Don't know how to Record Electric guitar?

Ummmm, so in a few words....
what is the best way to record Just an Electic guitar over a beat I made? I
have a PreSonus Audio box, and a Condenser mic, too.... don't know if that
helps or I can do it with those. (USB btw:)
Thanks!

The most common method in rock n' roll is a Shure SM57 (cheap dynamic) an inch or so away from an amp grille, and let'er rip.
Or go direct into your interface "Hi-Z" input, and use amp simulation plugins for that "simulated amp" sound!
If you use a condenser on your amp, give it a foot or two of room from the amp to eliminate the harsh upper mids. Common placement in the '60's (Beatles, Pink Floyd etc).
If using a dynamic (Shure '57, etc), mess around with pointing it at the center of the amp speaker, or away from it, etc. Even Logic's Guitar amp plugin simulates the behavior with a choice of dynamic/condenser and center cone/side cone. Play with that and hear the difference...

  • Logic Pro how to record bass guitar

    Logic Pro how to record bass guitar any tips?

    What's up with this is you don't know what you're doing. Obvuoisly if it was the program's fault a few major motion pictures would have never been scored. Garageband was free with the system, it's made for beginners.
    You've purchased a professional program, now you're going to have to educate yourself, enjoy!
    Oh, you might start with the manual.
    http://documentation.apple.com/en/logicpro/
    Choose the document  "Exploring Logic Pro"  Read through it.
    And from the main manual-
    http://documentation.apple.com/en/logicpro/usermanual/#chapter=10%26section=0
    Don't worry, it won't hurt too much.

  • Recording electric guitar

    Hi,
    I'm trying to record off my guitar via a Griffin cable, but don't know how to go about it- the program doesn't seem to recognise that any external instrument is plugged. How do I go about this? Thanks, Al

    Hello there!
    Forgive me but what is Griffin Cable? How are you interfacing with your computer, are you plugging right into the computer through the audio line in or are you using an external audio interface that uses firewire or USB? If you are using the internal audio line in you have to make sure Logic is set up to see that, or vice versa if you are using an external unit. Also make sure any MAC drivers for your audio interface are installed but COREAUDIO will see most of those with out drivers. Also make sure in LOGIC that the channel or "Track" your wanting to record the guitar on is 1.) Record enabled and 2.) That the input is assigned correctly.

    I'm new using Logic, i've been using garageband for quite awhile now though but my question is just basic. When i want to record electric guitar while clicking the software option it brings me to alot of guitar sounds that i want to chose. I chose the twangy electric or the distorted strat but i only hear clean sounds. No matter what kind of guitar sound i chose in the library it only produces clean guitar. How can i make it sound like it supposed to? Did i miss something i should do?

    This definitely has me stumped as I'm unsure as to why your guitar can be heard, but with none of the channel strips plugins applied to the sound.
    On the record enabled channel strip that contains your guitar input, is the "I" button located near the "R" active? Also, if you record your guitar, can you hear the FX applied to it when you play back the recorded track?

  • Don't know how to handle this relationship

    I am a college student and am having a hard time wrapping my head around the database I have to work with for a project. The project entails implementing an auto parts application. I have not encountered a relationship like this before. I have linked to a document I made to describe the table. It can be found here: http://91.121.116.152/graph.pdf. There are basically 4 tables in the database. There is 1 table for all the automakers. (MAKER). Then, there are many tables in the form of APL___ where ___ is a column for the MAKER Table. The APL tables contain all the different models and links to the different parts. The column RLINK references RADCRX which contains 16 different columns. Each set of 4 columns contains part numbers that link to a RAD___ (where ___ is a 3 letter abbr for a vendor).
    I've done my best to explain it in English, but I think the document may help. Naturally the assignment is to find parts for a specified car. My problem is how do I do this as effciently as possible? I don't know how to handle a relationship where column name points to a table name, not a column in the table. It could be done with a very long join such as
    SELECT * FROM RADMOD, RADCRX WHERE RADCRX.MOD1=RADMOD.P_NUMBER
    or so on for each column in RADCRX. This doesn't seem right. I thought about doing joins on the tables, but I don't know how to do it. The DB as about 20K records. Does anyone have any insight?

    Try the ff solution if it works:
    1.)Create a union view for APL_ _ _
    create or replace view v_APL_ALL as
    select a.*,'CHE' m_code from APLCHE a
    union all
    select b.*,'TOY' m_code from APLTOY b
    union all
    select b.*,'HON' m_code from APLHON b
    union all
    select c.*,'MIT' m_code from APLMIT c
    2.)Create a view for v_APL_ALL and MAKER
    create or replace view v_APL_ALL_MAKER as
    select a.*,b.M_NUMBER,b.MAKER
    from v_APL_ALL a,MAKER b
    where a.m_code=b.m_code
    3.)Create view for RAD_ _ _
    create or replace view v_RAD_ALL as
    select a.*,'ARS' VENDOR_CODE from RADARS a
    union all
    select b.*,'MOD' VENDOR_CODE from RADMOD b
    union all
    select c.*,'BEH' VENDOR_CODE from RADBEH c
    union all
    select c.*,'DAN' VENDOR_CODE from RADDAN c
    4.) Create a view for v_RAD_ALL and VENDOR
    create or replace view v_RAD_ALL_VENDOR as
    select a.*,b.M_NUMBER,b.MAKER
    from v_RAD_ALL a,VENDOR b
    where a.VENDOR_CODE=b.VENDOR_CODE
    You can now join them & query it.
    Regards,

  • Do you know how to record yourself doing something?

