How Do I Get This Guitar Sound

How do I get this guitar sound? What effects is he using? Can I get it with Garage Bands sounds??

I'm no guitar expert my any means, but I'm pretty sure that's some sort of reverb pedal, along with using a whammy bar or bending the strings. Just add the reverb pedal to your amp set up, or adjust the reverb setting on the amp.

How to get this guitar sound

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2C0F7eFxhXM&t=1m23s
There is a guitar in the background panned left just playing notes, not chords, and Im just curious if anyone has any idea how to best try and get this guitar sound in Logic? Probably a shot in the dark here but I cant seem to figure out how to get even close to it on my own. Not a logic pro user at all.

You'll improve as an engineer by following a few steps. Don't start with a Logic issue, start with an engineering issue and then you'll get how best to solve it with what you have.
Firstly, what makes this sound? How is it made and how do you think it was recorded? To me, this sounds like a humbucker pickup so I'd guess a les Paul or maybe an SG type of guitar going into maybe a Marshall or an Orange type of amp. This is not a DI'ed sound so you're going to have trouble here if you only have DI's.
To me this sounds like a ribbon mic, pretty closely mice'd, maybe paired with a 57 or sen 906, something like that. And it's mainly just HIM playing. Great sound, good player. Never underestimate this.
Now we have the internet so lets look him up and see if we can track down what he uses or used on this record.
OK, looks like he used a custom Ibanez AX-120 with a Seymour Duncan JB Jnr pickup, so it is a high output humbucker and it also looks like he went through an Orange stack.
If you can get hold of a guitar with a humbucker at the bridge, you'll be making the first positive steps. You don't mention what gear, if any, that you have only what software. Again, if you can get hold of a hi-gain amp and a couple of mics you're going to a lot closer in terms of gear, and hence sound.
I see Guitar Rig has the 'Citrus' amp, so if you can't get your hands on a real amp, maybe start here. Don't be shy with the gain but again, try to restrain yourself a little.
I think your main enemies here are that this record is very live and most of the sound is dialled in to the amp plus the choice of mics. So try to use a matching cab to the citrus amp and choose a ribbon mic in Guitar Rig, I'm sure there's at least one in there.
Finally of course, it's the way he plays it too. Good luck with that.
In summing up, always approach these things from an engineering point of view. What is it? What makes it what it is? This will take you a good way to where you want to be and make you a better engineer. After that, solving your issue with Logic will be simpler because you've gotten so much closer with your approach. This comes with time, and I mean years.
Hope this helps.

How can i get the best sound from my electric guitar?

Hello,
I'm new to the Apple forums. I have come seeking some knowledge about how I can make my guitar sound really good like a metal/rock sound while at the same time not sounding unnaturally distorted but clean.
I have a Macbook Air with a Griffin iMic. I have tried some of built in presets for metal/rock but they are either too noisy (background hiss) or they arn't rock like enough. I like the metal ones but they have too much hiss and it ruins my recordings (sounds like a jumbled mess in the end...)
I'm not only new to the forums, but i'm also new to electric guitar and peddles. I'm certainly not new to guitar itself though, been playing for 7 years. What I really seek is what kind of settings I can have like a combination of the best amp model + pedals along with settings or effects to apply to it.
Thanks in advance, I hope i provided enough info.

You can by pass the iMic by using the same adaptor and plugging straight into the Line in on your mac. Try it and see if there is a difference in your sound.
Regarding settings, I was able to develop one which has minimal noise levels but also some distortion. I will defiantly experiment more...
Yeah, the key is to start with as clean a sound as possible and then add in little bits. Start adding with a Chorus effect first, then maybe a slight delay. Try all of your setting with both strumming and picking, both fast and slow, as you often have to match your playing technique with how the effects are set up. Then add Fuzz/Distortion etc. Once you have done that then reverse the set up sequence by starting with the major signal modifiers like Distortion etc and add the chorus, flanger, phasers after. These sorts of strategies can change the way things sound. Don't forget a bit of reverb.
The key is to start simple with mild alterations. Also, find a few guitar sounds you like from your favorite songs where you can hear good clear guitar sounds. Maybe create a playlist in iTunes and use these as a reference to compare between what you like and what you are creating. This A-B'ing will go along way to helping you develop your 'taste'. Its great to hear things side by side.
Goggle each of the guitar effects and learn what they do, make a few simple notes as a reference. Basically educate yourself.
and invest in a M-Audio Fast track 2 as i suspect the griffin is causing the noise.
Personally I would recommend something a bit better than the M-Audio Fast Track USB. The quality of your recorded sound is dependent on the sound converters in your external devices. I am not sure there is any advantage over your built in sound card verses the Fast Track. There are other things to consider with sound cards so it pays to do some planning and research.

The sound effects icon is staying on the screen. How do I get this to go away

The sound effects icon is staying on my ipad. How do I get this to go away?
Thanks for the help.
Have A blessed and Wonderful Day!!!!!!!

If the sound icon is stuck on the screen, then the pad thinks you are pressing the volume rocker on the side of the pad. Do you have a case or something that might be touching that rocker?
Some have reported that they have put a small dent in the pad body that presses the switch. If so, you need to somehow indent it.
Try a reboot. Press and hold both the home and sleep button until the apple logo appears. Ignore the red slider.

Amps and effects to get particular guitar sounds

Are there any tutorials on the web that show how to set up amps, effects etc to get specific guitar sounds - eg Santana, Metallica, AC/DC, etc?

