that sounds pretty darn epic, imo
and nothing sounds good on pc speakers, dude...
With Pro Tools 12 and Yorkville YSM5 monitors, should I just record directly with the Axe via USB, or should I get something like a Focusrite 2i2 (saw it in Misha's video)?
What do you think of this one guys? Different preset and there's some bass & drums too.
Sounds great on monitors and not so good on my PC speakers...
.When Steve and I were recording direct with the USB from the Axe, we plugged my monitors into the outs of the Axe, so I don't think you need an interface to use monitors
Sure - will post this soonYour distortion is sounding better, but it might be that it's sitting in a mix. Could you post it without the bass/drums to compare with your original?
I just put down a rough bass line it sounds horrible on its own... if you have a google on metal bass recording there's a few guides around to recording bass - they seem to suggest recording a basic drum line and then duplicating it in the DAW and adding awful amounts of distortion to it. I haven't tried that yet. I guess its similar to the trick of putting a compressed version of the drums mixed in with the "normal" drums.I have no idea about how to reamp, or how to set it up in my initial recordings to even make it possible to after the fact reamp, so any information on that would be helpful! and if anyone has tips on recording bass guitar with the axe or how they would suggest in going about recording bass guitar would be much appreciated!
Nice. What's your preset look like?
if you set the Axe as your audio device you can hear anything and everything through the Axe and your monitors..
Sorry didn't explain myself properly I've always used the monitors via the Axe outputs as well but then I can't hear audio from other programs like media player, audacity, etc.
Here's the patch

And just the guitars (stereo in via Axe USB cable into Reaper with no post processing. 2 tracks 100%L and 100%R)
The focus 2i2 converts the audio to 44.1 whilst the axe uses 48k. I haven't the best ears in the world and couldn't really spot a difference. I uploaded both the tracks so u can listen to the difference yourself (#88). Let me know if u want any more comparisons doing as I have the 2i2 until Monday. If I buy a focus rite it will be the 2i4 as it has 2 outputs so u can do live re-amp whilst listening to it in the mix.! U can't with the 2i2
