When it comes to this I think there is no right or wrong way to do it. IMO you should treat each song differently and set the appropriate tones and even use different instruments if its going to benefit the song itself. Having that in mind, changing settings on the amp sounds sounds OK. Each song is different and might require a different "formula" for it to sound good.
I understand that you want to keep the similar feel/sound throughout the EP and I guess you are going to accomplish that anyway if you use same "fingers", same studio (recording environment) + possibly have it all mastered by the same person keeping the same feel throughout. -------------------- For GMC support please email support (at) guitarmasterclass.net

Yeah I agree with Bogdan. Just record your songs like you want and leave the volume level/mixing/mastering stuff for the hired guy

... So is this okay to do in an album/EP? -Brandon Burch Short answer - yes. Longer answer - people use a variety of gutars, amps and amp settings etc when recording more than one track. Some change these mid track. The choice of what to use is a production decison and based on the individual composition and what it needs. Whether or not you need more distortion or not for a particular track - none of us can answer that as none of us have heard it or know what the production intends for it. Cohesion is something that is usually considered part of mastering. Here it's about ensuring that the entire work sounds like a cohesive entity if so desired. If it is desired it is often more about macro EQ etc rather than micro managing the settings on an indivdual amp. -------------------- Get your music professionally mastered by anl AES registered Mastering Engineer.
