Hey, I'm having a bit of trouble getting a good electric guitar (distortion) sound through my mics. I'm using 3 different mics, and I've tried all the different positions that all the guides give you. Yet something just sounds wrong with it. The mics are the Audix f5, Shure SM58, and an AT2050 condenser set to cardioid. I was hoping to just use the f5, but I threw in the others just to see what I could get. In these recordings, the f5 is sorta mid-edge on the cone, the SM58 is off-axis on the edge, and condenser is about 1.5 feet back. Each mic individually sounds pretty bad, and that's not as expected. See the pics for details on how I placed them. I provided the audio mixdown, all I did was pan in appropriately and turn some stuff down. I also provided all the tracks in case someone wanted to put it into a DAW or something.
So basically I'm asking why does this sound so bad and how can I fix it? Should I move a mic?
