Hi Guys, very nice forum!

i read a lot of threads about recording the electric guitar (distorted).
most ppl say, Micing the amp is the way to go.
i have some questions for this, this is my gear... can you tell me if i can get a good result with it please!

Hi, newbie in many ways here.

I am using Garageband to pitch bend an imported audio file. However, on some of them, even when I am only going down a half step, there is distortion in the sound. Basically, it sounds like intense vibrato in the piano or guitar.

I currently have a Yamaha YPT-400 Keyboard and I wanted to upgrade my midi capabilities. I want to do more with it, and sometimes when I press 5 keys at once, my VST gets distorted. (left hand stops even though Im holding the note. Not sure if that's keyboard related)

Anywho

Hello,

Ive been trying to troubleshoot a scratchy distorted sound that comes and goes in my signal chain. I have a strong feeling that its coming from my GT brick since Ive pretty much replaced/ruled everything else out. It makes my signal weak..(both mic and instrument in) and scratchy and then its normal for a second and then its scratchy and weak again. Its pretty frustrating as u can imagine.

When I track a guitar w. distortion, I seem to get different sounding results than when I'm recording almost any other type of sound. Basically, the track sounds flatter and less energetic to a far greater degree than most instruments.

Hi. I was mixing some files in Adobe Audition 3 as 1 long wav file. I finished the mix and it sounds awful. It sounded good when I first mixed it, but now it sounds as if it is distorted. I think I saved it as the wrong file. Microsoft ADPCM Wav file. What can I do to fix the mix to make it sound good? I am screwed. Do I have to start the mix all over again?

Hello,

I am using cakewalk home studio 2002 to record my guitar through a microphone that is plugged directly into the sound card in back of my pc and there is some sort of problem because when I play the track back the pitch and tempo of the guitar is distorted. I recorded a short 50 second track and made it into an mp3 file so you can hear what I am talking about.

Whats the best sounding way to record a distorted guitar.
I'm just not satisfied with how mine sounds.
