Im recording my guitar with an amp -> mic -> mixer method. Mic is an sm57. Problem right now is when i record(distortion guitar mainly), the low E string spikes a lot, especially when i do heavy chugging. When this happens, I'll have to manually compress the mix, which usually ends up having undesireable qualities which i do not want.
Is it normal for the low E string to spike during recording? If so, am i doing the compression wrong?
