You didn't mention the setup at your studio...
When I record a guitar, I connect it directly throu the console - and also use a mic and record the guitar as it is in the room.
If you have a guitar preamp, you can also record that with your mic.
What about effects? I suggest using the ones on the computer to apply on both signals at once.
Mixing both signals can be challenging but also fun - pan them both in different ways - and use different EQ settings for both of course.

we'll probly do it using a mic.
but i still dont know somthing...
can we send the guitar to a chanel and do live effects?
i mean how can we stream live effects while we are playing? (in fruity or reason)

Dunno how you do it on fruity or reason, but it's done easily on Logic although there will be some latency issues- it won't sound 100% live.
it's a good way to test fx while playing when you're trying to find what to play.
If you allready have a theme and you know what you want to record, just record and then apply the fx later on.

Reason isn't an audio multitrack, so you can't record it directly to Reason.
You'll need to:
1. record your guitar with a multitrack like Cubase or Logic. Use FX for monitoring.
2. cut small loops or samples (1-2 bars) out of it and save them.
3. open and arrange them in the NN-XT sampler

It works! |

ok time for some basic studio DIY
there are two ways to record electric guitar in the studio
1) Mic up the Guitar Amp
2) DI the guitar directly into a recording input
1) this is the general preferred method and way of recording electric guitar, it is harder than method 2 , but the results are a million times better. basically play a suitable mic in front of the amp , u have to experiment with distance and angle placements of the mic to get a truly good sound...a good mic to use for this is the legendary Shure SM57 , but any other good mic will do the trick.....
if u have access to a hardware compressor , some light compression but be useful , but this is all depending on what u are trying to do.
sooo, once u have recorded the wave with whatever tracker you may be using....to process it in Reason....Add a NN19 or the NNX(forgotten the name hehe) sampler to your rack, click on the add single sample (not smaple set) dialog box. find your recorded guitar wav. it will automatically get set to the root key of C3. this is fine ....now to hear the play back , open the resaon piano roll, and hold down or drawn in a event for the C3 key on the piano roll, you should hear your part...., length the event (it is a midi trigger note basically) to the length of your sample... and hey presto you are almost there. now using the reason processors you can add effects to the sample howver you want....a recommended effect processor would be the Scream 4 descrutive unit, play around especially with the overdrive setting and distortion to get those phat guitar sounds....also if you add the body you can get some trippiness in the sound, thats also cool.
for process 2...you instea dof micing the amp you can do either 3 things.
1)guitar -> amp ->DI box -> audio input
2)guitar -> DI box -> audio input
3)guitar -> audio input
um this is an easier way to record guitar , but it doesnt sound as good unfortunaterly....
hope this all helps and works for you.
cheers

also the REX'ing of your guitar loops is a really good idea, i often do that with alot of my wave samples....of all types

if you plan to record guitars a lot, you should consider using a line6 pod, a boss gt-6 or any guitar pedalboard that offers good audio outs and a cabinet simulator, that way you can record directly to your pc and dont need to cranck an expensive tube guitar amp to get a good sound using mics. I have a gt-6 and sounds very very good, i connect it using thru my audiocard (an m-audio audiophile 2496) using spdif connectors.
spdif sounds much cleaner than conventional audio connectors, for the guitar especially with distortion its an excellent way to record your instrument. |

Anyone have more tips for recording guitar? More precisely to get a very clean crunchy and fat distorted sound for metal riffs (such as the one in Astrix-On Fire... best sounding guitar recording in psy I would say). I've recorded a couple of metal tracks in the past, but there you can afford to have a garagish sound... with psy it's a different story haha.
