Hey, im recording a soild state amp, should i have to really crank it to get a good sound recording? Or is just a comfortable semi loud volume good?

Well, it depends on how you want it to sound in the mix. I take it you are mic'ing the amp? If so, have the volume at a level where the clarity is best (most amps lose clarity if they are too loud) and stereo mic the speakers (I'm assuming you have a mixer or 2 input soundcard). And then pan the mics hard left, hard right in the mix. A 1/2 to 3/4 volume should do the trick depending on what amp you have.

Big Volume does not = Big Sound In The Mix

And a high-quality solid-state amp does not have to be 'cranked' to sound 'cranked' either.

solid state sounds better lower, the lower you can keep it the better.

Not necessarily.

is that cranked or KRANKED!!!!!
