Interesting, do you just bypass the amps and just use line6's comp or what?

That is a good suggestion, I have noticed that if you roll back the distortion to much, it sounds overly rolled off, if you put the distortion any higher then it sounds harsh, like you said. I think that a comp would definitely help. I will have to give that a shot and see what I can come up...

Yeah, I am thinking that it is hard to make something fake sound real. I have fake drums, fake guitar amps, and fake bass amps, but that is what I am limited to in my home studio, once I wanna record a serious demo that isn't just for fun for my band, I plan on mic'ing my 5150 cab, and mic'ing...

Yeah, that is how I did it. I used guitar pro, export as midi track. Then import midi into sonar. Worked like a charm, I do wonder how you can export only the drum tracks though. It said to mute the other channels, but it still includes them when I export the midi.

here is where i am right now, i just got done recording this, sounds pretty tight through my monitors and laptop speakers. this should give you all an idea of what I am after, and what I need to correct in my eq'ing.

Yeah, I know the whole eq, I was just wanting some tips on my tone settings. I do quad track, maybe I should just double track and have a lead in the center? I noticed that things do tend to get pretty muddy when quad tracking. The only thing is there are alot of songs that we play that have...

I have a buddy that told me that you can import midi drum tracks from power tab or guitar pro into your daw to be triggered by your ez drummer or whatever. Does anyone know how to do this, I would love to figure this out if anyone knows how to do this, that would be awesome.

I am thinking that maybe I am just to much of a guitarist and I am equing my amp sim poorly? I normally run the gain at about 10 o'clock, bass at 1 o'clock, mids at 3 o'clock, and treble at about 1 o'clock, presence at about 1 o'clock as well. I don't know, maybe I shouldn't be doing something...

I am using the poulin le456, which I think sounds great with impulse cabs. I should have been more specific, I was asking what you guys suggest for eqing metal guitars, my solo riffs are distorted also. I meant, that my guitars are a low distorted tone, alot of the progressive death metal that...

I am using alot of vst amp sims, and impulses. I am getting pretty decent results, they sound really good, about as close to a mic'd cab as I can get without my half stack being here. When I put it into a mix though, they have some overly harsh highs, but if I roll back the highs in the amp...

I run win7 64 bit, and i have the us800, no problems what so ever.

here is my newest attempt, after taking some advice from you guys Tell me what needs to be improved on?

I have a us800 running win7 64 bit, no problems what so ever. For 100 bucks, you can't go wrong, it has 6 xlr's!

Oh and did you ever work at spike'd audio? That is where my old band went to do our ep.

well, that is if you don't mind working with metalheads. Well, death metal heads lol.

Yeah, sucks, I had to get rid of alot of my toys, but I'm working my way back up there lol. I still have alot of buddies out there man, I will have to send them up your way if any of them need some recording done.

Divorce man, I was out there with my ex wife who was an army girl at fort carson. Got divorced and moved back to Illinois. Yeah, we played all over colorado. What studio do you work at?

Denver huh? That's cool man, I just moved back to Illinois from Colorado Springs. I played in a denver band though for over a year, Mouthful of Buckshot. I don't know if you had heard of us or not but yeah lol.

Yeah, I will say that you guys here on the forum have taught me more here than anything else I have read. I have been playing with recordings for about four years now, only the last year have I been real serious about it. I joined the forum about 4-5 months ago, and I learned more in that time...

I will also add, that not once has someone actually said to pluck the shit out of your strings. That could very well be a good tip for me that I never considered. I guess what it is, is that it is harder for me to really "get into it" when I am sitting at a computer with my guitar in my hands...
