I was running through the DI ports, which are ran through the mic preamps and probably the cause for more sizzle than I needed. I'm going through the line-in inputs now and it sounds much better, but there still seems to be more distortion than what I have dialed on the amplifier, however that...

I had a basswood RG 7-string with Evo/Air Norton combination, and I thought the Evo had way too much bass.

There's nothing clipping, and I've been plugging through the DI port on the 003 interface. I'm not sure where this extra distortion is coming from. There's more of it with IRs than in Amplitude, but it's still more gain than I need.

Thanks, this was definitely part of the problem. I knew there would be something simple that I overlooked. However, there still seems to be too much gain. I'm keeping the gain on the amplifier at 3/10, although when running through a cabinet I typically keep it at around 7/10. I'm not sure...

I'm running a MacBook Pro with ProTools LE 8 and a Digidesign 003. I've downloaded the demo version of Mellowmuse's IR1A convolution reverb plugin so that I could load the GuitarHacks impulses I found on this message board. I'm running a line out of the effects send from a solid state Ampeg...

This thread is great and I've read many pages of it, I was just curious if there was a more active and specialized website to browse through, besides reading conversations from the same handful of people that post here, other people might have different tastes or whatever. There's not too much...

I'm not a troll, just looking a larger community to talk about heavy death metal, instead of Dimmu Borgir and Children of Bodom.

Are there any other forums that have a better audience for slam/brutal and heavy death metal? This forum is kind of weak and there's too much pussy shit on here.

The industry standard and my personal preferred mic for death metal is a Shure SM57, which can also be used for your snare and toms.

I'm not deep into brutal/slam death metal, but I regularly listen to popular bands like Skinless, Dying Fetus, Devourment, Suffocation, etc. There's more out there that escape me right now. I might be starting a slam death band here shortly and could probably use some new bands for...

I found the X2N to be a bit muddy in basswood, and went with an Evolution instead, but Chuck's Stealth had an alder body so it may perform better there.

I use the nylon "XL Series" Jazz IIIs. I only wish they came in carbon fiber like the standard sized Jazz IIIs.
