Diezel VH4 Recording in Garageband HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[jonl]

So I picked up a set of Heil Pro set 3 headphones and now listing to my recordings I can pick out a tone of crap in my recordings I dislike!
All I am trying to do is get the tone that is natural in my room, but when I listen to my recordings they don't sound good at all.
Yeah they sound ok blended with the tracks I have been recording with but sound horrible alone.

Anyone good with post EQing in garageband have any tips for me?

What is the issue with the guitar tracks? Do they sound muddy or dull? How did you record them? If you let me know what is bothering you about them I can suggest some possible remedies.

Most guitar recordings are done with a single mic up close to the grill cloth. The guitar sound is actually very different there than what you are hearing in the room, usually a bit more saturated. I learned a long time ago to not listen to the room and listen to the studio monitors, and move the mic accordingly.

I am using,
Apogee One, Heil PR30, Diezel VH4, Mesa 4x12 Vintage 30s
I am having a hard time with post EQ, I have a hard time finding a good spot in the highs, it sounds nasally no matter the spot I mic the speaker.
Its very hard for me to fix this problem in Garage band.

I set up the mic using a set of Heil Proset 3 headphones, I also use studio monitors.

Nasal sound issues is something quite uncommon with the Pr-30. I would try the following:

- Reduce the gain in the amp. Usually more gain means more 800-1.2 kHz (where the nasal sound resides)
- Close mic the cab and try to place the mic off axis and prefer something close to the center of your speaker. Careful with excess fizz here.
- In your DAW cut around the above mentioned frequencies with a moderate Q

Hope it helps!

Mic placement makes sense to me, 800-1.2khz is where the nasal sound resides? So how would I cut that out in garageband?
Thanks!
