Ep.8 Recording electric guitar
Next up? Electric Guitar!
In this episode, Matt and Eli come up with parts for the electric guitar that perfectly compliment what is already laid down, and explain the importance of getting the sound right at the source.
See how Matt Ross-Spang:
- Dials in the plates and chambers at Sam Phillips recording on the electric guitar
- Works with Eli on the electric guitar part for the chorus to make sure it complements the existing tracks and does not crowd the arrangement
- Rides the faders during record to control the dynamics and add movement to the parts
- Works with Eli on pickup selection and player dynamics to get the part to sit in the track at the source, rather than by using eq and compression
- Creates a plan with Eli for vocal overdubs
Join Matt Ross-Spang, Eli "Paperboy" Reed, The Hodges Brothers, Ken Coomer, and The Masqueraders inside the legendary Sam Phillips Recording in Memphis, TN, for an incredible recording event, from Start To Finish. Only on pureMix.net
