and other equipment), that you are in tune, and that you have thoroughly practiced the parts you plan to record. Then you’ll learn all the technical setup steps necessary to record, such as buffer size, metronome and pre-count settings, etc.
Next, you’ll get down to business with the actual recording, and Gary will show you several tips and techniques that make the process easier and/or more to your liking. These include punching in and out (fixing a mistake in an otherwise excellent take) and recording multiple takes in layers, which allows you to piece together the perfect take from bits of each. Finally, you’ll learn how to go back and clean up anything that needs editing, such as poorly-timed notes or phrases, unwanted noise, etc.
