hey guys im pretty much new at recording. My setup up so far is a presonus firebox / cubase sx3.
My band and i ( Metal ) are planning on recording a demo and need a little help getting started.
What equipment/mic should i get to get a nice metal sound for guitar?
 
A great sounding guitar amp. That's where most people go wrong.

truth.


spend the majority of cash on hand on a nice tube amp.

then turn your gain down and turn your mids up.

then go buy one of these

and place it where the yellow would be on your speaker, a few inches away. move it closer and further away from the speaker to vary the sound. if it is too brittle, move the mic towards the edge of the speaker, and if it is too muffled, moved it closer to the dustcap.
