How much gain for recording alt metal? or nu metal? I can't figure out the amount of gain is needed to record making it super heavy and also defined! any tips on how to get the cleanest but heaviest recordings?
Heavy and defined is moreso the bass tone, the kick drum and snare tones, and how the 3 instruments blend. Guitars by themselves dont do nearly as much.How much gain for recording alt metal? or nu metal?

you are a G thank you!!!The secret sauce for a heavy-as-f--k guitar tone is the bass guitar. You won't get there with just guitar alone, you gotta layer it with the right bass tone, and play it suuuuper tight. Some of the heaviest tones I've ever heard were just a single track L/R (no quads) layered on top of a single bass track.
This is what I said two posts upyou are a G thank you!!!
you are a G thank you!!! I realize its the bassIf you listen to some metal records' isolated guitar tracks, then you will find that they sound quite thin compared to the full mix.
Double or even quad tracking really makes the chunk happen
