[00:01] Oops. This [music] seems like a new idea for a new genre, right? Eight-horn. Ah, good. [music]

[00:15] I really liked this one. [music] happens that my channel has a lot of subscribers who are guitarists. I thought: guitars, make some loops, create my own melodies.” And it so happened

[00:29] that just the other day I picked up this very guitar, the Lavю Smartguitra. The idea is is, it has a speaker, it has all sorts of processing effects that go straight through the wire to my audio card. I can use the built-in

[00:43] actually finding the right sound. Tutdistoshin, Horus, in short, and all that stuff do now. Yes, we'll write some atmospheric tracks now.

[00:57] interesting and useful. If so, don't forget to support with a like, a guitarist friend. Anyway, let's go. So, to begin with, I would try to record it right away. Yes, let's do that now. I usually come up with some

[01:10] [music] You can immediately take some kind of chorus like this, yes, like this blue one. Here we have a crawler. And I like to start with the lower notes. just like that .

[01:27] Great, I can try recording it right away. [music] The only thing that I think needs to be sealed here is, yes, a second layer.

[01:41] needs to be sealed here is, yes, a second layer. [music]

[01:54] general guitar processing. And I usually cut out the low end of the guitar right away [music], gets in the way the most, yes, and I add a little bit of this high end, [music]

[02:06] sound. And now, right after this, we need to add a melodic guitar. It's very important, I think, to create the main guitar riff, yes, there's one like that we add higher up somewhere here , somewhere here we

[02:21] add the second processing option and we will do it with reverb in order to very important point. Let's try to do this now. So here we switch something here. Let's try.

[02:34] We have a cure here. Oh, overload, yes, a little.

[02:47] , yeah, I'll throw on some cooler just a couple of notes, yeah, in order to add a little bit of a wipe,

[03:03] to add a little bit of a wipe, [music] just to make it a come up with anything special here. Maybe even a little more delay.

[03:24] very beautifully. Anyway, by the way, we can try to reverse this later , right? That is, not in guitar chords, but in solos, if you reverse it, it often turns out to be awesome like this

[03:37] awesome like this [music]

[03:54] I really liked this moment. Right here. [music]

[04:07] this moment, in short. He fits right in here , I think. I would have left it like that. Oh, that's absolutely super. I would have made the solo a little louder. [music]

[04:20] down house ba compressor, just a little bit, to make the guitar sound a little more even [music] By the way, if you don't know how to check the sound exactly, how it changes, place the souscopter after the compressor. You'll

[04:35] see visually how the attacks become more even, and the sound will move away a little even, and the sound will move away a little and become more atmospheric.

[04:57] add some synths to this, add just a little drama, yes, some [music] something like that is quite possible, right? [music]

[05:26] right, [clears throat] so we can add a panorama effect, hide some mode, yes, so that it does all this randomly. [music] does all this randomly. [music] Then she will be just like alive.

[05:49] there, yes, here regarding how to add overload here. In fact, everything is also , yes, I would probably leave it like this , then together the solo, yes, it would , then together the solo, yes, it would come in, and then

[06:02] the drama would come in here, yes, it begins. And from this part, since it’s an intro, we then add the drums. And we will add the third part now, a parts. And I put the overdrive right here without [snorts]

[06:16] overdrive right here without [snorts] delay

[06:30] and that’s it. And this will already be enough for development, for such a pleasant sound. development, for such a pleasant sound. [music] A yes, but we will fix it now. It's just too bright, yes, in this case,

[06:45] so let's just take this away, yes, this [music], take the lows away a little. And this little thing, but it will give us a little sand in the background. [music]

[07:07] yes, or replace it with some new one. [music]

[07:27] You can play some balalaika, yes, simple, yes, and that’s it. [music]

[07:42] don't care that it's a little uneven, yes, but there's something to it. [music]

[08:03] [music] Damn, that sounded cool, by the way. Damn, that sounded cool, by the way. [music] make, by the way, thanks to the fact that there is some kind of hard chorus there, ver. del.

[08:19] some kind of hard chorus there, ver. del. Yeah, there's something [music] Just played this tun-tun.

[08:36] yes, for density, yes, and in principle the track, yes, is ready again.

