I need some help getting a decent tone in Pro Tools. I had one I really liked a week or so ago and I can't seem to find it again. I've been tweaking and tweaking and I just cant seem to get anything that impresses me yet. I'm looking for a modern hard rock tone. this is what i'm using.

mesa boogie triple rectifier, marshall 1960A cabinet, Shure sm57. .

I'm just doing some very basic recordings for some joke songs but i was wondering how when I'm listening to pro recordings the same guitar seems to come from wide both sides as opposed to the center.

Hey all, I have (of course) an SM-57 and a 58, but have been curious about getting another mic to compliment the 57 since I use it primarily for electric guitar. I've considered the CAD Trion 7000 and the Sennheiser 421 so far with having heard good reports about both. A common description is that they fatten things up, and we all love fat, right?

I've owned a Marshall DSL 2000 for a while now and I love the tone coming from the amp. However, I'd like to look into having more options. I've been looking at guitar preamps, specifically the Mesa TriAxis. My question is, could I run the TriAxis directly into my DSL 2000, Using the DSL as my "power amp"? I don't know if this is a stupid question.

hey guys i will thank you in advance! I have a question to ask you. My band is about to call it off (my drummer and I that is) and there is going to be a talk about settling things fairly and so on as far as musical rights go. I am the guitar player and the drummer would like to split the songs or arrangements as 50/50 rights.

When i plug my guitar into my sound card i can't hear myself play... Even when i put all kind of boosters on my channel.
But when i record and normalize can i hear what i recorded in playback ...

Does this mean i need to a preample between my guitar and soundcard so that i can hear myself play in real time?

Silly question but i don't to buy anything unecessary...

Hello all,

I have been using NI's Guitar Rig for a while now for quick and decent sounding guitar tracks when recording song demos. Music I generally tend to create are more on the punk rock/nu-metal spectrum.

Are there any generalizations one can make regarding the frequency ranges affected by the tone knobs on a guitar amp?

i.e. the range of bass, mid, treble, and presence

i.e. bass (80-300hz) *not sure if this is correct

Hi Everyone,

This is my first post/question to the forums and I'm excited to be here. I just bought the Ediroal UA-4FX USB Audio Capture (24 bit 96khz). It has one standard 1/4" input and one XLR mic input. In the 1/4", I've plugged in my Mackie DFX-6 Live Sound Mixer (I'm aware its not the best for home recording, but its better than my Behringer Power Amp as a preamp).

What's the best way to wire up a guitar?
I've seen all the stuff about depending on how it needs to sound, but the very wiring needs looked at I reckon.
