Hey
Doing my guitarparts works best if I'm alone in my room, I've discovered. The problem is, I can't bring also a guitar amp there too. I only want to record clean & distortion guitars, so I decided to do the following:
Clean: Just go direct (Tascam 244 Portastudio), Input level at Line (low).
Dist: same, but a input level at Mic (full open)
Now because of the overload, I HAVE got a (F_cked up) Distortion sound, but it sounds just good enough.
But my question is: does this harm my equipment? I know that you're doing almost the same with a quitar amp, but aren't there some protection-things in too?
Normally if I see a red overload-indicator I think that's not good for the sound, but also not good for the equipment. Is that true?
Thanks,
Maarten.
