    Goshdammitsomuch... >:(

    Sorry about the 404, turns out the file was still uploading to the dropbox file server. It should be available now. "That sound like a direct tone or something, what are you using. Is there even an impulse or cabsim on it? Also got a 404 on the mix." Yes, my setup is TH1 with the fredman...

    Goshdammitsomuch... >:(

    Hi guys, I've been working on this sample for a while now and I'm rather unsatisfied with the guitar (and drum) tone I'm getting. I'd appreciate any suggestions or help improving it. :D I don't have studio monitors so I'm using my Logitech Z-5500 speakers (can't afford monitors right now). As...

    No Overdosed, I haven't tried that as of yet. Although I will be doing so tomorrow. I'm running the stock EMGs out of an Ibanez RG2228. I've recorded an additional sample for direct comparison: My Tone Reference Tone Suggestions? Erk... :erk:

    Direct Box required for Direct to computer Guitar Recording?

    Hello all, :) Be warned that I wouldn't be surprised if my questions may annoy some of the more experienced users here. :lol: The nature of my problem is that my guitar input tone directly plugged into my PreSonus Firestudio is dull and lacks brilliance. Some of you in a previous thread...

    Six weeks worth of tone searching and no luck...

    It is rather terrible, I agree. I am running coaxial cable output from my PreSonus directly into a Logitech Z550 series speaker set up. A bad monitoring solution, I'm aware, unfortunately I cannot afford anything more at this time. Is there a sufficient monitoring solution you recommend for...

    Thank you very much for your offer pipaaguapique. :) I assume you need a high-quality file of a DI input sample from my guitar to properly help prepare a preset? I will be uploading that in a short while... It's rather difficult to describe what I'm looking for, of course. I'd be happy if I...

    I had assumed that might be a good idea. Something else I attempted was connecting my AMP FX-OUT (Mesa Boogie Rectifier 50) to the Firestudio into an Impulse, but the tone I'm getting from that method is exceedingly boomy and overbearing. I had assumed this would be the best way to accuratly...

    Thank you abt, I appreciate the welcome. :) I hope to stick around and one day contribute knowledge of my own to the newbies! :lol: Essentially, I'm not really having success with either situation. The tone is rather dead and lifeless on it's own, and needless to say once I play along to a...

    Hello everyone, :) I'm new to these forums and only started attempting to work with DI recording within the past few months. I'm eager to create demo samples of my guitar ideas in hopes of attractking a band, but despite working 5+ hours a day attempting to create a solid tone from my guitar...
