Hey everyone, this is my first post, and I am a beginner, so please bare with me...
I want to record a guitar that's going to be in a mix with drums, bass, and piano. I want it to have that distorted, punky sound which is best heard in Something Corporate's album Leaving Through the Window. Right now, when I record, it sounds very thin. I own a Digitech rp2000, which is a multieffectspedal/amp modeler. However, i just use it as a distortion pedal.
I record by plugging the guitar into the pedal, which then goes to my amp (Behringer 2x12). I mic the amp with an MXLv67g condenser (not the best for micing an amp, but it's all i got) which goes through an ART Tube MP OPL Preamp, which then goes to a Presonus COMP16 Compressor, which then goes through an M AUDIO Duo which goes into my laptop. (for an example of the guitar sound, visit http://www.purevolume.com/YouHaveFive/music2 and listen to Each Day, Visible. There are a lot of things wrong with this mix, but lets just focus on guitar for now
I'm thinking i may need to adjust the actual tonal qualities of my amp, but I have no idea where to start. Also, I want to work with the equipment I have (I also own a Studio Projects B1 condenser) Any advice would be appreciated, again I am a beginner, so please don't hassle me about the recording too much
