I'm in a power trio blues band along the lines of Hendrix and Stevie Ray Vaughn. We are trying to do our own album mostly in my home studio. I am using Cakewalk, a MIDIMan 2044 (20 bit), and Audio Buddy for my Mic Pre's, and SM57 for a mic for recording my guitar tracks. The guitar distortion sounds so chessy and harsh when it's played back it's ridiculous. I know I'm not clipping the input, and I can't figure where the change to the audio is coming from. I know my card is not 24 bit but should that make a huge difference? I've been listening to some really well produced albums, especially the Kenny Wayne Shepherd stuff, and the distortion seems so smooth. Is this because they are running through high end analog compressors? Could I fix this by getting an expensive Joe Meek Compressor or mic pre? Would Cubase VST32's TrueTape help? HELP!!!!!
FYI: I'm recording a Fender Twin Amp and I've tried going in through the XLR Output as well. No change.
