Vintage or Twangy Guitar??

When I select the "Vintage Guitar", I get "Twangy Guitar" sounds. What gives? LP9, Snow Leopard, MacBook Pro, 4gb. Thanx.

What is "vintage guitar"..? A channel strip? An EXS instrument? A plugin setting for the ES2? An Apple Loop?
Because looking at my Logic content, I can't find a single thing called "Vintage Guitar" in Logic's included content at all...

Gibson Dark Fire guitar

Gibson has done it again!! After creating a new chapter in guitar history with the Robot Guitar, they have brought the technology to a new level with the Dark Fire. Based off the classic look and beauty of the original Les Paul design that has been rocking the world since the 1950’s, this guitar carries on that tradition with the added bonus of the most advanced guitar technology of today.
This beautiful guitar has a chambered body with a figured maple top, mahogany sides and back, and a fast maple neck with a 22-fret rosewood fingerboard. The finish on this guitar is incredible and must be seen in person to get the full effect. Gibson created the Dark Fire nitrocellulose finish especially for this limited edition run of the guitar. The finish is wonderfully complimented by a double black binding following the guitar body’s curves perfectly. Next are the BurstBucker III and 6 Piezo pickups that are added to this guitar to make it a versatile tone monster. The final touch on this guitar is the classic Gibson flowerpot inlay on the headstock. This same inlay has graced a number of other classic designs by Gibson since 1911 and really ties the history of their instruments together with this breakthrough design.
The Dark Fire also includes the powerhead tuners first introduced with the Robot Guitar capable of 500 preset tunings on the fly. However, they have extended the battery life of the original version to be twice as long. With the Robot technology Gibson has now introduced their new Chameleon Tone Technology with the Dark Fire which allows the guitar to create any tone that you have ever wanted put through an amplifier. Working with the Chameleon Tone Technology is the Robot Interface Pack (RIP) which allows you to connect the Dark Fire guitar to Windows or Mac computers to unleash this monster instrument even further and converts the guitars analog signal to a digital signal. RIP connects to your computer with a single FireWire cable and the computer gives you instant access to countless recording applications and software effects processors, that come with every Dark Fire guitar. These programs give access to hundreds of different guitar effects and amplifiers. Ultimately it’s the classic Gibson build and feel that make this not just a new wave of techy guitar fad but a rock solid instrument. To get a more in depth description of the Dark Fire and a full listing of all that is included when you purchase this piece of history, check out the link below.

Guitar sounds awesome! I own a couple vintage Gibson jazz guitars, but would be interested because of automatic tuning and tonal options.

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?

Advice on Creating Pedal Steel Guitar Instrument

Hi, everyone.
I am looking for some advice on creating an authentic Pedal Steel Guitar software instrument. I have all 4 Jam Packs, so would have access to any existing Guitar software instrument. I've played with the Jazz Chorus Electric, Twangy Electric and Clean Electric instruments with varying degrees of success.
The best results have been from starting with the Twangy Electric instrument:
Effects:
Compression>None
Amp Simulation>Manual>British Clean (defaults)
Chorus>Manual>Defaults
Equalizer>Manual>Bass Gain 30%>Mid Gain 80%>Mid Freq 80%>Treble Gain 80%
Echo>20%
Reverb>60%
* All values approximate. *
However, the sound is not quite there yet. Not being really familiar with how a Pedal Steel sound is actually created, I have just used trial and error based on what I can hear.
Anyway, if anyone can help out with any Starting out instruments and settings to modify that instrument to get a Pedal Steel sound, I would be very grateful.
BTW - Has anyone compiled a site yet with tips and tricks, or lists of instruments that can be created using the default and Jam Pack instruments? If not, it may be something I may undergo creating!
Thanks for any help you can give.

The problem with pedal steel is that the absolutely unique sound is created through a complex mixture of techniques.
The "steel" slide itself which is effectively a smooth pitch shift.
The volume pedal which gives you the swell effect .
Various other pedals and knee operated levers which change the tunings of the strings.
Even if you get the basic electric sound I'm not sure how you can program all those parameters into the sound.
I guess you could use "expression" in place of the volume control but the pitch shift would be virtually impossible to do as the pitch shift in GB is limited to such a small range. You have to be able to create a smooth slide over more than octave.
If you do find one let us know as I'd love to see how they did it
Cheers

How do you monitor (turn on monitor) for Software guitar effects?

I can monitor the guitar effects when I select "Audio" instruments form the "New Tracks" browser by clicking on the "I" , but when I select "Software Insrument" the guitar sound comes out "clean" no matter which guitar I choose from the browser. Thank you.

