Recorded Heavily Distorted Guitar
Hey folks, I just wanted to let y'all know that i recorded my guitar... heavily distorted and it sounds really good.
I actually just went straight from my Digitech RP300 into my mixing board, then into the soundcard. It has stereo effects so I just connected the left and right output and hardpanned them. Mind you I did use an amp modeller effect. I modelled a Vintage 2 x 12 (which is what I have by the way) and it sound very very close to the sound coming from my amp. I think really the only thing it needs is a little bit of reverb/ambience and it's good to go. Possibly a mic model (antares mic modeller) would do well, but we'll see. Anyways, it's the cleanest best sounding recording I've gotten. Just thought I would share.

Re: Recorded Heavily Distorted Guitar
bastard... ive been fuckin with my new amp for a week now cant get good sound. i had a 10 watt crate and i understood it was trash. so i bought a 500 dollar marshall 50 watt amp. im using a shure sm58 into a MX1604A behringer mixer into my sound blaster. is it just a matter of mic placement now?

Oops. Replied to your original post before I saw this one. Good to hear you're happy with your results. Don't give up micing, though. You can find great sounds with condenser mics.

Yeah... I am thinking I am going to run another take micing with my condenser... I do like the amp sound much better than going straight in. I'm gonna experiment with it today... I might use a condenser and a dynamic and see how that goes... hard-panned to each side so that I can really hear the difference and go from there.

Outlaw,
I've actually gotten some pretty good recording with micing my amp... I use a condenser and put it about a foot away from the speaker cone straight out from the edge of the speaker... and angle it 45 degrees at the center. I usually mix this with a direct signal as well. Good luck. I know you can get good sound from that amp, I have recorded a friends band with one...

Try taking the wind screen off the sm58.
Fool around with mic placement. You should be able to find a sweet spot.

does the digitech have a 12ax7 tube pre in it? i had an rp6 a few years back that did and it sounded pretty good straight into the mixer, from what i'm getting you need a preamp or good mic's to get that heavy metal sound...
i managed to get very close yesterday using an old fender twin reverb miced with 2 m58's, the sound was tighter than a non preamp effects box straight in the mixer, but i had to tweak the track on the bottom end and top just a bit with a plugin eq/maxamizer... i believe studio guitar tracks are eq or sonicly tweaks pretty much for CD sales, the bottom end is lost in most live gig/songs from what i heard...

The first thing that might help, which i got this from people off of forums is.....
eq the recorded guitar cut 7khz and cut around 200-350 hz then i like to boost around 4khz and boost a little of around 800 what ever sounds good. i do it a little differntly everytime i eq a guitar to make it sound good. second Reverb should be illegal to use on guitars also if you do use reverb u dont wanna record with it. u wanna record it dry then add a reverb plugin...

Sounds like the guy knows what he's talkin' about.Unfortunatly, I don't.He should drop the comedy routine so the reader can acually learn something and stop rippin' on the 'hack' musicians putting money in his pocket.

True, but I still got quite a bit from it. New things to try out next time, at least.

Honestly? Yes, Place the Behringer in the trash can and replace the Blaster card. Unless you have a decent mic pre for that sm58 into the mixer, the Behringer pre's will be counter-productive to mic placement. If that's not possible, just live with the consequences of your purchases and make good songs. I have an Audiophile 24/96 card in my PC and It trashes my guitar tone everytime I think about trying to track to the PC. I track to 1/2 inch and its fine...go figure? Cheap Pre's and Cheap converters make things pretty frustrating. Write good songs and make no excuses about the gear. SoMm

tube pre's make a lot more difference than most people give them credit for. Everyone slams the hybrid models, saying "but you need the tube power amp section", but man, I'd take a some of those hybrids over a standard solidstate anyday.
