Hello all, first post, hope this is the right place. I'm absolutely not a tech person. Wanting to mic my guitar, for gypsy jazz rhythm practice. I have a MXL 603S, and presonus BlueTube DC. Even with gain cranked on both the pre-amp, and program (Cakewalk Music Creator), I am getting very little sound. Not to mention the crappy sound, with this much gain. I've played around with different positions (bridge/moustache, 12th fret, etc.), but none make much difference. And phantom power is on. Curiously, the setup picks up lead playing quite well - bright and nice. For some reason, chord playing sounds "far away," and really, too quiet to be much use.
Is this just a case of poor equipment? Or is there something obvious I'm missing?
Very much appreciated,
Paul