So in order to hear the effects of the "Software" instrument effect (say for instance "beatnik guitar" from the instrument browser) I need to use a MIDI equipped guitar? I am able to hear the effects of the pianos and keys using a USB controller. Is that considered MIDI? It doesn't make since that I would need a MIDI equipped guitar to monitor the software guitars etc..? Thanks again.
You don't need a MIDI equipped guitar to hear the +guitar instrument+, but you need something that transmits MIDI, such as your USB controller. That said, if you can hear the effects of the "pianos and keys" then you should hear the effects of the guitar instruments as well. If the guitar sounds "clean," then it's meant to sound that way. Beatnik Guitar, for example, is a twangy kind of slightly-overdriven tone, but you're hearing what you're meant to hear.
To go a little deeper, the reason why you have an "I" in the Audio channel (not an Audio Instrument), is so you can hear the sound of the input, whether that be a real guitar or some other audio signal that originates from outside the computer. An Instrument channel does not need an "I" button, since there is no "input" per se. The instrument itself is the input.

I need help recording guitar

I want to use Garageband to record my guitar music. Money is not an issue. I'll buy some gear if I need to. I just don't know where to begin or what to buy. I just want to record from my acoustic electric guitar and maybe lay some rhythm tracks over the top. Mostly just guitar so I can create a archive of my compositions. Put a halfway decent sounding CD together. Any ideas? Where does one begin.

I use a Rode NT2000 condenser Mic and a Beyerdynamic dynamic mic. I also plug the guitar in and record 3 tracks at a time.
Out of curiosity, where do you place each mic and which Beyerdynamic do you use? (oh, and what kind of guitar do you have)?
The Beyerdynamic is a TGX 58 http://asia-pacific.beyerdynamic.com/en/music-performance/products/microphones/v ocals-speech.html?txsbproductdatabase_pi1%5BshowUid%5D%5BshowUID%5D=3&tx_sbproductdatabasepi1%5BshowUid%5D%5BbackPID%5D=49&cHash=e15356a2b4
It was the first mic I got and its probably not the best choice. I have it as a multi purpose mic.
In terms of mic placement I am constantly tweaking. Right now the NT2000 is in front of the sound hole about 1ft-300mm away. The TGX 58 is positioned about half way between the sound hole and the head, slightly closer than the NT. I must admit though its the result of 'monkey see, monkey do.' I got the info from this site http://www.recordacousticguitar.com/ I am currently not happy though with my results. My studio room has to take a large portion of the blame. Its layout and acoustic treatment was not very well thought out, but I am not sure where to begin to correct it. Also, getting to know the mics has been hard. The NT has some adjustments available but I am afraid my 'ear' is still on the steep side of the learning curve. One thing I have noticed is the mics ability to pick up sympathetic string resonance. Its hardly noticeable when listening to the guitar live, but upon playback its maddening. My current project involves recording some of my beginner students compositions. They are single note 1st and 2nd string melodies. I have resorted to shoving a folded piece of card board under strings 3-6 simply to damped the strings. When I just plug the guitar in and record via the bridge pickup, the sympathetic humming is less than what comes from the NT. Once done I then just muck around with all three tracks with fx etc (thats another story).
I use 2 acoustic guitars with bridge pickups. My nylon string guitar is a Greg Bennett C2CE http://www.gregbennettguitars.com/c2ce.html
My steel string is a Yamaha CJ-838S II similar to this one http://www.guitar-museum.com/guitar-231-VINTAGE-YAMAHA-CJ-838S-II-ACOUSTIC-GUITA R . I have had this instrument since new in 1984. I had a pick installed when I had some fret work done and the action reworked in 1993. Its a nice guitar.
Trying to record halfway decent acoustic guitar has not been easy. I am hardly ever pleased. I don't know if I am picky or simply don't know what I am doing. Probably a combo of both. It dosn't help that I have crap monitors as well.
Cheers. G.

PSP Vintage Warmer 2 vs. Nomad Factory Analog Signature Pack

Hello,
I love my MacBook Pro DP 2.0ghz system running Logic Express. I am finding, however, that I need an analog "fattener" to make my tracks and mixes sound richer and more "old skool."
Based upon my budget, I have narrowed down my choices to these two:
PSP VintageWarmer 2 and
Nomad Factory Analog Signature Pack
Engineers seem to tilt in the direction of the PSP, but I think the Nomad stuff is just a little less well-known. Do any of you have direct experience with both plug-ins and can offer your opinions? I have posted similar questions on both the Nomad Factory and PSP forums, but I should have a less biased set of responses from this community, I would think.
Thank you,
Bart of DIS
MacBook Pro Dual Core 2.0ghz w/2GB RAM Mac OS X (10.4.9) FCP, DVDSP, Logic Express, Adobe CS

