Recording Guitars - NEW vs OLD STRINGS, SHORT Mogami vs LONG CABLE, FOCUSRITE CLARETT+ vs RME + DI

For my self-recording guitarist friends who've wondered if they need to change strings between songs :)

In this video, I've tested and compared:
- New Strings VS Old Strings (Ernie Ball Slinky)
- A Short Cable (6ft Mogami Platinum) VS (12ft Klotz)
- Dunlop Jazz III VS Dunlop Green Tortex .88
- Focusrite Clarett+ VS RME Babyface Pro FS (w/ Coutnryman Type 85 DI)
- Terrible VS Confident Playing

All takes played on a Jackson USA KE-2 - with Seymour Duncan Black Winter pickups, bridge position.

For mixing & work enquiries - see www.witchinghouraudio.com for website and portfolio.

PLEASE SHARE & SUB - If you found this useful, it really helps me to grow this channel further.

and PS. yes, the Interface Comparison is unfair due to the DI being involved :) The Clarett+ is a fantastic interface that I've gotten many great results with!
