So,it seems most of my business is metal/metalcore music.I can get an acceptable sound.But i want better than acceptable.Its not good enough to get a great kick sound and bass sound because i cant get them to sound like the CDs I'm referencing.Im lacking a presence in the bass guitar usually.Most songs in this genre just bury the bass and bring the kick out as much as possible but id rather not

What has been your" best "
known process for Micing an acoustic guitar?
Name brand of mic/mics,preamp,mic placement,preamp settings,

Hi all, my roommate is a solo acoustic guitarist and recently got a job at a local music hall which sounds very, very good. His bosses said they would let him record in there, and I am writing to ask about techniques and mic suggestions for such a setup.

If possible would you rate the following: Boss GT-8, Line 6 PodXT Live, Voice Tonelab SE, Johnson J-station

Im after the most, like anyone else is, I guess. The most/nicest clean and distortion sounds. Think AudioSlave/System of a Down crunch.
Think Gavin DeGraw/Cold Play clean/ambient sounds.

If possible give any pros/cons to look out/listen for.

I am starting to track guitar.
The guitarist I am going to track has cheap gear.
One of those Behringer V-Amp heads w/a 1X12 speaker.

It has XLR outs L/R. Does anyone record guitar on a, "stereo" track L/R? Should I just run one channel into my Brick and record mono? Is this rig worth putting a mic on?

Just got done listening to some G'n'R(Appetite for Destruction) and listened to the guitar panning. I've seen a lot of people write about panning and reasons not to pan hard L/R. But, it seems that G'n'R did it with great results.

My friend wants to start using his PC for recording his acoustic guitar and vocals.
I told him to get an interface and then he should be able to download some free recording software that he can use with it.
He only needs about 2 tracks...no more than 8.
What products should I recommend to him?

Hi people,

Thats the way i record guitar:

Or i put in line or Micing in amp, no matter, but its played in some takes.

I choose the best take and cut in a loop.

When i duplicate the loops, appears an little "pop or glitch" between them. How can i remove it?

Should i have to cut the audio file in exact frequency wave?
