Due to my lack of $$$, I don't have the guitar or amp collection that I'd like for my production purposes. I have a PRS Single Cut and I have a couple of amp emulators/amp sims. This is what I use for 99% of my guitar work.
I go through a DI to my Rosetta 800 which connects ADAT to my 003. Actually, that doesn't matter because no matter what signal chain I record guitars through the result is still the same. Super squashed sounding guitars. No dynamics at all.
My friend, however, has a very similar setup that I have. The only difference is, really, the guitar (and guitar player). He uses a Gibson Les Paul with Seymour Duncan pick ups. But his guitar plug ins are limited to the default Pro Tools Sans Amp. His guitars are SOOOO dynamically beatiful its crazy. The tone sucks majorly as does his overall mixes, but his guitars are punchy as ****.
Is it my PRS, are PRS guitars not really desirable for hardcore/metal? I don't know what to do and I've tried alot of things. I even used the UNcompressor setting on the Waves C4 lol
Noob engineer needs help!!
