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.

Hello.
I have this old Peavy 75Watt Solo series Bandit amp. About 10 years ago dicking around I was playing with it and I had two distortion effects pedals running into it and I was jamming really loud and it just stopped working.

No crackles, no pops, nothing, just silence.

Anyways, I threw it into storage and recently dug it out because I need a new amp.

Hello all, and thank you for your time. I'm taking the responsibility of recording the demos for my band, and one song requires the rhythm guitar to have a thick distortion. Basically the guy who wrote it in our band likes more punk styled stuff like the offspring (not really my cup of tea), so I've run into some issues.

I am being told that I cannot use a Guitar preamp as a line preamp, is this correct? I simply need to get a preamp to connect to my power amp and then play a CD player through the preamp. All I need as far as controls go are the Volume, bass and treble functions so as long as the Guitar preamp has in input and Output, why can it NOT work?

i see a lot of mics being used for kick drums and bass interchangably. i have an Audix d6 kick drum mic, can i use this to recrod bass guitar as well?

if not, what are some good bass mics?

I'm planning on recording a blend of DI and mic'd. thanks!

Anybody have much luck with these machines, I'm starting to save up for one of these?

How good do they sound?

hey all, my band and I have been recording demos of our songs and we have had the problem of the guitars sound really digital or computerised if that makes sence.

At first we were plugging the guitars straight into my recording system which is

Tascam US-1641
Cubase SX

So I was in a bit of a hurry and needed to get a quick demo of a song I had been working on. So I quickly set up my K2 and hit the record button. The song it self is supposed to be a kind of "ghost story" feel. Think Nick Drake and Iron And Wine kind of stuff. So I spent about 5 minutes looking for a decent mic placement. I came across one I truely found remarkable.

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

Hey it's me again. Anyways I was recording the distorted guitar parts for my friend's band and I couldn't seem to get it to sound right. It sounds too distorted and like there is too much high frequency. The mic is placed about an inch away from the amp, I'm using an Audix dynamic mic to record. We are using a metal zone but the distortion is turned down almost all the way.
