musicians, music producers, audio/mix engineers, sound designers, and all aspiring: i'm working on some guides for all things music creation! AMA (literally anything, no stupid questions) and i'll respond best i can. dcs open if you don't want to ask publicly for any reason—i'd love to help anyone i can! see the quoted for some generic advice i give to all new producers. lastly, here are a couple of recent productions so you can get a sense of what i've been up to in the studio.. i've been playing guitar+singing for well over 20 years, and producing dance music for about 7-8 years https://soundcloud.com/0xdownshift/sunrise-in-denver-original-mix-demo-2?si=409b7e4b7b154445b0efc9393bbea104&utm_source=clipboard&utm_medium=text&utm_campaign=social_sharing https://soundcloud.com/0xdownshift/demo-swag-surf-downshift-dnb-bootleg?si=352a120ead5b4c9bb5199a76fac54572&utm_source=clipboard&utm_medium=text&utm_campaign=social_sharing

Recommendations on light weight ways to track an electric guitar? Also what’s your preferred way to capture musical ideas on mobile?

elite questions 🫡 i have two approaches for guitar: 1) you can plug the cable (1/4" TRS) straight into one of these: https://us.focusrite.com/scarlett, or any interace/ADC, really and capture/record the *raw* signal that way. you can put physical pedals in the chain before it hits the interface, if you please. then you can go wild on the signal in the box (digitally). this is the cleanest way to capture the source signal from the pickup 2) or, you can mic the amp with an SM57 or similar (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shure_SM57) if you like the tone of your amp (i do, i play blues and i *love* the twang of a full-tube sound...it's irreplaceable 🤌). that will give you a dirtier/grittier signal, but sometimes that's what you want. be careful of mic placement and room treatment to avoid unwanted reflections/echo/reverb/mud etc.
