Im having a slight problem with the recording of my guitar, im tuned to A and coming through a bass head, 15 & 18, so as you can imagine the sound is really bassy. The problem is that what I can hear in the room is not what gets fully picked up in the recording, its missing out tons of sustain and kind of choking up in places and sounding blunt as if the mic cant take in all of the bass/volume
Mics are not linear, so they will always colour the sound. One solution is to use two or more mics in mixed techniques: some of them capturing the ambient, some of them close to the speaker, some in between...
...then you can balance them in the mix to get the sound as close to what it sounded live.
Even high-decibel microphones, used in close-mic'ing can saturade, so large-diaphragm at moderate distance may work better.

Computer geeks (Im almost one of them) call it "latency".
It doesnt have to do with volume. Its about CPU frecuency, available RAM memory and system health (software).
Hope that helps in the quest for the sacred rumble.