    Hello, do you know how to record yourself doing something, like teaching a craft, or ranting about something so it can be uploaded to a video provider... from an iMac? Thanks if so!
    <Re-Titled By Host>

    Thank you, but I mean by video, like a full tutorial. Quicktime does an ok version, but blurs at high speeds, (like if you're jumping or boxing etc) so I'd like to know what good apps record a decent VIDEO (not photos) from the iMac camera. The camera can remain in one place, the instructor has a stable mark to work within so they don't go out of screen,  but yes, fast movement just has tracers. It might have been the lower light though. Bright light would help this issue I bet...
    I know from the plethora of well done youtube videos, it's possible. Just not sure what apps may be best.
    Thanks again!

  • Help - don't know how to change this...

    Being a novice with my BB curve I keep playing with it to learn and this morning I went into contacts and had the option of "personal or business"; I clicked on personal and now can't get to my contacts because there is nothing listed uder "personal" and I don't know how to change it back plus I must have saved the numbers to the phone because it says my sim is empty and I didn't keep records of my numbers OMG HELP PLEASE!!!!!!!!!

    Mate, just found this in another thread and it worked!!!!!
    See how you go!
    Hello,
    I managed to fix it this way:
    Settings > Mail, etc - remove your iCloud account
    Settings > iCloud - check iCloud account is removed
    Settings > iCloud - add your account using the e-mail address you want to use (I wanted @me but was getting the .mac error because I set up my account in 2007 with a @mac address, so I added with @me address)
    let it do its thing
    Settings > iCloud > Account - my Apple ID shows as @mac but when I scroll down my 'Mail' shows as @me and I am able to send e-mails again!
    I hope this helps you guys out. I think it would be great if Apple would allow people to merge their @me.com and @mac.com addresses into one of their choice to avoid confusion both for us and their servers! I also had iMessage trouble because of this.

  • Anyone still up? I just purchased from the itunes store for the first time, and don't know how to get them downloaded to my ipod.

    Sigh.....really late and I want to go to sleep, but I just purchased some Itunes online for the first time, and I don't know how to download them to my ipod. I've never done it before, and it shouldn't be rocket science, but I can't find anything that tells me where to go to download my songs. It said something about check purchases, but I can't even find that screen.  I connected my ipod to the computer, and now it says CONNECTED...EJECT BEFORE DISCONNECTING. My BF set up the acct when he bought my ipod as a gift, and as I bought these songs for a special weekend I have planned I can't ask him how to do it.  HELP!  For some reason the password I always use is not recognized for my account... and since I can't get anyone from itunes without a proper log-in I'm at the mercy of all of you more versed in tech and itunes than I.  Is anyone still up that can help me out?

    It should keep asking for the password, because it's trying to check for purchases... As soon as you login, it will see you have pending downloads and create the downloads section on the left below Purchases under the Store section. Then it will start the music downloads there, as they will be listed one below the other.
    You could just try to check your account balance or view your account and that will trigger a password request too. You can just click on that and say that now iTunes keeps asking for the password and ask him to help you with that. Trick would be to interrupt him so that he carries on with another task after, so he doesn't notice the download. Or you carry on with email or browsing which you were "busy" with when iTunes interrupted you for the password (stupid iTunes)

  • TS1398 My iPhone wont allow me to turn the wifi on. I've also noticed that I have no wifi address for my phone. If that is the problem, I don't know how to tell it what my wifi address should be.

    Under Settings>Wi-Fi it is showing that my Wifi is off. When i open that to turn it on, it won't allow me to slide it to the on position. It's lighter grey instead of bold, which tells me that action is not available. Under Settings>General>About it says that my Wi-Fi Address is N/A. I have figured out that it should be the very same as my Bluetooth, which also will not work, but I don't know how to program that into my iPhone

    That indicates a hardware failure. Read here:

    If nothing works, you most likely have a hardware failure. Make an appointment at an Apple store to confirm.

    Have downloaded for example: Queen – Bohemium Rhapsody from a compilation album as well as a few complete Queen Album CDs into the iTunes library and then put them into playlists,
    When I go onto my phone and select Queen on the MUSIC app using Songs tab at the bottom of the screen it will display all Queen songs and their resective Alum pics, that is all those not in a complilation album, .
    If I know the song title I can select the songs tab and find the song that way,
    I’ve tried fiddling with the settings in the iTunes app by going to ‘get info’ tab and trying to sort the problem out that way but am not having much luck.What I want the phone to do is show, for example all Queens songs including those in compilation albums. Can this be done, would be grateful for any ideas on how it can be done, that is if ic can be done, any ideas
    Thanks for your help

    Try assigning Queen as the Album Artist on the compilations in iTunes on your computer.
