Dave I was wondering since You work in the

music recordings studio

Maybe You can help here

1.Let say I am listening to the Spotify on iPad

and I hear a song I real like

2.Or I found a backing track in let say C ,Am etc...

and I listen for to for a while

then I try to see if I can find what keys it in

play a few notes and see if the fit in

Yes got a few notes they fit

but wait....

they fit but they also stand out

almost like copy and paste it on but in audio terms

I notices the play notes donot blend in

now or what I do know so far

1.the sounds with hear recorded on album or radio

sound different from the raw recordings

now my question is how does one guitarist start to craft thier tone yo blend into the already recorded mix

Using a amp modeler

I could be wrong since I just start out on this

I would probably think the first step starts at the controls on your guitar

a.volume - adjust the volume on guitar to the volume of song or backtrack etc... so it at the same volume level of loundness

b.adjust guitar tone knob - anywhere between dark to bright mean more or less treble

what are the 3 steps to start this process how would You take this on ?

Thank You Dave
