From: Jon Kubis

November 28, 2009
Dear Friend and Fellow Music Lover,
I love guitar... especially the great guitar tones on the radio today and the past 30 years.
Those tracks are fresh in my mind--for me it's Clapton, Page, Hendrix, Eddie, and Hiram Bullock.
Timeless guitar tones that leap out of the speakers as if you're sitting right in front of them.
And I think you and I are a lot alike... we love guitar,
and we love killer guitar tones. If you didn't, you wouldn't
be here now reading this letter.
My name is Jon Kubis and I've been fortunate enough to
make a career out of playing and engineering, but even if it's not how I
made my living, I'd still be sitting at home writing and recording--it's part of me.
Let's face it... you
don't play because you can, you play because you have
to.
But the real story is how I got
here...
You see, I actually started as a recording engineer in the mid 90's.
I started by recording a demo for my band at the time.
I really didn't have much of a problem getting good keyboard sounds or bass tones, but drums and guitar baffled me.
Every time I miked up a guitar cab, the tone was scratchy, fuzzy, blurry.
Guitar players would listen back and tell me "it sounds okay, but it doesn't really sound like my amp."
Back then I thought that the magic was all in the effects and the EQ
and all the crazy things that could be done AFTER the guitar was recorded.
I couldn't be more wrong!
I had fallen prey to the myth that recording guitar was as simple as tossing up a mic in front of the cab and pressing record.
Turns out those benchmark guitar sounds I had loved through the years, on all those great recordings--
they sounded like that long before the engineer even pressed the Record button!
Truth is, I eventually began telling clients "I don't do guitars. I can record and mix everything else"
because I felt my recorded guitar tones were lacking that much. I didn't
get it like great guitar engineers really
do. (That took some time as you'll soon see...)
One time I was assisting at a recording session up in Hollywood.
The session booked next door happened to be a guitar recording session with
a top notch Grammy-award-winning engineer. When my session was done,
I hopped over and pleaded to be a fly on the wall.
What I saw amazed me--an impressive attention to detail when dialing up tones,
and most importantly, when selecting and placing microphones.
Sure there was a ton of great gear being used in the process,
but it was at that moment,
I realized I had been going about it all wrong.
After the session, I stuck around, asked a few questions and
got the answers that have formed the basis for many years of happy guitar recording (and some great tones!).
The next recording session I did that involved guitars, I didn't even blink.
I knew that it would take trial and error to get the perfect recorded guitar tracks for the project,
but at least I knew what path to go down.
Fast-forward a few years and suddenly every guitarist I know wants to know
how to get their home recording setup up and running, and how to record their own killer guitar tracks at home
without having to pay someone else for studio time.
I was making so many house calls getting my friends' (and their friends!) studios up and
running that when the recording instructor retired at my local college, they called me up
and asked me to teach a class in Home Recording
It became obvious in the first year of teaching that there are literally thousands of would-be recording guitarists
just waiting to start cutting great tracks! The passion, the will, and the excitement was there.
That wasn't the problem...
The problem was that there are
too many options between software, interfaces, and recording techniques.
My recording students didn't know where to start!
Every year there's more and more gear and software available which further complicates the problem.
I've tried them all!
Every software on the Mac and every software on Windows. I've gotten to see which softwares my students have gravitated towards as well as which are the easiest to learn. I've recorded entire albums in almost every software, and recorded individual songs using -every- software. I've seen over the years as software has gotten more powerful, some of it has become easier to use, some of it hasn't.
Now everyone asks my helpful opinion to cut through the hype. With a half dozen major competing recording softwares and hundreds of audio interfaces, my job has become recommending good-sounding stuff that's easy to set up, easy to use and doesn't cost a whole lot.
I've recorded and mixed tracks for countless albums, radio ads, TV shows, and films. During that entire time I've kept a full roster of students.
Sometimes as many as 70 per semester, and rarely less than 40.
As you can imagine, many people have come to me for recording help
because they've either heard from past students or have heard my
recordings. So I teach a lot of aspiring recording musicians every
day. It's awesome, let me tell you.
When the internet came along, I was as excited as everyone
else to see the technology emerge. And like a lot of people, I
was also disappointed to see so much
bad information pushed on so many unsuspecting
people.
I'm not saying that everyone out there in cyberspace is a
con artist, far from it. It's just that most people talking about recording
on the Internet are engineer-brains and not musicians.
let's just say that it is really rare that I come across material that is easy to understand..
So teaching a class a couple of years ago, complaining that
I couldn't find any decent reference material for my students, one said "why don't you make your own?"
And the rest is history...
Do You Share Some Of These Common
Frustrations?
"Where do I start?" - Most people have
a hard time knowing where to start, and what interface or
software to use? What about Pro Tools? Is Logic good?
Do I need a Mac? My friend uses Sonar, do I have to use it too?
The list of questions is almost endless.
"I don't understand all the engineer-speak." -
Before I ever set foot in a studio as an engineer, I was a musician first.
There's plenty of material on the web about recording guitar for engineers but
not a whole lot of easy to use recording information for guitarists.
You shouldn't need a degree or a certificate in recording to cut nice-sounding guitar tracks.
"I don't know what to buy." - Everyone
online is trying to tell you that their product does everything
you need. The problem is they don't record guitar, they sell widgets.
Forget about recording magazines--they're in the business of selling advertising so they
rarely publish negative reviews.
"I've got all this stuff but..."
you're not sure how to hook it up, or how to use it? The manuals are written
for engineers, DJ's, and keyboard players. I can't tell you how many dozens of times I've
shown guitarists how to accomplish a few simple things with their recording setup and
heard "I can do that?"

So What's All This Gonna Cost
Me?
Let's face it... we guitar players are a weird bunch and
I'll admit it freely. We'll run out and
spend $2500 (or more!) on a AAA top
Les Paul or a '60's Custom Shop Strat without batting an eye.
It's like a drug... we have to
have it (and you know what I mean.) I must have
20 different pedals just on the floor in my studio.
And to make that kind of investment and not get the absolute
most out of it just seems like it ought to be a
crime... and I just don't want to see that happen to
you.
It's not uncommon to find packages out there in
internet-land costing as much as $76 that just barely cover the basics of using a software like Pro Tools, and I
just can't stand it. There's just no way to really give you the
kind of value and instruction you deserve in a single software-related course. The techniques you'll learn here will work with ANY recording software.

step-by-step instructional videos! There is enough material here to take

that...
