How to use guitar pedals as effects in your DAW

Great video. Clear, concise, to the point. No mumbling, no over–explaining, no trying to be a "wacky personality" Subscribed

How high should be the gain of the input on the sound card?

This is really helpful. I’m thinking of sending a Catlinbred Zero Point flanger as an insert.

Will the scarlett 4i4 work with no additional equipment?

Aren't pedals, especially guitar ones, requiring instrument level signal as an input, not line one (which is hotter)?

tks!! really well explained

Brilliant

Great tutorial. I just wish you hadn't't used that repetitious background music. I'll try to ignore it.

That's an excellent example of when to use the I/O plugin inside Logic. It automatically compensates for latency when using outboard gear. No need to figure out the exact sample latency by ear. Great demonstration though!

I have a Behringer UMC22 with an audio input for a second instrument. Can that be used? (I appreciate I can't mix with this audio interface). Many thanks!

I've been trying to figure out if this is possible for quite some time. Now I'm very excited to try this out! Gunna hook up my big sky, time line and mobius 😁 I've always wanted to hear my vocals with these effects!
Thanks heaps for the in depth tutorial!

Great info, well presented. It’s actually good to know this is pretty much how I do it. But certain details u have here are extremely helpful.
But, really annoying and unnecessary BG music.

Awesome!!! But with a delay can you send midi clock to the pedal?

Hi! good video. So basically all you need is to connect your pedals into the interface and that's it?
I have a question. Is there any way to modify the chain order of the mix between the physical pedals and the chain in the daw? For example, i have a physical compressor pedal. But i want to use it AFTER an Eq Plugin that is in the daw. Is that possible? thanks!

No impedance issues? I would think the more tracks the more obvious the noise will become
This and your phase problem becomes a non issue if you match via a RE-amp box but a headache if you have a “normal” track count 30+ without mixbus and fx auxes, vca, bussing ect..

subscribed!
does this work as well without the mix knob? ie with a focusrite for instance? can i use the effects before going into the AI?

I'm a completely newbie and I still understand very little about these things.
I got an ocean machine mooer (guitar pedal) with a focusrite-solo for xmas.
I don't use guitar, I only use daw (ableton).
Does the focusrite-solo work to connect the pedal to my pc or do I need a different audio interface (with more in/out-puts)?
(I couldn't try to set everything up still because I miss some cables).

Hi can I pay you for a phone call

The background music is too overpowering the vocals to even hear what your saying. WHY?

awesome

It doesnt work with my Apollo and Hypnosis effect box

Would this work as well with a multi fx pedal like, say, the Boss GX100. Thanks.

Best tut out there

Aren t the pedals Hi Z?

Really helpfull vídeo! I think the impedance problem doesn't appear if the fiesta pedal has a buffer but I'm not sure.
I'm tryng to replicate the conexión like a real amp with amplitubre for the pre and the cab SIM but with real pedals something like 4 cable method

Does it work with the RCA output?

But what we saw, you using overdrive instead bigsky cause your overdrive is at 1st on chain
hmmmmm ....

Can you use a amp sim like neural dsp rather then a pre-amp hardware this is where im confused. I only that plugging pedals directly into interface without some type of pre amp the sound will sound like shit

Thanks, what if I also have a hardware instrument ? how can I include it to this chain ?

Excellent! Like the connection diagrams as an aid. Other videos just talk through the connections, but the graphics really help visualize things. Kudos!

Allstar tutorial! Thank, my man! Cheers! Also, I realize this might be a random question, But -do you know what tom heads you were using on that drum track?? Or if they even are real drums...? Ha!

Tried it with a guitar audio track lots of squealing :(

That was so cool ... Got my brain ticking! Now I want to do a million things ...

Do you need to use a reamp box?

I'd really like to trying this with my interface, I don't think I have the right outputs. I have a Presonus Audiobox USB 96 interface, a Tech 21 YYZ overdrive pedal and my DAW is Cakewalk by Bandlab. I'm can't figure out how to route everything in Cakewalk, any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!!!!

Hi! I want to use exspression pedal m-audio ex-p with jack for controlling feedback of PSP-42 plugin in Ableton. But am i right with my plan? I have Traktor A10 sound card and my plan is to connect ts jack in MIC input of card. Will it work?

Why did you use the preamps insted of the Inserts (Behind de UMC404HD to the Right side) for this?

well I have an UFX RME, I wanna use an eventide pitch factor and it still doesn't work... what's the way to do it ?

How about for multi fx?

How do you know when you need a reamp low impedance to high impedance box?

Awesome, thanks. To the point and simply explained. 👍

Hey there. Can you do a tutorial with Ableton?
I have the same interface umc 404 but also have a lot of problems to connect my pedals to Ableton.
Thanks. 😊😊🤗

Do you have autotune on your mic? Sounds strange.

I've been looking for a tutorial like this for quite some time. Thanks a lot for this video!

I need someone to explain this on studio one do know anyone 🤔

Thanks for the helpful video. Ask that hard work really helped explain everything clearly. Thank you!

if i got 4 pedals how many output i need on my interface ?

I don't understand why you've connected the playback outputs to ur speakers and not used the inserts on the back of the interface for connecting the pedals? wouldnt ur speakers be connected through the main output and as ur creating a bus obvs using send and returns would u send it through the insert on the back of the interface?
