Hi all, I'm new to recording and needing some tips about my first tracks.
First, I'm about to record bass and I'm gonna do it either using a plug-in for Ableton or using my guitar to do it (if possible)...
Since I have the Line6 version of Ableton, it only accepts 2 plugins (I already have POD Farm and EZDrummer) and I'm not "ready" to get the full version of Ableton Live yet![Roll Eyes :rolleyes: :rolleyes:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
So I'm thinking to go with the other option and use a pitchshifter with a guitar to obtain something similar to a bass sound...has anyone done this yet? I'm looking for tips regarding the amps to use, EQ, etc. Sorry if it's already been asked but couldn't find anything with the search.
Another one: is it necessary to have two guitars recorded together when the distortion sound is "strong" enough? I mean, the song I'm recording are Aghora-like (you know that awesome band
) so the clean parts are often the most influential and the distorted are more like breakdowns. The songs as they are before the mix sounds cool just having a single distorted guitar recorded. That's why I'm asking.
Thanks in advance.