[09:08] guitar to cut off the loudest reznaci. Here too, here a pause, yes, make a short one. In the bass, we'll also

[09:20] separate everything from each other like this. [music] so that it sounds a little more accurate, [music] let's say so. Why clean up this

[09:33] let's say so. Why clean up this noisy option myself? [music]

[09:52] liked the sound of it. It's like a cinematic beat just because time goes backwards. It's stupid, yeah, Christopher Nolan and the movie In Time, all that just because you're playing with

[10:05] Try it. This is an awesome feature, both with guitars and with any samples. Let's try another option here. Let's try to take a wedge sound.

[10:31] I really like that too. Two chords, but what chords? Yes.

[10:47] amplifier, probably here for two guitars at once. Why not? Yes. The main he will be able to process two guitars at the same time.

[11:09] some kind of indie track, yeah, that's it, that's exactly it, with those guitars, a little overdriven, yeah. [music]

[11:22] Something Japanese, damn, cool. Something Japanese, really.

[11:36] Oh, this is actually really cool. I really like it. Let's go. We'll put together a loop really like it. Let's go. We'll put together a loop and record it.

[11:56] [music] Why not? cotton wool gullet. Simply because the signal was clean, yes, absolutely. That's why

[12:11] amplifier. In this case, this one, yes, is as unprocessed as possible. yes, is as unprocessed as possible. Just an amplifier, yes, and a cabinet.

[12:30] But by the way, we can add bass simply from the same guitar. Yes, in principle, what's the point of same guitar. Yes, in principle, what's the point of worrying?

[12:59] sun is made like this, as if without the top, it’s a little strange, but in the mix it will sit well, so it’s generally fine.

[13:16] some Japanese vocalist and it’s generally super, I think. Yes, I think it would be great to start with just a little drum hit, starting with these first chords . . [music]

[13:42] if you make a decimorty, like a crusher. [music]

[13:55] heard of such a thing. [music] Oops. This seems to be a new idea for a new genre, right? Is this an 8-bit ROM or does that already exist? Write in the comments.

[14:15] turned out pretty well for us. I'll answer how a full-fledged track sounds. This is [ __ ] cool, by the way. For such an old rocket launcher, the dacemor seems to add the effect of some kind of real digital additional processing. There is something

[14:27] real about this. [music] Here without him. You feel it, right? How did it disappear up? This is how You feel it, right? How did it disappear up? This is how digital it is. There is something to this. Damn, that's cool. I'll keep you informed.

[14:46] No way. By the way, this is where a new beat begins.

[15:02] Everything is brilliant, just real. So, what do we get in total? Two recorded dry guitar signals, which were processed with just one processing, yes, here is Matus Osata. Dense drums. [music]

[15:17] Guitar with important. There's also a kind of spring reverb effect here, you know, and it adds an iron effect and makes the sound older. And the bass too, yes, that’s the kind of [music] driven through a guitar thinker , because of this an

[15:31] additional transient appears. And it turns out cool. I that I posted in the Telegram channel. By the way, be sure to subscribe. It By the way, be sure to subscribe. It looks like I had a reef there. [music]

[15:47] guitars, yes, I moved them left and right, I recorded them, as always with Horus, right away, yes, there was an effect in the guitar. Therefore, there are no processings here at all. The only processing is SP machine head

[15:59] to make a more film- like sound, yes, tape, saturator. And the solo is absolutely fantastic here, I think. [music] And by the way, Pom

[16:11] also made a video about the straw top. You can look at the hint . . [music] I just added a little bit of width, yes, there. [music]

[16:26] got, I just turned it around in the opposite direction. Yes, it worked opposite direction. Yes, it worked [music]

[16:42] made individual sounds. So, here's a little higher up . it was all done in literally 5 minutes, right? That is, according to the timings, the first riff is 51 minutes and the

[16:55] according to the timings, the first riff is 51 minutes and the solo is 54 minutes. do things like this. I love very experimental guitar processing, so I

[17:08] generally throw it in mainly for the bass, using rift overdrive with this whole theme.

[17:45] processing and a guitar for making all these slides. All these slides, bends there, and so on, the lower strings. It to Telegram, like, subscribe, and leave comments. I

[18:00] read and follow everything. So, if you have an idea for future videos, I will to watch other videos on my channel. Enjoy watching again everyone. Yeah, and see you pleasure, play the guitar, learn to play the guitar. Especially

[18:13] modern technologies make it possible to do all this much more simply and interestingly, both guitars, like Lavenu, yes, smart guitars. And good tracks and smart guitars. And good tracks and good mixes to everyone. Bye everyone.
