Recording Metal Guitars: Gain Staging & Editing

I recently had a subscriber email me asking some excellent questions in regards to recording metal guitars and guitar tone in general.

If a tube screamer adds distortion, how does it help add clarity to a metal guitar tone?

How much gain should you be using on the tube screamer?

How do you go about editing your guitar tracks when you’re going for a “natural” sound and production overall?

In this video, hear me answer his questions about recording metal guitars in detail.

Also, you can have direct access to my new Guitar Production Workshop.

​The free workshop is divided into three parts:

Part 1: Tone

Part 2: Editing

​Part 3: Mixing
