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?

QUOTE (Panopticon @ Jun 12 2004, 08:54) Well, I've been around all the modeling stuff (A LOT...I've used everything from POD XT to Amplitube to Amp Farm, and everything in between). Hi Panopticon Have you tried the Sans Amp? and if so I wondered what uou thought of it compared to the Pod et al. Thanks Rich peace MacIDOL.com |
