Audio recording interface, professional guitar sound?
This may be somewhat of an embarrassing question to ask, but i recently purchased an M-Audio Profire 610 audio interface so i could get my bedroom recording studio going. It's going into an iMac. I did not think ahead as far as how i'd get a studio quality tone with my guitar. After using garageband's studio Cubase Usb guitar effects i decided to not use them because they sound cheesy and "fake." I hooked up the only pedal i know pumps out a lot of distortion , which is my DOD death metal stomp box. However, its too much distortion and gets the same quality recording sound as a cheesy 1/4 to usb cable i have that i bought for 40 bucks(lightsnake to be exact) The interface i have is studio quality, but i want to know how to get studio quality guitar sound, can someone please help me, do i need guitar rig 3? amplitube metal? (im a metal guitarist) do i need software altogether? what do i need to plug these into? protools? cubase? 10 points to the musician that understands my question!
