Hi guys

ive tried recording through my sound card
emu1212m

but it doesnt sound right at all
ive tried using 2 different distortion sources
they both sound the same like this



is there anyway i can solve this problem?

guitar -> tonebone hot british stomp box/ line out from peavey xxx amp -> DI box -> sound card direct

am i doing something wrong?

i tried recording drum tracks through a zoom pedal direct
it sounded nice and clear

it just that distortion sounds like a fuzz box with lots of clipping.

do i need a preamp or anything?


please tell me how should i solve this problem.
 
I can't make out what the hell is going on in there. I can barely hear it.

Have you tried micing your amp instead of using the line-out?
 
Try running the Guitar>Tonebone>soundcard input and see if it sounds any better.
 
it sounds the same
somehow the recording sound like it clips badly

with distortion pedals before sound card direct

and the recording level is very low
so it sounds soft
