Hi,
how much Watt's should a guitar amp be, to record electric distorted guitars, in studio, professional, or home ? (is there a minimum... standard, or maximum Watts ? )
thanks.

Hello guys!

Hey guys,

Hi!

I have huge problem with recording from my Sandisk Sansa Clip+ [with rockbox]. I set MP3, 320kbps,48KHz. I can't re-record this. Does anybody know what should I do to restore this record?

Using Nuendo 4.3 and an older 3.2 version on Windows XP SP2 OS PC has 3 gig Ram, 720 hard drive speed, AMD Dual chip, EMU 1820m soundcard. No matter what I do my vocals are crappy. Sound great through headphones while recording but listen to the wav and it becomes a monster. No matter how low or how high I set levels it is all the same distorted sound.

I am looking to a achieve a similar bass sound to Coldplay's new single Paradise

Guys I must consult you once more.. Sorry for asking so many damn questions but I have a lot to learn :P

I was just wondering.. in relation to distorted guitars .. I always avoid compression as much as I can but lately even though I am recording with a valve amp and everything sounds wonderful solo it lacks that cutting edge to really push through properly.. so ..

TWO THINGS

Hi guys. Sorry I didn't post any replies in a while, or help anyone out with stuff. I've been mega busy trying to build my new studio and get some stuff in there (stuck for cash as always).

I do however return with a question about distorted guitars.

Now then..

I have having distortion problems with the playback of audio with my Saffire 6 USB interface and Ableton 8.2.1 software that came with it. I can monitor through the interface with headphones while recording the track from an instrument and the sound is clear, but when the track is played back the sound is horribly distorted. The recorded levels never clip past the distortion limit.

When recording a track and then continuing to play it back to listen to it, the sound of the output becomes terribly distorted and full of feedback although the levels are well below the overload threshold. Is there a setting that controls this?

The sound of the instrument will sound fine while actually recording the track, but when it is played back it is terribly messed up.
