I would recommend experimenting on your microphone placement. Use an SM57 if
you have one instead of the 4050. I don't think that 4050 is going to be
very complimentary to a guitar being played through a Marshall. Also, try
layering the same guitar part a few times to start.

Hey folks,

I'm having trouble getting a nice guitar sound ala RAGE AGAINST THE
MACHINE songs like
"Renegades of Funk" and "Bulls on Parade"

The project I'm working on needs hard guitar with minimal or NO harmony,
just doubled guitar/bass riffs....again, best well known example is Rage
against the machine.

Any tips to fattening up the sound?
I know this is a general question, but if there's something that
helps...ie types of compression & amount etc.

No matter what I do it sounds weak in comparison and I use some decent
mastering plugins as well

I'm using Cubase Audio 5, Behringer MX2442A mixer, AT4050 mic on a
Marshal amp with a few pedals.


P.S. DO NOT HIT REPLY, email me at:

thanks!
Anthony
