i have just started getting into recording and i really enjoy it all, only problem is that i cant get anything good sounding to come out !! i use a alesis multimix 8usb and connect a mic to that, put the mic up to the amp and conect my guitar to the amp. i then record with cubase sx3 and it sounds really rubbish. i get this horible echoy sound folowing each note played and it all sounds...i dno how to describe it but horrible !! does anyone have any tips on what i can do

thanks

Okay okay, sounds like there are a few things to be addressed here...
First, what kind of microphone is it? Are you certain you arent getting any feeback from the monitors, sometimes if you record and your monitors are within earshot of your microphone you'll get crap. Make sure the mic you are using can handle the SPLs and Dbs that your amp is projecting and that it is catered to your objective. Next make sure that you arent overdriving any of your inputs on the board or in cubase and once again, the mic itself. If your source levels are too high, they will sound like filth. Turn down your gain and drop the faders a bit and listen again. If the sound persists, make sure your playback settings are correct in Cubase and that your monitors are in phase. But please describe your setup a lil better and we might be able to lend a hand.
