Love it, specially the amp stand tilt and height
this is why i love the Mids
I'm going to apply this tomorrow
Also when finding your own sonic space in a live band situation instead of both guitarists playing Les Pauls or similar humbucker style guitars, have one guitarist play a humbucker guitar and the other one play a single coil guitar like a Strat or Telecaster.
Ótimas dicas! Ao vivo fazem toda a diferença! ????????
How can I crank my mids up? Im using an essex a30 amp in Line 6 HX Stomp and there's no mid setting
❤❤
Tried this, and amazing difference. Thank you so much. I play old honky tonk country, tele and I was struggling with hearing my guitar but without killing my ears lol. Turned the mids up. Wow worked perfect.
Awesome tips. Thanks!
I totally understand and agree, I had to unlearn a lot on my settings. Fuzz isn't always a good thing. And getting with the band you should get used to walking around the room yourself to hear your mates at different spots in the room helps too. Avoid any sound competition lol
Thanks for your help, I totally agree, but when you are guitar player that needs sustain/gain to play comfortable, how can we get that sustain then? Thanks
Good advice….maybe point the cab at your chest? Directly at the ears? Tried at ears, chest better for me….anyway thanks ????
I started playing in my twenties and learned my first tunes and licks thanks to you, @rockongoodpeople .
I still remember and tell people how that guy, pioneer in the youtube game taught me guitar and how he would start with this laid back "What's up good people ?" line. I was wondering how to find you again !
And 15 years and many bands later, I find myself asking you questions and getting the best advice for my next show tonight.
Thanks. so. much from me and everyone you inspired to keep picking up their guitar.
Thibault, from France,
great tips, noob question, so artists that record albums and do lots of gigs, like Metallica to say one or anyone, , have one tone for recording ( each album sounds different, I think the prducer handle that) ) another tone for rehearsal ( provably the guitarrist own tone ) and another tone for live ( that provably changed by the sound Foh engineer mixer ) ? or how thats works? thanks man
The "High Midrange EQ" already creates more volume! No need for the gain.
That is so true about "THE MIDRANGE RANGE".
Thank you! Great class.
Great tips. I would add the reason for turning guitar gain down is because gain saturation boosts the noise floor across all frequencies and creates non linear harmonics in the highs. This interfers with the high "space" especially and makes the entire mix muddy.
If I'm using an EQ pedal for Metal I follow this rule, "it's a frown, not a smile". The Highs are going to vanish under cymbals and the lows are going to vanish under the bass anyhow, it's just logical.
thanks sir,
This was exactly what I was looking for!! Thank you!!
Good advice !
Thanks for the tips. First gig this week. Wish us luck.
Good tips! Thanks!
I make both my guitarist use amp stands. .
What I'm experiencing I call amp suck.
In older houses or underpowered studios the guy playing power chords pulls all the juice and my single note leads become wimpy. All my stomp boxes lose any boost too.
Might be a failing output transformer or low juice causes the transformer failure but I seem to have this problem on most of my tube amps.
I resorted to using a volume pedal for nearly unlimited control but the rolled back sound loses grit. At least the leads cut through the mix.
Last gig I didn't bring it and the sound guy kneecapped my best solo.
Never again. I will be heard.
Oh yes. I will.
A present for young guitarists. Congrats man!
I can personally relate as a drummer, IF YOU SCOOP YOUR MIDS I CANT HEAR GUITAR due to the perceived LOW volume… thanks for a killer video dude
Mid boost! That doesn't necessarily mean crank your mids. It could mean back off your treb n bass. Everybody consciously plays under one another so you can hear every nuance of every instrument and vocal run that sound out through your mains. A jazz mindset they play under each other.
For soloing the band placed under you. If your sing the band plays slightly under you. Sounds counterintuitive it works every time with musicians who pay attention. Do not play with blinders on! – Peace
Thanks David, that’s really helpful.
What about using pedas ike Heix, Pods or Ge 300 . You have the abiity to seect, your tubes, Your distortion then your amp and cab. They a have EQ. WHat do you focus on EQ'ing most? Do you leave all neffects in the middle then shape the amp only? So many EQs eads to a mess.
This all ????!
Clarity ~ clarity ~ clarity . . . articulate every note in the chords.
get on with it!!
But then how did the bands that scoop their mids sound good?
Thank you so much this is absolutely amazing advice. This is the tone I knew I wanted but didn’t know how to achieve until now. Thank you 🙂
I usually turn up from 400 to 800 in an eq when im creating a sound.I put a little bit of chorus.Not noticeable much.
thanks, I'm having this problem playing rhythm guitar in our studio environment (not big space). If everyone is quiet my guitar seems to be very loud, when we start playing it simply vanishes. It doesn't matter if i'm next to it. For example, Everytime I turn on the big muff I can't ear anything…
he's not wrong…
Because of Metallica albums, I used to do this mid cut mistake on stage and that exactly what happened. Tonemeisters rebuked me to cut down my bass eq's and open up my mids and presence. which was very disturbing sound I hate to hear on my monitors. Later I switched to Slayer's settings which are The EQ is Sad face. That sound amazing, I did not intervene to Bass Player's frequencies, I became more articulate, I could express my pick up touch especially in downpicking sections.and chords became more rich sounding.
The start to my guitar career was with your videos on (I think) a different channel. You explained the power chord shape in reference to Iron Man and Enter Sandman. And a whole bunch more videos. I haven't seen you on YouTube since, but I recognized you right away. Thanks for all the help ????
Though pretty much what I expected, these ARE some really good tips. 🙂
* Raise mids.
* Lower gain.
* Either tilt the cabinet or put it at ear level (and not pointed towards the sound guy or audience).
Hi there. I know this is an old video. But I'm looking around for solution. I play at the church. It's not a big building but it has 2 stories. But when I start to play I loose my guitar in the mix. We do play thru Di- boxes. On my board I have an Amp simulator. I have heard that the Ernieball VP sucks tone. I took it from my board but still dealing with the problem. I will try these 3 tips to see if it will make a difference.
I died when he goes "Dime, I want you to back it off" llololol
i had a guy at a jam night have his fender cranked, it was way thicker on stage than my helix, but i couldnt hear over it, and when my turn was up, sitting out front, it just was a big mess, the helix was way better
