hey, i'm currently using a Shure SM57 to record my distorted guitars...but the problem is, especially when i theres a palm mute part, it tends to clip a lot. my recoridng levels are at or under -12, but after i bring the volume up by limiting, compressing, or simply jus moving faders up, it tends to clip like crazy. i'm recording with the sm57 right on the grille of a cabinet, right at the middle of the speaker......should i back it off a little? i also will be trying the SM57 close miking and a oktava mk012 about 2 feet back from the cabinet...hopefully this solves the problem...but for now, is there any way i can fix this?
