Question

Is there a way to get rid of the clean guitar from leaving input monitoring on, in the distorted guitar channel if ive already recorded it? or even mask it to where i cant hear it?

I didn’t notice the clean guitar sound coming thru until way late in the game... but I think I still have the original guitar recording somewhere. I’m pretty sure I left input monitoring on when I recorded it in GarageBand, then I moved it to Logic. Is there a way to get rid of that clean guitar this late or do I have to re-record the guitars, or is there a filter or something I can use to bury that sound as good as I can, or if I find the original guitar recording can I get rid of it there?

Thanks in advance for your help. I have a whole album recorded and it’s about ready to be released. Can’t believe I didn’t notice until now.

I’ve tried just about everything.

I can’t make out what your problem is? Input monitoring passes a signal through the software, it doesn’t destroy the sound, that’s the point. If you want the fx version bounce it down with fx. Or am I missing what you’ve done or tried to explain?

Found it! In the amp/pedal setup I was using I had the mixer pedal panned weird to where it was picking up the clean signal

Edit: i went back and found the recording, and it’s straight through Garage band and I’m still hearing the clean signal with the distorted guitar... I’m only using this:

Okay so I have a distorted guitar that’s supposed to be distorted, but I’m also still hearing the clean guitar coming thru and I want to get rid of the clean guitar.

So tell us how you recorded the guitar, did you use software fx to get the distortion?

I’ve read that the D.I. Signal might have been all the way up in my plug-in(Amplitube), bit the problem is I’ve already recorded the guitar and I’m trying to get rid of that signal after the fact.