Got close with Logics PedalBoard and AmpDesigner.
Pedal Board "The Vibe, BlueEcho, Squash, RoboFlanger and SpinBox" (very little Squash)
Spinbox has a drive control for a little distortion...
GuitarAmp Pro, UKCombo 30 off center.
I don't investigate this stuff enough... there's some nice effects here.
Summer here is a drag, too hot! Sit around in an A/C room messing with computer and guitars... wait a minute, I love this!

I purchased photoshop elements 8 on line in 2010. I recently switched to a new desktop computer. Photoshop asked for my serial number. I entered the correct serial number (obtained from Adobe). It says it is invalid. How do I get this corrected so I can use the product I purchased?

Hi Rosera,
This is bad and I am sorry to hear that you are running into these issues.
Let me connect with you, so right now, the current state is that you have installed copy of PSE 8 in trial on your windows 7 machine, and when you are trying to enter the serial number from your PSE 8 Box, it is saying the serial number to be invalid?
It might sound pretty obvious, but please make sure that you are entering the serial number correctly and of PSE 8(in case you bought a PEPE box)?
Have you tried the steps mentioned below by Barbara?
If possible, you can send me the serial number through PRIVATE MESSAGE and I can check it on my end that whether the serial number is indeed invalid or that the issue is with your machine?
Regards,
Ankush

It sounds like you restored from an old back-up. Did you back-up just before your software update? It will use your last one and if your last back-up was a ywear old then it will use that one.
In general, if you are getting these messages on your iPhones select logout (when you get that Apple Id request) and then log back in with your newer ID.
Sorry for your losses.
Cheers

How can I get this thing to work without apple id? :(

I've got Iphone 4s from my boss instead of my paycheck due to a bankrot. And he doesn't remember his apple id,password or e mail he used to activate Iphone.. How can I get this thing to work without it? :/

You can't.
Sounds like it he gave you a stolen iPhone or at least a worthless one.

How can I get this program to work -- Adobe Send or Adobe SendNow

How can I get this program to work? I have used Adobe SendNow successfully for several years and am on automatic renewal and getting nothing but frustration for my money! I have been unsuccessful at sending anything in the past several months. Today while working on a deadline and many unsuccessful attempts to upload files, I signed up for a free trial at a competitor in order to get my files sent. Want a refund -- or better yet, keep my money and get it to work right again.

You can't.

I did the 8.0.2 update and no longer have my speak to text microphone down by the smileys. Don't want to use audio text. How can I get this back?

Hey there tjbliven,
It sounds like you are not able to use the dictation feature of iOS 8, becuase the microphone icon is missing. It seems to me like Siri may be turned off, which would cause the icon to not be there:
Siri settings - iPhone
To set options for Siri, go to Settings > General > Siri. Options include:
Turning Siri on or off
That should get the dictation feature back for you.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the very best,
Sterling

I have a prompt from fast windows antivirus. How do I get this virus off my mac??

Oh my, that's bad. I've never heard of one of those popups coming back after quitting or force quitting the browser. Try emptying the cache and cookies as well as the history.
Thomas, some of its components have been identified in this thread, but no one there has done a thorough search.

Since I don't have it, I can't really be certain where all its crap is located.
It even looks like it's trying to suck worried people in from a Google search.
"As it seams..." Sounds like some badly learned English in Eastern Europe.

When i open safari an apple alert comes up with a phone number. when i call i get put on hold forever. how do i get this off there?

when i open safari an apple alert comes up with a phone number to call. when i call i get put on hold forever or no one calls me back. how do i get this off there and what is it?

It's a scam. Do not call the number. There are several ways to recover.
1. Some of those scam pages can be dismissed very easily. Press the key combination command-W to close the tab or window. A huge box will pop up. Press the return key and both the box and the page will close. If that doesn't happen, continue.
2. Press and hold command-W. You may hear repeating alert sounds. While holding the keys, click the OK button in the popup. A different popup may appear, which you can cancel out of as usual.
3. From the Safari menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Security
and uncheck the box marked Enable JavaScript. Leave the preferences dialog open.
Close the malicious window or tab.
Re-enable JavaScript and close the preferences dialog.
4. If the Preferences menu item is grayed out, quit Safari. Force quit if necessary. Relaunch it by holding down the shift key and clicking its icon in the Dock. None of the windows and tabs will reopen.
After closing the malicious page, from the menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data
to get rid of any cookies or other data left by the server. Open your Downloads folder and delete anything you don't recognize.

My 5th gen iPod touh was stolen a month ago. I immediately removed that device from my account and yet today I looked at my photostream and there are tons of pics of these people on my photostream. How do I get this to stop?!?

HT1688 I used a MC $50 Giftcard for the iTunes one day. It was supposed to update the games, and other apps on my phone. Only, it wouldn't go through, the credit card was declined. Still, I was charged 4 times. How do I get this back??

To Whom It May Concern:
I bought a Mastercard Giftcard for $50 the other day. It was only because the games needed updating before I could play them again, and my card on file had expired.
I kept getting a message stating the the card was declined. Also, it kept telling me to try to put in another card, or different form of payment.
I tried several times to get the MC to go through, and it didn't. It was not even showing that the card info even updated!
When I went to check the amount of the giftcard, there were 4 pending charges of $10.89 on it.
How do I get this money back? Please let me know as soon as possible.
Sincerely,
Queenie from Texas

I did but that was from a month before, I want pics I took after that backup time. It deleted without my consent like this is not cool. I had recent pics from my trip.
