Video 4 of 16 from macProVideo.com’s (The) Art of Audio Recording: Recording Guitars For more information visit: http://www.macprovideo.com/tutorial/recordin… Video Rating: 4 / 5
what we really need to know is how to EQ the amp for the best signal, like: bass 4, mid 7, hi 5, so we have a sound that the mic likes and can work with, and not too much of one or the other, is it true that a somewhat flat eq like the one above is a good start? or should we take all the bass out and work with the mids and highs??
– You have to use your ears for that one. I don’t because I mic separate speakers. I would keep in mind the 3:1 rule. Take the first mic and measure how far from the speaker it is then multiply it by three. If the distance is less than that, you might notice a phase issue even after you align the time of the tracks, especially with condenser mics. Hope this helps.
@jaagofficial No idea, but everyone recommends the Shure MS57 or something like that. Just use the amp you’ve got, unless it’s a piece of crap and/or you’re planning to get a new one. Just as example I’ve got a Marshall MG100DFX. As far as cabinets, it better be a pretty good one as you’ll be placing your mic in front of it! (and amp too as your axe will be plugged to it D:) so you can find a great sweet spot for mic placement. My amp is a combo so it’s cab is fixed to the head.
@cameraperson I found a pretty good tutorial a while ago that does this exact thing. It’s owner’s channel was something like fearedse. *checks* yeah, that’s him.

in any situation.?

March 13, 2015 at 10:53 amso do you not even do reduction eq on the guitars? surely the mixes just
sound really inprecise?
