I hate to hear about that. I don't think I'm going to deal with 8thstreet again!
I don't think the recording turned out too terrible. I played with the eq and whatnot a little, which helped out some. I still can't capture the sound that I hear in the room, even putting my ear close to where the mic is (ouch!) it still doesn't sound right. I'm going to hold off for a while from doing any mic recording's until I can get my room set up. So, until then, I'm going to try to work on my playing some. The Tascam came in real handy the other day. I was in my music room playing my acoustic, and came up with this really cool progression. So, I set the mic up and recorded it (acoustic sounds great in that room). Then on playback I got really inspired with some leadwork, and surprisingly, it turned out pretty good. It defanately needs some polishing and refining, but surprised myself with it. Good thing I had the Tascam going, or I probably wouldn't remember what I was playing.
Back to the song... What do you think could be done to make the clean to dirty transition sound better? To me it sound's like something is missing, especially when the clean drops out. Do the dirty guitar's sound too far away, or are they simply eq'd wrong?
