What is the main reason of a poor sound ?

[TexRoadkill]

In all honesty if you want to sound anything like those bands you mentioned you will need to spend a lot of money and time. We're talking years and tens of thousands of dollars. Anyone who tells you otherwise is full of shit.

But if you want to improve the sound you have a soundcard and mic preamp would be a good start.

Not tens of thousand....hundreds of thousands is more like it. Those bands use great studios with great gear and acoustics, and most importantly, good producers and engineers. (And they don't use any MXL mics and Berringer preamps).

It's good to strive for the sound of your heroes, but with $100 worth of gear and no experience you're not going to get close. (I mean, would you fly an airplane without learning? How long would it take you to be a good pilot? How long did it take to be a good guitarist?)

Get a better soundcard, like an RME HDSP9632 Hammerfall Card, and make song demos. If you get a record deal, go in to a million-dollar studio with a golden-ear'd producer.

Ok there is a link to mp3 - 'entering'
One guitar is cut of from one moment becouse my grandfa arrived ^^. It`s just something like a demo. Guitars can be a little falsely.
Listen it. I want to make something like 'soundgarden' (if you know of course ;P). Help me plz.
preamp - '' '' - the same what mic ?

I like the guitar tone man. I reminds me of the group unsane. You got a band? Your song writing is good stuff. I am into the same music. Particularly Kyuss and Soundgarden. I could definately hear some cymbol wash behind those guitar riffs.

As far as recording prepare to spend a lot of time on learning. It didn't sound that bad. I think your on the right track. It sounds like you may be tracking a little hot on your guitar. If you had a conventional AD/DA converter, it will have a control panel to view your incoming levels. And you may can see the levels in your application software. You would want to keep your levels at -18db on your digital meters in your computer. Most of the time your analog mic pre is going to be around 0db. After it is recorded then you can blaze the guitar in mix if you like thus given you what is called "headroom".
