Hi everyone,
I've been dabbling in recording for a little bit and have a small home set up.
I have a question about recording electric guitars. I am micing my amp which is an Orange dual terror with an Orange 2x12 with a SM57. I play alternative rock, so nothing really metal or anything. It seems that when I record my guitars I can never get that "big" guitar sound, and they tend to sound thin. I double them and pan hard left and right but I still can't manage to get a decent fullness. My interface is a Presonus Quantum 2.
Is there any advice anyone can give? Does a full guitar sound matter more on the source signal or is it achieved in the mixing process? Is it mic placement? More guitar tracks?
Here is a link to some of my recordings, the "November sessions" are more recent.
You can hear some of my recordings on my Bandcamp, user name is Refractionmusic. (I can't post any links yet)
Thanks in advanced! Joe
