Logic express is …
Logic express is truly the best out there. Simply because it’s is SUPER cheap for what you get. It is also very universal and can do most of everything in recording.

Use Apple logic express if you have a mac. its awesome. Otherwise just use cubase. Its cheap or even free and I think it supports GTR rig.

I have guitar rig 4 …
I have guitar rig 4 by native instruments, and i really need some advice on what program to use to record with it, and how to go about doing it. I’ve tried “audactity”, but it doesnt support guitar rig, and the sound quality without guitar rig sucks. Any help? :/

…and the outro …
…and the outro song. If you want to hear examples, try experimenting on your own like everyone else. My exact setup would be impossible to duplicate anyway. Plus, the way something sounds on its own is not important at all. What matters is how it sounds in the context of a mix. Thus, putting up examples would be pointless IMHO.

you look like you …
you look like you have good gear, but you didnt show any tones through the whole thing, other than the tone at the beginning which did not sound that good. I’d like to hear actual examples of all these set ups

nothing. use it if it works for the song. Personally, I’ve never found much use for emulated outs.

Ive been watching alot of videos of Mic-ing for recording, what is wrong with using an emulated out?

I can’t post a link …
I can’t post a link here unfortunately but if you go to the soundonsound website, search for “guitar amp recording” and check out the article from August 2007, it shows many of these techniques along with audio examples to illustrate the differences. An extremely useful article. PM me if you can’t find it.

Hi there, the sort …
Hi there, the sort of mic you would need to record a guitar properly won’t just plug straight into a computer. You need an audio interface which will have the right input for a microphone, or you can plug a guitar into it and use an amp simulator on your computer.
Check out the Lexicon Alpha Desktop Recording Studio on amazon for a cheap solution! you can also get a free amp simulator- google “mokafix noamp” to find it. Oh, and you’ll need software to record into – look for Reaper as it’s free!

Ah, I see. That’s …
Ah, I see. That’s pretty simple actually. I was wondering how they recorded drums without phasing and with that rule it makes since.

it really only …
it really only applys when using more than 1 mic. it helps to prevent phasing. when recording the same source with two or more mics, a mic cannot be within 3 times the distance to the source to another mic recording the same source.
for example, one mic is 1 foot away from the amp. the other mic must be at least 3 feet away to prevent phasing. of course if the mics are close enough together, the source should reach the mics without too much phasing.
