*insert clever title here
after reading an article about recording distorted guitars(by Slipperman, I think. excellent read. look it up) I had an "I get it!" moment...
...and it ruined the 'magic' of recording for me, in a sense.
after spending a looooong time with setting levels and tones and mic placement last night, we finally got a single (scratch)guitar track recorded. the problem is, the guitars don't sound as smooth as they did coming out of the amp. I don't know how to describe it, but it's kinda like some of the edges are a little too jagged(if that makes sense).
any general advice for getting the guitar to sound 'creamy' again? I tried the 'parametric sweep' but my(untrained) ears/comprehension skills just don't cut it. maybe I just don't know what I'm looking for? if it were an option, I'd post a reference, but it's just not possible right now
p.s. we have crappy monitors, no room treatment, etc. basically a mic on an amp in a bedroom.
