hi everyone,
just back from a couple of drum recording sessions with triggers, now it's time for the bass and guitar, some kind of metal, melodic death, slayerish band...
i'll first list the rig;
marshall jcm2000
crate blue voodoo
crate gfx 212
marshall valvestate 100watts
boss gt6-effect processor
about 6 guitars i could use to record
m-audio delta 1010lt
behringer ub1202 mixer
4tracks tascam portastudio series
tried a couple of settings to record the guitar, with a shure 57, with a shure 57+ one or two akg (s300 something i think), with the marshall preamp and cab or boss gt-6 preamp and cab, crate amp... tried retracking 2 to 4 time every guitar... loud or not, the only thing i didn't try is the tascam built-in preamps.
the result`it sucks lama's ass.
i just can't get a decent sound out of the guitar amp. Even tried di dist with cab sim or di clean with amplitube and guitar rig, nothing good. i came to the conclusion that the delta 1010lt preamps sucks, just as the behringer mixer. I just can't afford paying 1000$ for an album, but still want to have some killer sound (this is why i used triggers on drum).
first question: should i try to use the tascam as a preamp or is it just another piece of sh**?
second: any way i could record the guitar with decent result with the setup i have?
third: If not, which preamp should i buy? (ill go used for something around 300$ CAN used)
fourth: would an external compressor help a lot or can i do it with a good cubase sx plugin (any suggestions are still welcomed!!)
i'm about sure that the problem is the preamp cuz i did a little demo for my band about 1 year ago, with no compressors, but the behringer hi gain preamp insted of the pieces of crap i have now. anyway, can anyone help the little man i am? would be a good action since i record for free at home to help those little kids doing a bit of money for their band
