TGCD - Impressive?

The guitars a recorded throught the Demonizer direct - l love that pedal but I am brutal with the distortion (ie its up loud), maybe this is not such a good attitude.

I want to mic my amp up, not sure whether to just crank it up and go for it - they recommend not to, but hmm...??

Drums.. cheers for clearing that up for me, I use BFD if im honest - takes away the need to mic it all up in a nice room - and its unprocessed unlike ezdrummer so I can apply eq and compression after. I was concerned with the snare, I think im over effecting stuff too much.

cheers for the reply
