Re: A Little 80's Metal For Ya'll
Thanks man. Good old fun party music is great sometimes. I'm thinking about doing another from my early college days....circa 1886 I believe, but we'll see.
Here's a version with the guitars brought up in the mix a bit (around 2db total). See if it's enough or too much. After you listen to something so many times its hard to hear the subtle differences.

Nice playing, but to be honest it really does sound like a GT-6 and that's not a good thing.
Really really digital sounding :\
Is this you're only recording option for now?

Yes. I also have a Vox Modeling amp, but I haven't dialed in the tones as well on that yet. Once I'm working again I'll likely get one of the 3-5 watt tube heads that are on the market now and use that through my Marshall 4x12, but for now the GT-6 is my only option. :19:

Re: A Little 80's Metal For Ya'll
Speaker breakup is one of the key elements to a great mic'd up sound,which explains why master volume amps can still sound great mic'd up, because even though the power amp is extremely clean, the speakers are being pushed properly).
I own a 120 watt head, and I tend to crank the master up to about 3-4 to get those speakers moving.
3-5 watts probably wont be effective at getting that speaker breakup that gives that nicely saturated sound that helps guitar tones fit in the mix and sound much more pleasant.
I'd suggest that once you get some money coming in, perhaps look into a better computer (even if you can't afford something new, a 1-2 year old computer will be much better than what you use now) and you could score a used POD X3, that will work as an audio interface on a USB 2.0 equipped computer.
It can be used to record DI tracks, so you can use whatever software amp modeling you like.
A great setup for the hobbyist recording man that isn't too expensive, me thinks and much better sounds than what you'll currently get, with zero of the volume issue of having to mic up cabs

Re: A Little 80's Metal For Ya'll
I've actually got a new (well, Christmas last year) Gateway Core 2 Duo 2.2ghz, 4gb SSD3 ram, 500gb HD, 4xUSB2.0 and firewire. The sound card is decent and is certainly better than my last 10 year old Dell. I would like to have a better sound card and a decent DI box or something similar. I have an SM57 to mike my cab with, and I'd likely put at least one greenback in the cab with such a low wattage amp head and mike that to see if it will work better.
Anything louder than that will not be tolerated where I live. My neighbor downstairs is the condo association presidents son, and the president lives one condo over from me on the same level. No loud rocking until I manage to get out of here. Not a bad place to live really....just not guitar or loud music friendly!
I'll have to live with what I have for now, but thanks for the suggestions. Once I'm back on my feet and have secured a proper amp again I will be looking for better recording options....although for what I do I need to keep it budget friendly.
Thanks again for the suggestions, I really appreciate the input.
