Title: Metallic sounding palm mutes
Post by: Transcend on August 08, 2008, 04:54:46 PM

Ive only just noticed it recently when trying to record but palm mutes sound hollow and really metallic.

Does anybody have any idea at all what could be causing this?

Without hearing this is just speculation but the first thing which springs to my mind is EQ have you rolled off the bottom end on the recorder/DAW or on the amp? You will be amazed how much more bottom end you get and need to get a propper THUNK THUNK THUNK! you probably wouldn't notice it was missing on normal playing.

when I've recorded stuff like this your get really big peaks at (From memory so it may be wrong) 100hz and lower.

I was just about to make a clip of it and it seems to be gone :S

Maybe it was just my hearing over the past few days?
