  • My problem is that the guitar tone sounds good af on the daw. But once I export it and send it to my Google drive it sounds like a robot

  • Great stuff…I think a good way to sum this up is that, like everything, the source should be great. The earlier you achieve “greatness”, the better…especially with something as harmonically dense as heavy guitar, which can get a little wonky under certain EQ circumstances. Of course, all of that goes out the window the moment someone sends you a murky amp track with no accompanying DI. That’s always the best.

  • Excellent lesson! Thank you.
    When it comes to FRFR, what frequencies should be focused on to give it a low tight low punch for palm muting and also sustain some pinch harmonics?
    There is of course a lot of variety with tube and solid state amps by comparison, but some offer incredible low end response that you can feel without having to turn it to 11. By comparison, an FRFR right can feel more sterile when left flat on the EQ. Any tips?

  • i don't know what it is. but when i use this eq i just keeps such a fuzzy sound on the guitars. when i use infinity eq from slate, it instant removes the fuzzyness.

  • I'm was surprised when i cut around 120 hertz, it just sounded way better in my mix didn't know much so i just listen for rumbling in the lower frequencies and i cut it all up to 120, sounds thin on it's own but in a full mix they sound amazing

  • I guess I'm just a stupid guitarist because I'm just as confused, maybe more so, than before I watched this.

  • I have a LOT of plug ins in my studio, Sturgis is one of the top rated here out of all of them.

  • Miami! Question for you. I've recently noticed that (like you mentioned in the video) palm muting tends to get messy. It's like a delayed "bass response" that kicks in like a second after palm muting. upon review, it looks like it's the 150-250 range that produces this issue. When I surgical eq those areas out the problem is solved, but I lose life in the tone. Any tips for bringing that low end back in a controlled, healthy manner? Specifically for parts of the tune where the guitar is isolated and playing a major role (djent etc). Thank you!

  • It's been a learning curve realizing the different tone I need solo vs with a band. I like it warm when I'm by myself. However, with a band, it sounds best when I set my amp to bass at 3-4, mid 6-7, and treble 7-8. A friend who's professional and has toured and recorded a lot said he sets his amp knobs all at noon and let's the engineer mix it all through the boards. I'm old at playing but new to recording. Thanks for this!
