Why You Should Be Recording Direct Guitars
In this video, Justin takes you into the world of guitar tracking and discusses why recording direct is essential when it comes to any post-session tasks.
When recording an electric guitar part played through an amp, it results in an obscure waveform without clear pick attacks. This is where recording direct guitars comes in handy. With a direct track, you’ll have a clear view of each transient for precise editing, like quantizing (time alignment) and comping of different recorded takes.
We’ll also explore time-stretching notes, highlighting the flexibility and natural sound achieved with the direct track versus the amp track, and the benefits of recording DI for future re-amping possibilities
Even if you prefer and plan to use a live amp in your recording, capturing a direct guitar track along with it will increase your editing speed and efficiency, and your accuracy, which will provide you with better results.

I did this same thing recently, a friend owns a Line 6 Uber Metal distortion pedal (has a bad rep btw) and said that he feels really happy with the tone. No doubt, plugging it and playing on an amp, the pedal has its own charm. But come recording on the DAW, showed him both raw guitar tracks (+Amp Sim) and the same riff recorded directly with his Uber Metal pedal. I had both tracks plugged in to a Libra Cab Sim. My friend did not realize this at first but I eventually have him listen several times and have him realize for himself that the raw guitar tracks with Cab Sim sounds a lot cleaner and more professional. And yeah, the wave forms are SO MUCH EASIER to work with when you can see the transients clearly.
Many times, guitar tones may sound great on their own, but in the context of the full, finished mix, a better tone suits the song. It can be a hard pitch, especially if a guitarist has spent a lot of time crafting their sound, but you should do what’s best for the song. Sometimes that takes a side by side comparison to hear the difference and make a decision. Glad you had a good experience with it!

Justin. Sound advice (yeah I went there) but very useful. Now I just to a) find a good guitar 🎸 player and b) convince them direct is best! 😅Keep these videos coming. All super useful stuff
I always appreciate a good pun! If you haven’t revamped before, it’s a fun process that puts you in a different mindset for crafting the perfect tone. Give it a try sometime!
Who the hell is editing guitar tracks this much? So much quicker to play the part again correctly.

Or if its on tempo it doesnt really matter unless they cant play in time lol.
Recording direct always gives you more options and definitely the way to go for most situations
