So, I have been trying to take recordipng seriously a lot the last couple months. Long story short, ive been recording (or trying) to record some distorted electric guitars. Ive just been having problems with the guitars sounding cheap. Mics i've been using: Blue Spark, Shure SM57, MXL r144, sennhesier e609, among others. My interface is a focusrite saffire pro 40. I'm still recording into reaper. Long story short, I have been reading some online posts and some people have said that using a higher quality preamp will make a difference. Is that true? I am just not too sure about believing everything i read in an article. Hahaha
Also, i know this isnt why you are looking at this, but what kind of eq's, comps, Blah blah blah should i be running on this? As far as the tone i am going for, creed and alter nridge, metallica, ect. Thanks for your time.
