I just can't get this little classical piece, that I played on my Fender Stratocaster in conjuction with my Axe FX II, to sound right. It has a certain jarring quality to it and there is some form of mild distortion going on, even though I set the virtual amp very, very clean. Here's the clip:
instaud.io/1ouw.mp3
It sounds almost like digital clipping, but there can't be any clipping, because this track was recorded at roughly -15dB peak. The track consists of only this one guitar and I need to get it somewhat loud, so all the details will be exposed and they do sound nasty. How should I fix the problems? Is this an EQ thing or do I need to delve deeper into plugins like the RX series by Izotope? Do I need to rerecord the whole track?