Well, I have spent a few hours demoing PSP Vintage Warmer and the Nomad Factory Analog Signature Pack. Here are my first impressions:
1) The Nomad interfaces do actually make more sense to me. I still have not figured out how to get to the back panel of the PSP VW yet, although I didn’t really “research” the issue much.
2) I found that the Nomad’s analog overdriven distortion sounded very realistic. I liked the EQs, both the stand-alone and the channel strip versions. I had a goofy drum machine patch that I looped and tried these plugs on, and the EQ found life and realism in the patch that I did not think was even there.
Having said all that, I was even more impressed with the PSP Vintage Warmer:
3) The presets were 100x better. In fact, on the drum loop I was demoing with, EVERY preset sounded good, and better than the Nomad presets, even the clearly inappropriate ones!
4) Instead of modeling the buzziness of overdriven tubes, the PSP seems to do better at replicating the richer and more subtle warmth of tape saturation.
5) The PSP VW seemed to have a LOT more headroom and a LOT more depth. Things got analog fat in a hurry without tons of overdrive distortion break-up. I quickly tried it on other things, like vocals, rock guitars, B3, and bass, and found it to be extremely well-mannered, no matter what the input signal.
I can see how most fans of Vintage Warmer claim they use it on every track. You absolutely can’t screw the thing up, even if you have no real expertise in final mixing and mastering (like me), and if you actually DO have the knowledge and bat-ears to tweak this plug, I’m sure it delivers even more.
I still have more testing to do. My verdict is certainly not a final one, but right now my money (literally) might be on the PSP Vintage Warmer. I am using Logic, and the included EQ is great—I don’t need another, less “tweakable” one, even if it looks “vintage cool.” What I do need, however, is a plug that subtly saturates and warms the signal so that it sounds like I loaded a 2” tape 24-track Studer in a big-time expensive studio and tracked there. PSP’s Vintage Warmer nails that. With more study and experience, I might even be able to master with it, something I doubt could be done with the Analog Signature Pack.
Please give me you opinions and feel free to smack mine down, so long as your contentions are instructive and well-informed. Thanks!

The Shadows Guitar sound

Hi I am looking to get the guitar sound from the shadows song Apache. Can any help?

That sounds like the typical "Surf Guitar" sound that Dick Dale, The Ventures, The Chantays, The Surfaris, etc. used. There are some instrument settings in Jam Pack 3: New Surf Lead & Vintage Electric, and Jam Pack 1: Electric Tremolo. Surf Guitar was played with a Fender instrument (usually but not always a Stratocaster) Here's some info. I got off of Wikipedia:
Surf guitarists are noted for extensive use of the "wet" spring reverb sound and use of the tremolo arm on their guitar to bend the pitch of notes downward. Tube (valve) amplification, often through a Fender amplifier, is standard to achieve the Surf sound. The use of vibrato units (or more properly, tremolo) is also common; these were typically built into the guitar amplifiers of the late 1950s and 1960s, and more recently in effects pedals. Distortion is not commonly used, but occasionally a fuzz effect may be heard.
If you don't have the Jam Packs, I would goof around with the parameters mentioned in the above paragraph until I found a satisfactory sound.

Does garageband use different amp sounds &effects I can use with my guitar?

I know I can plug my guitar into my iMac and use garageband to record music, but does Garageband also have amp models and effects that I can use with my guitar? Can I just plug my guitar into my iMac and make music with effects and sounds for my guitar?

I want a white Custom w/Gold but money is so tight lately... my Imac has become my main amp lately - I have 4 amps (2 vintage tube amps and 2 SS) but most of the time when I'm "wankin" alone I plug into my Imac - I have oodles of plug-ins and use Logic Express a lot more lately but still enjoy Garageband's simplicity...
I actually have ran my SOUND OUT into a small Fender Frontman and used it for my computer speakers (gives ya' more bite than a standard subwoofer system) - I'm trying to find another Frontman 15R on Ebay so I can do STEREO FRONTMEN - the Frontman has nice cleans and with the added reverb it sounds kinda nice...
Bucky email me - I 'll explain some other stuff about GB - [email protected]

Where are all the new amps featured in new '09 guitar features?

Amps in the demo like VIntage Stack, Small Tweed Combo,English Combo and Blackface Combo are not listed as such in the amps section when using a guitar track. I checked out a lot of those in the list but couldn't match exactly the sounds in the new features demo which is excellent.

you're confusing the names of the amplifiers being modeled with the list of presets (various amp settings).
to see those amp names click the amp's image and then the edit button. the types of amps are in the popUp list underneath the amp

I can hear my guitar and record with Audacity, but when jackd enter into the escenario everything blows up.

