Hi. I'm not very experienced yet but I recently posted a related thread. I also do the direct recording method. My style is doom metal, I'm always searching for a thick and crunchy sound with the minimal high-end frequencies necessary. My fisrt recordings weren't bad, in fact they surpassed...

Thanks a lot for sharing dude. :)

Hi. I also do direct recording, for reasons different than yours, and I really don't know that much about all those EQs you mentioned, but maybe you should look at my recent thread on which I had similar issues: https://homerecording.com/bbs/showthread.php?t=295402 My recent sound still feels...

Hello and thanks for answering me. I don't know where guitar center is, but it definately isn't in Portugal. Anyway, I'm still in the songwriting process, I'm just trying to learn this stuff in advance, also because I record my ideas as they appear, and since the tone I get drives my...

You know, I was thinking about what you said about the EQs on the Demonizer and I was more persistent than the last time, so after some endless meandering with its many EQs, I've actually obtained a sound which isn't perfect but at least it's good enough for now. I've also double-recorded like...

Hi and thanks for answering me. That is true, but believe me, I've tried and tried the EQs on the Demonizer. Even though it has a lot of EQ it's a distortion pedal and, like any distortion pedal, it doesn't give your sound the body an amp does. When I was using the Metal Muff I had most of my...

Thanks for answering. Ok, i'm going to take your advice into practice. :) Anyway, I wasn't at all thiking on releasing anything without being played the best as possible, but I must confess I wasn't planing on doubling 2 guitars, mainly because I had tried it and the hi notes sounded like a...

My first electric guitar recordings with no interface (but with an audio production software) and no amp (DI) sounded a lot better than what I had hoped for, which led me to think I could reach an actually good recording quality with just a bit more gear (the firewire interface for example), but...

Hi. As I understand it, the interface is, in a very basic way, an external sound card with preamps and inputs and outputs, which allows you to obtain very low latency times when monitoring what you're playing/recording, for one or several instruments at a time, and also control the signal level...

Thanks for answering. Yes, I already use 0.11 strings, I may go up to 0.12, but that's also something I want to be careful about, because fatter strings also seem to vibrate less and they seem to cause more ''muddyness''. The sound becomes less clear and dies faster. But trying with strings is...

Thanks for answering. That's a curious thing you said about Nirvana. I had no idea. I'm still considering double tracking my guitars. But because I'm planing on record different melodies on up to 4 guitars, and since I'm not that much of a tight player, I must try that carefully. Even with...

Ok, what do you think about these for the mixers: http://www.behringer.com/EN/Products/502.aspx http://www.behringer.com/EN/Products/802.aspx http://www.samsontech.com/products/productpage.cfm?prodID=1730 http://www.tapcoworld.com/products/mixseries/index.html...

Thanks for answring, I will check that. By the way, is there any kind of pre-amp made for direct recording that allows you to control your sound like an amp, adding tone, treble, etc? Samples here: http://soundcloud.com/descalabro/tracks

Yes, that's it, although not that bad, hehe. It just lacks some body, I don't want them to get muddy though. Samples here: http://soundcloud.com/descalabro/tracks

Thanks for answering and advice. My samples: http://soundcloud.com/descalabro/tracks

Thanks for answering. I already use 2 guitars, and I'm considering on using 3 most of the time and also 4 sometimes, because I like a lot of melodic layers. So, that would be too much to double record, and also I'm not that tight on my playing. Samples at http://soundcloud.com/descalabro/tracks

Thanks for answering Well, the Demonizer is a Valve(tube - same thing?) pre amp.

Maybe I'm being an idiot, but I'm trying my best to get an analog sound even with pedals. That's why I bought a tube pedal. I would really like to take advantage of it, because the pedal has a very nice sound. If it were for Death Metal it would be fine, but I'm recording Doom Metal, I need a...

Well, you're right about the bass part, I didn't record a bass yet because I need a 5 string and I'm lefthanded, but I'll work it out. As for the mix I have so far, it has drums (VST) and keyboards (VST) in some parts. However, I'm comparing my guitar tracks to the ones I had before. They sound...

Hello. I do direct recording, I live at an apartment and I can't afford a good tube amp anyway, so I have chosen this method for my recordings. I used to record with a EH Metal Muff pedal and a Vox AC 30 Amplug. The Vox AC 30 provided a warm and thick tone and the Metal Muff provided the...
