Updated My Mark V Clip (Metallica - Damage Inc)

[gibson5413]

I thought I would take a few minutes this morning and track the guitars without the clean boost. I added some high end from EQ. I like it better without the boost although both sound good to my ears. I'm still working on my mic placement. Sounds killer in the room but not quite there with the mics. I'll get it!

I'm not trying to capture the original tone but just dial in a strong heavy rhythm tone. I am using my EBMM Petrucci with passive pickups too.

Cool, sounds not bad! The playing is a bit spotty though :wink:

Out of curiosity, what's your recording setup like? What kinda mics, etc? You should get your son (you have a son, right? I didn't get the wrong person, did I? :shock to move the mic around while you play and listen and tell him when he hits a sweet spot. Or you can do it yourself, but it's a bit trickier.
