@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.

@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.

so do you not even do reduction eq on the guitars? surely the mixes just
sound really inprecise?

– 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.
