I'm using an m-audio firewire solo, which i believe is something like 24/96khz quality. not the best but far from the worst. should be able to produce a decent sound with the right tweaking. I have an excellent fender that cost over 1000$. Sounds great through any amp.
I cannot, for the life of me, get a truly satisfying sound through logic express. I've tried mic-ing my amp, plugging my amp into the interface, and of course just plugging the guitar into the firewire. If I play with the EQ and other sound options in Logic, I can make it better, but still not satisfying. It still sounds - processsed I guess is the word. A very flat guitar sound without much life. Anyone have any recipes with logic effect settings that sound very good? Or advice for getting a better sound? |

How loud are you recording your amp is pretty important as well. You really want to have it CRANKED (I mean stick it in a closet stuffed with pillows & close mic it if you have to) to get that really present sound. The preamp will help as well. I am using a Mackie Onyx 1220 (has 4 nice pres) and am quite happy when I close mic a loud amp.
