Aug 7, 2010 · I do both and add a clean DI as well. Most times I record 4-5 guitar tracks simultaneously - mic'ed amp, DI wet signal, DI dry signal, and some sub outs from different parts of my chain. This gives me a lot to work with when I'm mixing. The clean DI is very useful for editing to see transients and also, I can use it to reamp if necesary.

May 13, 2014 · However, sometimes I want big bass on the guitars so often I'll leave the cab on the ground and mic the top speakers. The amp goes as loud as it needs to to reach the proper breakup and for the room size. I like the amp to reach a point in level where the cabinet and the speakers are influencing the tone of the guitar.

Feb 28, 2019 · Use a DI and plug the guitar into that. Take the XLR (low-Z) output to the Focusrite, and the Thru 1/4" to the amp, which you mic. Assign the appropriate inputs in your DAW to the two signals (of course). Then you can do what you want with the straight/dry guitar signal - use amp/fx sims, pan, eq, reamp, whatever.

Apr 14, 2006 · dynamic mic into my computer's soundcard into "Audacity" freeware. In that application I use "plug-in" editors to adjust the sound. The ones I use are "normalize," which places the signal at an optimal level, doing much of what a pre-amp does; "equalize," removing unwanted excesses like fingernail squeek; and "reverb" just a touch to relax things.

Sep 9, 2010 · Piano, played in the mid range ran through your amp and then miced might sound quite nice if you keep down the distortion. Hammond B3 organ mode on a keyboard played on a mic'd guitar amp can sound wild (Think smoke on the water). Bands in the past have used guitar amps as a poor man's PA for vocals. Try using both the line out and micing the ...

Jun 6, 2009 · I have two recording techniques. One is an M-Box...with Pro Tools. The other is a Marantz PMD661, portable digital recorder. Both of those provide 48V phantom power. If I record using a Neumann KMS 105, or TLM 103, or any other condenser mic, will I benefit from a mic pre-amp? I know that...

Nov 6, 2023 · Regarding mic'ing an amp in a small room with poor acoustics - a great way to deal with this is to get a couple of short mic stands to point the mics where you want them - and then draping a double or triple folded large blanket, quilt, or comforter over the front of …

Aug 15, 2001 · I mic a PA speaker (Peavey SP3) instead of an amp, but any good keyboard amp will work. I use a combination of SM57 and a Crown CM700 (small diaphram) to record it. I sometimes also run my synths through a Sansamp PSA-1, Bass Pod, or a tube preamp. I also use a variety of stompbox effects pedals for chorus, flange, or distortion.
