    Can't Get Guitar to sound right when recording

    Same here 'cept I've also done it at home. Place a single SM57 midway between the cone and edge of either right or left speaker of the amp and record it. It's not exactly rocket science to capture what the mic is actually *hearing/transmitting* to your DAW or standalone recorder provided it that...

    Can't Get Guitar to sound right when recording

    ? I said "HUGE" tones. I didn't say "PERFECT" tones. There are literally hundreds upon hundreds (if not thousands) of internet articles and videos concerning mic positioning when recording an amp. Reading and watching YouTube videos is simply fine, but the key to successfully recording an amp...

    Can't Get Guitar to sound right when recording

    For what's worth, IMO, it's possible to record HUGE tones from amplifiers whether or not they are rated at 5 watt or at 100 watt. My recording room is 12' x 24', fully treated with absorbers and bass traps. The largest problem I encountered was the loudness of my amps whenever I recorded...

    Baxendale Conversions, world class acoustic guitars at prices musicians can afford.

    Nor should they be. The Guilds were good builds.

    Acoustic Guitar Recording 101

    What phase issues? Two mics in front of the guitar and two mics at head level...less than 3 feet apart cause phase issues? If so, my hearing is much worse than I suspected.

    Acoustic Guitar Recording 101

    The amazing thing about this thread is that Whitestrat's recordings are still available to listen to! From a players perspective (not in front of my acoustic guitar) I have on occasion added to the normal two mic approach by adding a third mic and fourth mic slighty above right and left...

    Fender Precision Bass

    I've owned a few bass guitars throughout the years but the best bass I have ever played was a Warwick that my daughter owned. The only bass I own now is a Fender JP-90. Made in America

    Epiphone Special I

    It is quite noticeable and unattractive.

    Epiphone Special I

    Is it possible that the 3/16" gap can be filled in with a wood filler?

    Guitar Tuning and Temperament Primer (revised)

    There's no such thing as a perfect acoustic guitar, originally manufactured or otherwise.

    Gibson is not a good company.

    It sounds just like the Carvin Bolt Guitar I assembled a few years ago. If it feels good in your hands and sounds good......use it.

    Who still mixes with a console?

    You perfectly described the very reason that I have never used a PC to record to or mix my tracks. It's cumbersome. I like the feel of real faders at my fingertips. I use the computer (Adobe Audition) to tweak and polish my turds.

    Gibson is not a good company.

    You’re still playing yer guitar though! That's a good thing! ?

    Gibson is not a good company.

    Video certainly redefined the meaning of guitar demo. ?
