    How do YOU mic guitars and basses?

    move cabnet about four feet in the air then a 57 towards center but at an angle after you find the sweet spot on the sweetest speaker, depending on the room and the sound you are looking for maybe put some baffals around the amp to get less room sound or not. If your trying to get the heavy...

    If you want to be really cheap bend a coat hanger and put the pantyhose around that.

    Tracking heavy distortion...

    I would raise the amp off the floor three to four feet, you really only need to use 1 mic on the amp it self and may be a mic four to whatever feet away of your choosing to help get a room sound if thats what your looking for. having two mics on the amp can work but is'nt necessary also be...

    Drum recording

    Gating the snare drum . . .

    I also agree that when playing ghost notes gating can be touchy You may need to ask the drummer to move the high hat a little bit further away also some thing that sounds strange but can work is taking a winter hat and puting it over a popper stopper and getting it between the hat and snare as...