With the default options on i can make it run, but i get no sound of the racks or guitar effects processors neither the guitar tuners that use jack takes the sound from the guitar. My line input is in capture via alsamixer, but still no luck. Any clue on this? I'm skipping steps?
Thanks in advance.

How Rock Guitar Legend Slash Hopes to Hack Music Discovery Apps

Editor's Note: What do you guys think about the concept of apps helping artists with music discovery? Does it have legs? Is it monetizeable? Read and then let us know your thoughts on this thread.--ks
http://thenextweb.com/insider/2014/03/10/sxslashathon-rock-legend-slash-hopes-hack-music-discovery (via TheNextWeb.com)
Glance at this year’s SXSW schedule and “Slashathon” might sound like an all-night 80s horror flick screening. In reality, the title is fairly literal: rock guitarist Slash is hosting an artist-focused hackathon on Wednesday with the hopes of drawing in crowds at the perfect mid-point between SXSW’s Interactive and Music sessions.
“It was an idea that came up when we were brainstorming the launch of our new record,” Slash, also uncommonly known as Saul Hudson, tells The Next Web in a phone interview. “I’m sure there are a lot of people out there who don’t have a platform to talk about new tech ideas for music, so we hope that the event helps inspire software developers to create something unique in the spur of the moment.”
Despite having been involved in several apps and video games, Slash says he’s not a particularly techie person, and is mostly interested in music recording apps that aid artists on the go. “I travel a lot, so tuner apps or things that enhance sound recordings are what I’m most interested in.”
A fan of Spotify and Pandora, the guitarist says music streaming apps are great for artists to both discover new music and share with fans, and he hopes to see more apps devoted to helping artists gain exposure.
“This is what people do now: they go to their computers and smartphones and find new music, shows, and artists,” Slash says. “Spotify and Pandora have definitely helped soften the blow on musical piracy… making records is a huge business now, and these apps help artists feel like they’re not doing it for nothing.”
While he doesn’t intend for the Slashathon to necessarily “solve” problems — as most startups tend to focus on — he would like to see music discovery become more catered to recording artists, not just consumers.
“I’d like to see the trend continue on apps that help artists get the word out about their new records and local shows,” he says.
It’s not surprising that a musician like Slash is keen on discovering new music. Thanks to Guitar Hero’s repopularization of “Sweet Child O’ Mine,” it’s hard to escape a dive bar or TV commercial without the familiar rock rhythms, even for Slash himself.
But of course, he’s grateful for the multi-generational love that’s passed along, decades after the song emerged.
“I was definitely more sick of it when we first wrote, recorded, and played it,” Slash says. “But over the years… it’s one of those things where you have to appreciate that a lot of people still like it.”
The SXSW Slashathon takes place at Capital Factory, and begins at 9 AM on March 12.

Play guitar on Tecra M9

Hi,
I am trying to play my guitar through my Tecra M9, unfortunately I cannot hear the guitar through speakers or headphones.
I have also tried this using an external mic, as in karaoke type setup. The mic works, I can hear it if I record, but there is no option in sound properties to add a mic to the playback and there doesnt seem to be an option in the HD Audio Manager.
I can do this with my HP, with no hassle whatsoever.
This seems to be an issue with a few other brands too, using the same sound card. I can find registry settings to add the MIC to playback for most other brands, but not for the Tecra M9. (I am comfortable editing the registry)
I understand they do this to remove the feedback problems, but if i were using an external mic, or guitar in this case, feedback wouldnt be an issue.
I was using xp 64-bit, but have since reinstalled vista, but this didnt resolve the problem. I have also tried various drivers with no joy.
Any help would be much appreiated, not to keen to swap my nice tecra with the GF for my old HP.

I have a work around if anyone else has the same problem I did, Although I would still like a proper solution.
You can use NERO wave editor, if you have nero installe, there is an option in there to monitor input.
Also, you can use various guitar apps, I am using Native Intruments Guitar Rig.

How can I use my iRig plugin for guitar/keyboard in garageband 10.0.2??

Hey,
I'm having A LOT of trouble with the newest version of garageband. I recently updated it so I now have version 10.0.2, starting of with a loooot of trouble getting it to finish downloading/installing. I kept saying that it couldn't finish because I had no internet connection, although I did. SO, now it's finally succesfully downloaded but I seem to have trouble getting my iRig connected - I've used it a lot in the old version of garageband, and never had any problems with it here. I have the iRig adapter with a 3,5 mm jack in one end (that goes into my Macbook computer) and in the other end i simply put in the cable and connect it with my guitar/keyboard. It does not seem to work though - does anyone have the same problems or can anyone tell me how to make it work? :-( I've tried to both make a "real sound track" and a "guitar track" but neither works..

while you MAY get it to work this is not certified or supported to run 1.1.8 Jinit.
