"Quacky" bass on electric guitar
I don't like the tone I'm getting on my low e, especially when I strum it hard... for lack of a better term it sounds quacky, not a pure, low bass sound.
I'm using a Macbook air with GB, mics into audiobox usb..... I've tried using both dynamic and condensor mics of my little Gibson amp with es-125. The amp sounds great but the tone of recording not so much. Is it likely to be mic placement issue? Suggestions much appreciated. Last edited by robroy; 10-17-2014 at 01:53 AM. |

Thanks for your compliment! That take of one good planet was done with my acoustic and I'm not having a real issue with the acoustic.
I'm kind of a rookie with the es-125 though and I'm really enjoying the tone I'm getting with it through the ga-5 amp. It's just when recording the amp, the base sounds "funny", not representing what I hear out of the amp. Just not sure where the issue lies but I think it's with the usb processor or the mac sound card... does that make sense? I'll try to post a sample of it later on today. thanks again! |
