brain-donor Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 What kinds of changes would you make to your presets to use them in a live band setting as opposed to how you might set up the preset just to record a part into your DAW? My first thoughts are turn down reverb mix, and maybe delay mix. What about cab changes or amount of gain or anything else you normally do?

Gritch666 Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 Lower the gain in studio for sure, you don't need a lot with overdub. You might also tweak your eq/cab with the mix to cut trough easily. My studio rythme tone is more tight, dry and unforgiven. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like you said, turn off reverberation and delays (except if the delay is really a part of your sound, but keep it low). For the rest tweak EQ, pass filters etc.. in your DAW after, like you would do normally to get a track in the mix ;-) Also record the dry guitar signal too, as it can be useful to 'dry up' your sound or just to have extra to play with!

jbuhajla Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 I tend to not use reverb live due to the natural reverb of the room. So, I use more reverb when recording since I am playing purely in the digital realm with no real "room". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DunedinDragon Posted December 30, 2017 Share Posted December 30, 2017 I can't say I really adjust much between the recorded preset and the live preset. I go through this quite often as I put together demo versions of original songs the band will be playing in order to help them get a feel for their parts and practice the song to that demo track. The preset I build for that guitar part is used when we take it live. But that may be due to the fact I'm not really focusing on building a studio version of the song as that would come later when the band records it. Not really sure if I'd adjust it then even.
