Hi all.
I've made a new a addition to my aspiring home-studio.
A Voice AC 30 Classic Custom 1x12 w/a Celestion NeoDog.
I have a few mics in my bag to choose from.
SM-57s. .of course
Peavey-PVM 328s
CAD E-200
RODE NT1000
Stereo pair RODE NT5s

Hey this is Sam
I am having trouble getting a good guitar sound.
I used an SM75 on a mesa tripple rectifire, and ran through my pre-sonus fire pod (which is 24bit/ 96K by the way), through one fire wire cable, and into my computer which i am using Logic express with.
I also have a Line 6 spider 2 modified amp head(so it could be rackmounted) but not a real good cab.

Nearly all the guitar simulators I have tried have crashed my pc. Amplitube, Green Amp and all the other free ones.
When I apply them to more then one track, I start to hear cracking and pops, and after a short while my pc usually freezes. This also often happens when I use other plugin Cubase SL.

How can you tell a tube or tubes are going bad?

I think my amp is creating more hiss/fuzz noise than it used too.

I have been recording all my guitar tracks with a digitech GNX3 direct into a mono track with no mics involved. Do you record two tracks 1 D.I. and 1 direct. Is it better to reamp? Wouldnt that be more time? Also what equipment do you use to amp? Is anyone else using direct guitar recording?

I rerecorded a cover of Transylvanian Hunger by Darkthrone in my solo project Degorrot. The whole song is finished by the guitar sounds fuzzy as hell. I used that piece of garbage DOD Death Metal Distortion pedal. I don't wanna rerecord the whole damn song again, is there anything I can do to reduce this fuzz or am I just gonna have to rerecord it with my Boss Metal Zone pedal :x ?

Hi all! Just wondering if any of you have ever tried recording electric guitar/electric bass with a Sennheiser E604? Have read people saying that the E604's sound a LITTLE like MD421's on toms, so therefor i wondered if they would be good as bass/guitar-mics. I know it is not very common to use these as mentioned, but. .anyone have any experience?

recording an Emo band...

I wanted to know your opinions on recording w/ two 12" speakers.
I have been thinking about getting a two 12 cabinet to record with. Is there really any reason that most guys use a four 12 cabinet?
Shouldn't two 12's be enough?

Of course my guitar amp head is like 125W.

I've been told that, with the mics I have (two knockoff Oktava MK012's), a good way to mic an acoustic guitar is to put one mic about 5 inches away perpendicular to the 12th fret and one about 5-6 inches away pointing just to the left of the hole. This sound effective? If not, any advice? And, if so, should the levels be as high as I can get them before they peak?
