5 Recording Mistakes Killing Your Guitar Tone
You’ve got the riffs, the gear, and the passion… but when you hit record, your guitar tone somehow sounds flat, harsh, or lifeless.
It’s one of the most frustrating parts of recording at home — and it’s not your amp’s fault.
In this week’s episode of Riff to Radio, I’m breaking down 5 simple recording mistakes that are killing your guitar tone and showing you exactly how to fix them.
The main topics I cover include:
- Why old strings make your recordings sound dead
- The tuning habit every pro guitarist swears by
- How to eliminate the noise and mud from your takes
- Why too much gain is destroying your tone
- The performance trick that separates pros from beginners
These are the same fundamentals I use when working with metal bands in my studio to get tight, aggressive, pro-level tones that actually cut through a mix.
If you’ve ever wondered why your recorded guitars don’t sound as big as the pros, this episode will show you why — and how to fix it today.
