Help from the gurus ...
1) when recording an instrument (guitar, whatever) where do I want to introduce the effects? Do I set my guitar amp so it sounds great with effects going in to the digi interface / daw? Or, should I send a clean signal to the DAW and do everything there? I don't use much stuff so my concern is mainly reverb or a hint of delay. I don't think it is good to have different reverbs running at different places along the signal path?
2) Mastering? Do you render all your tracks into one track and the run the mastering SW or do you just use it on the master track of the mixer in the DAW, or does it make any difference? I took Ghosty and ran mastering on a rendered final track and I believe it sounded better than using it earlier. (Long shot you understand this one I guess.)
Thoughts please?
