Sounds good! Im definitely a lot heavier. I tried playing around with the EQ some more and yet I just can't seem to figure out what I'm doing haha. Applying the HP at 60Hz though did help a bit but its still too muddy. It's not bad until the rhythm track kicks in and then its just seems like there's too much going on although the part itself is simple as to not drown out the lead. It still just lacks overall clarity.

As of right now I'm using a set of Altec Lansing desktop speakers and taking it out to my car after I feel fairly confident. I'm ordering a set of JBL monitors as well when taxmas arrives. Awesome I will give it a shot and let you know how it turns out, thanks!

The battery and strings was over a year old. I play a Jackson DXMG tuned to drop B (B F# B E G# C#) Ill try adjusting the HPF to around 400 and go from there. I dont think it's the guitar and if it is I guess I'll find out when I get my new one but I really think there's something I'm missing before the signal hits my computer because I've heard guitars sound amazing without being edited period but that was a $3200 juggernaut guitar being ran through an axe fx2 and I'm just not quite sure if its my pod xt because I've had it for awhile and I know its probably archaic compared to some of the newer ones. maybe its just the quality of my signal?

Ok so I am new to home recording and just thought it was time to give it a shot. I'm running audacity for my DAW and a pod xt for my guitars. I cant quite seem to find the clarity I'm looking for they just seem to be a little too muddy. I have attempted to tweak some effects and have found a fairly decent sound but not quite the quality I'm looking for.Dual tracked lead, removing as much gain as possible without losing my tone, running a Low/High pass filters at 7500/250 compressed with a 7:1, .15s attack and .8s release and haven't had much luck tweaking the EQ. Honestly it sounds better without the EQ. I have multiple versions and recently got the best sound after changing my strings and battery. I play metalcore I guess but plan on switching it up with some djenty stuff when I order my 7 string. I also have a scarlett 2i2 preamp that I am going to be ordering as well here soon. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated trying to get demo quality at least but would love to get it sounding even better. I will be able to email you a copy, as it's too large to upload, of the best I've been able to come up with so far if you'd be willing to help me out! Thanks a bunch!
