In this video I’m going to show you how I get an inspiring and exciting sound plugging my guitar right into my laptop! It’s been about 6 years since I delved into the world of plug-in based amp simulators, and a lot has changed.
I used to use Native Instrument’s Guitar Rig 5 quite extensively, either because I couldn’t record a real amp, or there were certain sounds I wanted to dial in (like super heavy, high gain tones) that I just didn’t have the setup to achieve. I got some great sounds out of it (some of which made it to the final mix on various projects), but I know things have come a long way since then. For this video I selected the Neural DSP Granophyre plug-in, based purely on looks, and I’ll show you how I use it to dial in a good basic sound and some inspiring ambience, as well as give you a few tips for setting up an ergonomic laptop based recording rig.
