ok i know its a good idea to use a preamp for recording direct with guitar. this is a dumb question but im wondering if you should use it with a mic too. The reason i ask is because i am (for the time being) micing my amp sending that into my mixer and then mixer hooks to the pc, and im using free software just so i can record a little and get my ideas down since i dont have a good setup yet. Anyway when i record my amp with my guitar distorted it can often sound pretty crappy and im not sure why, and i think there are preamps in my mixer anyway... is this something i should fix with the sofware? like use a compressor or something? or what?

If i may i'd like to reccomend the POD 2.0. I use Line 6 equipment for goth live shows and for recording. I have a Vetta that I use onstage and love it, and I have a POD rack for home recording and as a backup in case anything should happen to the Vetta. Yeh, the POD is really that good. I have no fears about running straight inot it and into the board for live performance. I would probably do that more oftem in I waasn't concerned about the quality of our monitor system - (lol)
Check it out though - I think you'll be surprised! stratman |
