Followed with how to build a guitar amp setup in your DAW using more than a singular all-in-one plugin.

Chris and Jody tackle the concept of recording Guitar using Direct Input techniques. Generally reserved for electric guitar, but can also be used for acoustic guitar if it’s equipped with pickups. They talk about the different methods of DI that you can use. Plus the how’s and why’s of doing DI type recording. It’s also not unlikely that some nonsense will be discussed.

In this Tuesday Tip Jody walks you thru recording Bass using a DI box and also going direct to your audio interface with a ¼” cable. Both methods of recording the bass get a similar sound and helps the mixing engineer when the levels are at a reasonable level for Re-Amping purposes.
Shoutout to: Radial Engineering for their Trim Two Stereo DI.
In this video we give a simple overview of the differences in recording acoustic guitars with a mic or direct input, or both.
