Peculiar buzzing/clipping on recorded guitar track

I am Micing a Fender Blues Jr. with an SM58 that's hooked into a PreSonus Studio Channel Preamp. This is output into my MOTU Ultralite mk3 which is hooked via firewire to my PC and recorded via Cubase 5 in Windows 7 64-bit. The VU meter on my pre-amp does not indicate any clipping not does the input level within cubase. The waveform does not appear to have any clipping either.

Guitar Rig - change tuning?

Hi, is it possible to change tuning of guitar in real time using native instruments guitar rig? For example, want to learn song that is down a half step. I want to plug into guitar rig and tell it half step down and off I go. So, this needs to be in real-time. It doesn't look like guitar rig could do this, maybe not possible for processing reasons. Any other programs out there?

Guitar amplification 101

Hi kids. So, my friend from Conrad Amps has built another incredible addition to the guitar amp world.

As best as I can describe it: It is is called 'The Pentode' and it has a dual pentode pre in it. As well as several other layers of slick guitar sound to it.

He's finally building heads only for all you Marshall cabinetted guys out there.

What types of changes do you make to your DI guitars?

Hey guys, I have been recording in fruity loops and using guitar rig to model. So far I really like it, it's definitely easy and I can play in my dorm and get a cool sound. But what types of changes do you usually have to make to get yours to sit in the mix? Or do they tend to sit well as they are? How many tracks do you typically use for a heavily distorted chorus?

Recording fingerpicking guitar

I've recorded acoustic guitar several times, I usually use a single condenser, or two pencil condensers x/y'd. But this time I'm trying to record a tune without a pick, I'm sorta just getting tone and squeeks from the fingers. if any of you guys have experience with recording soft mellow fingerpicking acoustic please share.

I'm aiming towards a sound like this:

Recording guitar on Sonar 6

Me and my brother were recording some music last night on sonar, he is an acoustic alternative musician and i am a hip hop artist so the way we record our vocals/instruments differ. For some reason when he would use his guitar to record it would cut off when recording and were forced to loop it. Also we're now having problems with choppy feed back.
