With so many options for producers, how can you decide on which one to use? Fortunately, I’ve had the experience working with many pitch correction plugins to weed out the good from the bad.
There’s a lot you can do with Autotune and similar software. The result was surprisingly excellent, with little to no audio artifacts. I’ve even used VariAudio (the “Autotune” built into Cubase) on bass guitar parts that were slightly out of tune.
Pitch correction software can also be utilized for other instruments as well. T-Pain popularized the hard-straightened pitch, even going as far as releasing an iOS app called “I Am T-Pain.” It’s sounds incredible, leaving little to no artifacts on vocals recorded in a treated space, but are in need of a little fixing.īut Autotune isn’t reserved exclusively for pitch correction. In a hurry? I love Melodyne 4 Studio from Celemony. Watch the walk through video below.Whether you’re a home producer or work at a major recording studio, Autotune and other pitch correction software can help deal with a weak vocal performance.
If you looking to rock then look no further.Ĭlick on the link to download the rigs to your computer and then transfer them to your Headrush. This collection of rigs has tones ranging from clean to crunch to scream and some ambient to top it all off. Load it up to your Headrush and let me know what you think. It had perfect clarity and just enough grit to make the notes soar. I recently used this rig for a solo on a country music tune. Both amp sound great together and have a smooth transition when swapping scenes. I switch between different combinations by using scenes. It has a Fender Bassman and a Bogner Blue Channel amp. This rig was one of the first rigs I made early on in my Headrush Pedalboard Series. You can use this rig at your jazz gig, country gig, blues gig or rock gig. The Fender Twin is a high headroom amplifier that is great at taking pedals. This is a super clean rig with some scenes built in for added tonal variation.
Feel free to save different versions of your own rigs and put them all in a setlist for easy access. This rig will replace your main pedalbaord and give you switching capabilities without having to tap dance all over the place just to get different combinations of effects. The Headrush has a wealth of amps and cabs to choose from but sometimes you just wanna use a real amp and cab.
The bass mod version can get the heaviest since it has more juice. Each one has its own level of gain that can be acquired. There is a stock, bright and bass mod version. This setlist includes all three versions of the Lead 800 100 Watt head. The short reverb is called “Just a little room” and it helps the over all rig not be so dry sounding when a longer reverb is not called for. If you wanna rock then this is the rig to do it with. It works great to go from clean to dirty. This amp is all Rock n Roll!!!! I placed a Volume pedal before the amp to reduce the signal much like rolling the volume on your guitar back. May these tones inspire your playing to go to another level. I have made a setlist with 4 variations that includes Clean, Wash/Ambient, Rhythm and Lead. I am constantly amazed at how good this rig sounds. I added some variations of ambient tones that includes octaves, chorus, flange, and filter. It is a great all around rig for playing in your worship service. This is a Rig with Scenes that can be tweaked to your needs. This shows you how the Tails work when you switch between different rigs. This setlist has a few ambient rigs and also a few clean rigs. There are two scenes in this rig to switch between Rhythm and Lead parts. I also added a short room reverb to add to the effect. This allows the tone of the room to sneak in. Because of that I chose a U87 IR that is 12″ away from the cap edge. The guitar tones are punchy while also having a hint of room sound. I based this rig off of the song “You Shook Me All Night Long”. This setlist takes your basic clean amp and cranks it up ALL THE WAY!!!! They are great for backing off the volume on your guitar to clean them up. You can put these into a setlist for easy switching.
The Eric Johnson Rig consists of a Fender Twin for cleans and a Marshall for Lead tones. Now you can use the same presets I use to give you a good foundation to building your own. I suggest checking out the website and trying out a few packs.
These rigs were created in conjunction with Sonic DNA IRs. You will need to unzip the files after you download them.ĭownload my Artist Pack from the Headrush website Click on a link to download the rig to your computer and then sync it with your Headrush unit.
