So Im brand new to the home recording world. Im playing though an older 12 channel Mackie mixer into a Tascam US-224 interface. I thought I was golden when someone showed me guitar rig 3 and all of its amp modeling capabilities, but turns out your guitar doesn't sound good when its plugged directly into your computer.

Hello

I am not very experienced with recording techniques - I am a composer and bassist, but have a new gig writing tracks for radio beds. I want to record an acoustic guitar part, but could use some tips on mic placement.

OK, so this may be the wrong forum, but I'm not a fan of forums in general, so I don't subscribe to many :D ... So, I've done my research, and I can't quite decide between two Eminence 12" speakers: the Screamin Eagle and the Black Powder. They both have a tight, controlled bass with bright mids and extended highs.

Just bought a pair of M150's and recorded my old D35. These mics are stunning, quite superior to all I have heard before. Looking forward to doing my next piano CD with them, but in the meantime, here is a sample.

I'm in the process of recording a demo, and I've decided I'd rather not double (as in do to separate takes) my guitar track.

In the owners manual for the Tascam dp-02cf I purchased it says never to connect your speaker output from your guitar amp to the recorder.

Is this a power regulation issue or could it possibly do much harm by doing so..

So is my only option to mic the amp?

Hey.

I just have installed Guitar Rig 3 (software edition).

I have connected my guitar to the input on my MacBook and Guitar Rig doesn't seem to recognize it.
I have to mention that on Garageband and Logic 8 my guitar works perfectly with the MacBook's input.
I work with Mac OS 10.5.4.

i use an Alesis DEQ in my guitar rack. i noticed last night while playing a show that i couldn't hear certain parts of our songs, but then other parts were very audible. i am boosting what i thought where the usual freqs for guitar, but i am wondering if not boosting mids at all is the cause of this. when i say boost, i mean maybe 4db max, and talking freqs from 200-600 and 1.6-6k.

I recently bought a fairly low budget set up for sound recording
This includes a:
Behringer fca202 soundinterface, leading to a Behringer mic100 preamp, with an MXL DRK mic.

I'm a sound recording novice but was assured with this set up I should be able to get decent sound even with overdriven guitar.
Not really the case.

Hey Guys,

I am getting ready to record my bands second album. I have been experimenting with some guitar sounds before we hit the studio. I want to get some opinions on what I have been playing with.

I'm looking for two main guitar sounds, one really heavy hard rock sound like breaking benjamin or disturbed, and another lighter more modern rock sound.
