Hi there. I'm trying to figure out if there's any good secrets about how to make guitars sound big and hiss-free. Clean guitar seems to be cake, and I'm pleased with the tones I'm getting relative to drum and bass. However, distorted guitar is another beast. I'm going fairly light on the guitar tracks. Rhythm track right, rhythm track left. I record guitar into Presonus TubePre straight into interface and use Amplitube two. When the distorted guitars come in, there's just this airiness to them that I can't explain. I don't know if I should be eq'ing beyond Amplitube's EQ, compressing (i read that compression is usually unnecessary on distorted guitar), using high / low pass filters, etc.
Any pointers?
