Thanks for the tip! I re-recorded again with differnt effects and think it sounds better. Comments are welcome! http://learnrecord.host56.com/song1.mp3

SOunds good. How did you record the guitars and drums?

I just started messing around with recording a few days ago. Very new, no idea what im doing. I play metal and am trying to record some of my songs. I quickly put together a quick 30 secondish demo of how my sound is. I dont really like what im hearing and would really appreciate comments and...

Overall i like the sound. It is the kind of sound i am going for. It is missing that "clarity" though. I like the tone but it doesnt sound clear and crisp. Is that something i can EQ better? Or is the tone just bad?

Frustrated but cant seem to give up. Feels like im obsessed! I tried something completly different now. I used VST guitar sims. Plugged in to the computer completly clean and used the sim effects. I think it sounds better, but what do i know. What do you guys think? Is there any progress in...

The headphone of the digitech is 1/4 as well. But i corrected myself and went to the mono output now. been doing a lot of reading lately and am at wits end. Iv heard some say micing is aboslutly required. Others say not necesarily. Some say use a vst like guitar rig. Some say dont. too...

Been doing some reading and almost everyone says go micing vs. direct in. Is that the only way im going to get a decent enough sound? If so, will it work with my amps? I have 2 very low end amps and the distortion im probably still going to have to use my digitech. Will that make any differnce...

Thank you for the responses. Much appreciated! I checked my outputs and i was going going into the lexicon via the headphone on the digitech, i swithced to the mono guitar output and sound changed a bit. Messed around this morning a bit and i think i hear an improvement? lol still sounds bad...

Do i just have a really bad guitar tone or is it something i need to mix correctly? The bass was just through a bass effect through my guitar, so just did it to try it out. Drums need to figure out. THis was just done as a test to see if i can get my guitar down. Heres another test i did. sounds...

Sorry for this empty post.

Decided i wanted to give a shot at trying to record my music. hoping to learn a lot here. wish me luck!

I think its very useful to know the modes. Gives you a sense of tonality and know what to expect when to play what.

Congrats! that looks great.

That is awesome.

Apparantly cant post links yet as not upto 10 posts. Darn.

This is harder than i thought it would be:(. So today was my first try at this. I just did random riff as a sample and tried to see how well i could....sounded like crap:(. I am pretty embarrased to post and ask for help, but figured thats the only way i can learn. I know pretty bad. So what i...

Thank you all for helping. I will start messing around this weekend. Its good to know to lower the distortion level while recording and later layer it. It's going to sound off/weird while recording im sure and i think i need to get used to it as it will sound fuller after layering. One...

No. Looking for advice on how I can use what I have. Isn't that what home recordin is?

Hi, I have decided that i want to try to learn how to record at home. Mostly for creating my own demos/etc. Im not really sure where to start though and i live in an apartment which brings its own set of challenges. I play metal music and would like to record my guitars and drums through...
