HOW TO USE AN AMP SIM!

great! please make tutorial how to dial or blend ampsims and pedalboards thank you!

dude!! thank you!! you are the only one I have seen mention a DI box. Love your sound!

Thank you for this video.

Is daw really important for it? And if it is are there better (free) alternatives to Logic Pro X that you recommend?

reaper totaly changed the look. I can't find the monitoring button :(

Great Video, always something to learn! my question is Do you actually need a DI box? most audio interfaces come with specific input for guitars

Great explanation! is there anyway to go from your interface to an actual amp so you can use and hear the sims through a real amp while playing? or could that not work. Thanks

So is the sound we hear just the output of the Otto II or so you have any post effects used ? I also use the Otto but it always sounds flat in the mix.

Can you use FRFR speakers instead of studio monitors? I dont see xlr outputs on your Audio Interface.

The DAW is for recording, so you're saying that if I want to practice for a few hours, I have to open up the DAW, arm for record, then play the amp sim through the DAW? I'm sure people will figure stuff out for themselves but this hasn't been very helpful, so glad you know how to shred.

Do I need a daw?
I just want a good tone to play and practice with.
I could care less about recording.

If the audio interface already has a Hi-Z, you don't really need a Di Box.

Thank you for this video. I really want to get into using amp sims but was really intimidated by it.

I wanted to ask you if you think my laptop can handle it. I have a Lenovo Legion 5 laptop. It has a processor AMD Ryzen 7 5800H and 16GB RAM. I'm concerned about having issues with latency. One thing that's made me apprehensive on getting started is buying all the gear necessary only to find out i can't handle it.

Does the Di XlR force the scarlette in mic mode?

Thanks so much man! This was very helpful

Great video Ray! Can you please do a tutorial on how you create drums for your tracks?

X Ray Charles..... My name for you! Good content with some interesting subjects, keep on keeping on !!

Can I use a stereo amplifier with 2 speaker as a studio monitors ?

Hey Xander, is there any difference to a passive/active D.I Vs a two notes IR DI box?

Why does this feel like a 7min commercial?

next drums and mixing techniques video? I always stuck at mixing and programming good drums

Is the DAW absolutely essential for those who just want to play guitar and jam through the amp sim like they would a normal amplifier?
I do have a DAW but unless you want to record would you need really one ?

I just switched to amp sims like 8-9 months ago I got a new laptop, upgraded the ram to 16 gig. We got a beheringer interface. Mackie studio monitors. I got 5 pairs of IEM. I got my cables so no RCA's .I'm using Asio , Reaper. I'm using Audio Assault amo sims. I like to use stand alone vs running in reaper. I got active guitars and passive. And I got tons of impulse responses. It's not hard or expensive if you shop around. More metal!🎸

I just started using amp sims this summer and I have a pretty sweet practice and recording setup now. This video was perfect to check my work and confirm that I haven’t been fooling around this whole time lol

Wish I had this video 2 years ago 👌🏼

I loved watching you playin with your smile on your face, taking pleasure to share your metal riffs with us. Please, bring back this smile ! ;)

You're a maniac, Ray!

Nice and clear instructions, like how you explained it and not rushed through allthe steps

Excellent video. One question. Can you buy standalone amp sims or is a DAW always necessary to run them

Recommend you diagram setup for visual learners. Thanks for fast but precise video!

What dose the DI box do then? I thought the DI box took a clean signal that you would then use an impulse response over the clean tone. Do you get pro results with an amp sim or do you have to do heavy mixing to it to achieve what you did in the demo? We need a longer step by step lol.

I recently bought my first audio interface and slowly managed to figure out most of these things through trial and error, but still couldn't figure out how to sort out the noises in the input when trying to record myself. I guess I'll have to invest in a DI box soon enough haha. Thank you for the quick instructional video, much appreciated! I'm sure this is going to help quite a few people

Instructions unclear. Penis stuck in guitar jack.

Great video! Would love to see a video of playing amp sims from daw/audio interface back through a real guitar cabinet. Even better, how to include a pedal board into this setup. Thanks!

Your drums and mixes sound fantastic, a video showing your workflow and some mixing techniques would be great!

This could not come at a better time, I've just gotten an interface!
