I've been running into issues recording guitar direct to my late 2012 mac mini i5 dual core 2.5 GHz 16 GB DDR3 1600 MHz with Intel HD Graphics 4000 1536 MB. I alternate between direct into the mic input and using my Behringer UMC404HD. Guitars are passive single coils and humbuckers, no active electronics. No effect boxes being used. Sometimes a DI box is used.
It doesn't seem to matter what I do, it seems like the line between not loud enough and too loud is way finer than it should be. I play with a fairly light touch but I do like dynamics, in other words, accents in strokes to emphasize rhythm. Is that wrong? Should I not do that? Because I'm constantly getting farting noises whenever I seem to do more than look at the low E string. Does the problem exist between keyboard and chair? (or in this case mic input and chair?)
Fine, I can accept the idea that I have to limit my enthusiasm. But the results are so incredibly blah and boring. how the hell do people do this?
