Top Guitar Effects Brands
Im using guitar rig 4 with m-audio fast track pro but cant get a clean sound?
All i can hear over the top of everything i do is a fuzzy hum, reducing the gain on the effects helps but it is still there even with no gain. Ive changed my speakers and tried it with brand new headphones but i can still hear it so it rules them out as the problem… anyone got any ideas/advice?
1-Make sure you plug the interface directly into the Motherboard…don,t use the front USB ports!!
2-Use good shielded cables…it can help! Also use the shortest possible.
3-Don’t crank up the input volume on the interface, use the driver’s volume parameters.
4-Check your guitar pots (important!!!)…sometimes an amp won’t replicate theses problems…but the M-Audio interface will because it’s sensible to all frequencies. Try having a humbucker activated or two single coil pickups…(on the guitar)
5-Humidity can affect the quality somehow…make sure you are in a dry environment.
6-Try simply recording with Windows recorder…just to see if it’s the software.
download “ASIO” drivers and play with the options…sometimes the latency options are creating noise…
Hope this helps! I had the same problem with mine and turned out the guitar pots were not in perfect condition…but I never heard anything wrong with the guitar plugged in an amp before. Buy some contact cleaner at your retail store. Good luck!

I want my guitar to sound like the 50′s/60′s ‘surfer’ bands…how?
I don’t actually have said guitar yet. Is there a specific model I should consider, or is it all in the way you tune it? I am a begginer learning on an acoustic, and plan on an electric upgrade later in the year. Cost is a consideration- so please don’t reccomend top end guitars if I can get the same effect with a less expensive brand. If I do become a rich rockstar I’ll upgrade to something nicer then ^_^
Help a gal out?
Ooooh…I didn’t realize how detailed this was going to get. ^_^ Uh yeah I know titles better than artists- songs like Wipeout, Outer Limits, Endless Summer, performers like Dick Dale, Jan & Dean, The Beach Boys are some of my faves. Let’s say I want to emulate DickDale’s sound specifically, but without using the exact same brands of amp/guitar. Websites with info on famous player’s setups would be interesting and helpful too.
I appreciate it!
There is no one answer. Dick Dale played a Fender Strat through a Showman amp, strung upside down with very heavy gauge strings. The Ventures played Mosrites (based in Bakersfield). Most surf music featured lots of reverb. If you edit your question to include more specifics about exactly what/who’s sound you are after, we can probably give you more helpful answers.
Edit:
Well, the Dick Dale set-up I gave you isn’t particularly expensive. You don’t need a $25,000 vintage Strat. Any Strat will do, as will any amp with a decent reverb. A tube amp will be a bit more but is going to give you a more original sound than a solid state amp. You can easily find more specifics about Dick’s rig and settings than you ever wanted to know all over the net. Start with Wikipedia, but don’t assume what you read there is 100% accurate.
P.S. Wipeout is by the Surfaris and Out Of Limits (not Outer Limits) is by the Markettes
