I'm recording my bands EP(electronica Hardcore) we've got 5 songs going on the CD one of which is a light, slow song. I've recorded our 4 other heavier ones with no issues that I could tell with the guitar tone until last night.
Our guitarist was over and I recorded his tracks for our slow song(clean with a bit of crunch to build the outro at the end) it all sounded good until I'll listened to the playback.
I've experimenting with the mics I have to get the best guitar tone so currently I have 2 CAD CM217's on the cab(one straight on about 6 inches away, the second slightly angled still pointed at the center and 6 inches away) I also have an SM58 6 inches away, pointed at the cone and also slightly angled. And lastly I run an XLR out of the DI on my head.
I'm not using ALL these with the final recordig. just muting and soloing certain tracks to see which sounds best. When I recorded the heavier tracks the dual CAD's did the trick, had the tone that I wanted. But when I played the light tracks from last night, the CAD that was dead on center was very distorted. I didn't over power anything, nothing was peaking on my meters so I'm clueless as to why it sounds like this.
Any suggestions as how to fix it would really help(even if I have to re-record it with a different setup).
