guitar effects audio sample
How do you create filters/effects for guitar/bass audio samples?

I’m working with Logic right now and I’m bummed about the small selection of preamp distortion options. If this is too general, Where do you get started/how did you learn?

You have probably heard the term “garbage in garbage out” when it comes to computers. When it comes to digital audio workstations (DAW) no matter which one you have, it’s sort of the same thing. If you plug in your guitar to the computer’s sound card and then try to fix the raw guitar sound with digital effects internally, you will not get as good of an output as you will if you record directly from a guitar preamp or guitar & bass effects processor. That is why you have probably heard that you will get the best sounding recording by recording through a Shure 57 mic from your amplifier’s speakers. With today’s, equipment, that is no longer the case, the best sounding recordings I am getting out of Pro Tools, are when I do the following:

GUITAR –> BOSS GT-10 –> ENGL E530 preamp –> Alesis Multimix (mixer) –> Pro Tools Mbox –> Computer USB port to Pro Tools DAW.

BASS –> BOSS GT-10B –> Alesis Multimix –> Pro Tools Mbox –> Computer USB port to Pro Tools DAW.

I will also place my Roland Juno-G keyboard synthesizer into the loop. I can use it just like an effects pedal with either the guitar or the bass. It should also be noted that the Pro Tools Mbox has a built in broadcast quality sound card. Much better than your average computer sound card.

I can then tweak the sound using Pro Tools plug-ins and then mix & master the sound internally and when I play it back through my studio monitors, It often sounds better than I imagined it would.

If you have any guitar effects pedals, try using those and you will see what I mean.
