Hi Jesse! Just saw this post and it seems like you have your answer, perhaps it’s a software output setting.

I’ve actually been having the opposite problem, where I record for a few hours and then realize my ears are ringing and I had my headphones too loud, i tend to crank my in-ears especially. Anyhow I just picked up this new device called the DB Check Pro by Sensaphonics, which calibrates to your headphone model and gives you a DB average and tells you how long it is safe to be exposed.

Pretty cool and I hope you are well!!!

Thanks so much Jesse!!! Great to hear from you!! I do hope to make a solo guitar vocal album at some point soon, I was pretty inspired by the recent Jason Isbell Foxes In The Snow album, such good performances and I love the sonics of it.

Not too much going on with processing on the track – only EQ is a high pass at 80hz on my preamp, then a little bit of the Audioscape ‘Opto’ comp, – on the ‘mid’ mic, and a little bit of de-esser too. Using the Seventh Heaven reverb, with high and low pass on the reverb send, like Dana mentioned in his recent reverb email!! I also used a little bit of Soothe and the Pro L2 when mastering.

I don’t know how you usually record electric guitar, but it’s something i’ve always struggled to capture in the perfect way..!

Cheers and hope all is well!!!

Thank so much, Dana!! I really appreciate the kind words!! I’m using a C12 replica made by Bill Bradley, love that mic – and then a Cascade fathead for the side. It seems to work for what I do and it’s pretty simple & quick to set up, which is a big plus for me! Cheers and thanks for taking the time to listen, hope all is well!!!

Awesome thread here! Thanks for the question, Nate and for the awesome answer, Dana! Going to check out the ADPTR plug – have always wondered about how to anticipate the way the streaming services (and socials) crunch the audio.
