VOLUME (is low) :>

Maybe a noisegate? Any suggestions on a good reaper noisegate?

Distortion cannot be EQed out.

The tone of your tracks seem decent. Input volume is tough to judge when listened to a mixed track, but if you are in need of a louder end result a limiter on your master bus at mixdown will help get your mix louder.

Not sure what you mean by "dirty power", but if your gear is actually working that is a good sign.

Are you using the computer's built-in sound card? That may be somewhat problematic. If this is the case have you considered an external audiop interface?

Recording is a closet is not a good idea; no matter how much "padding" you put in it your tracks will almost always suffer from unnatural accumulation in the low frequencies. Your guitar does seem to have a certain "woofiness" to it.

All that being said, after a quick casual listen the tracks don't sound half bad at all. Maybe a bit more practice mixing, specifically with regard to use of compression and limiting may get you closer to your goal.

Thanks man appreciate it: I call it dirty power because i have no power conditioner.
I havent worked with compression or limiting at all Maybe i should do some research there

A friend of mine recently gave me a nicer sound card that im using- thought i forget what it is
