Why Even "Clean" Tones Need Some Hair & Grit - ASK ZAC 261
Think your clean tone should be 100% pure? Think again. In this video, we’re looking at why "perfectly clean" guitars often sound thin in a mix and why adding a little "hair" or grit is the secret to a professional sound. There is a common "studio secret" that pro mixers have used for decades: subtle harmonic distortion makes everything sound better. Whether it’s a vocal, a drum bus, or a "clean" electric guitar, adding a touch of saturation provides the weight and character that a dry signal lacks. www.truetone.com To Support the Channel: Patreon / askzac https://ask-zac-shop.fourthwall.com Tip jar: https://paypal.me/AskZac Venmo @AskZac
