since you have the mic already, why don't you try sticking it in front of the amp and see how you like the results. Try a few different positions close to the speaker cone, closer to the edge of the speaker etc. There's nothing to say you have to use a dynamic to record an electric guitar. SM57...

Unless you like the sound of the band playing together and feeding off one another at least for the bed tracks, you can throw in some overdubs afterward if needed. That's extremely difficult to do when recording instruments one by one and not the way a lot of bands record IME. Of course there...

To my mind (which is getting foggier by the day) one of the big drawbacks with sims and other digital stuff is also one of it's strengths, and that is flexibility and ever expanding range of options to mess with with my guitar setup,outside of my guitars, in my real physical world I have two...

Good advice. But to play devils advocate..... If you understand gain staging and signal flow and assuming your house just doesn't have really bad electrical with all kind of grounding problems then adding a channel strip on the front end won't add any more noise to your finished product than...

That's why he's a voice over artist and not an engineer. someone else made all of the recording chain decisions before he got there. Racing drivers don't have to know the chemistry behind tire compounds but it doesn't mean good tires aren't important in racing and millions of dollars aren't...

Well it was a garage that happened to have a control room with neve consols, Studer tape machines, vintage outboard gear and Producer Butch Vig in it. When you're a grammy winning, multi millionaire, rock star, "Garage" can take on a different meaning

I like how in the picture he has a Manley Lab ELOP limiter $3000, UA 1176 $2000 and an Empirical labs distressor $1500 on the left side of his desk rack and then a couple of grands worth of control surface in this attempt to show people you don't need high end gear LOL So he chose to use a...

What your RMS meters are telling you will also be dependent on what speed you set the ballistics too. REAPER Defaults to 300ms as I recall which also happens to be more or less how a real VU meter reacts. This takes the very fast transients out of the equation so that the meter is giving you a...

Hey if it aint broke, don't try to fix it

Nothing I could say that I want to hear mixed different Really great song even without any drums :)

Bummer on the studio but...... I look at it this way. Familiarity leads to complacency in a lot of things in life. Stuff is taken for granted and the spark of the things we love can be lost. Changing things up can lead to new inspiration, take us down new roads we never thought we'd explore and...

Channel strip user here For mixing I will tend to use VST Plugin channel strips on tracks where processing is needed simply because everything is in one plug and gives me a level of consistency For really important tracks such as a snare or vocal or lead guitar I might use a separate compressor...

I work with faders on a control surface set to draw the automation into the DAW. If I don't quite get it with the control surface but it's real close I just edit the automation envelope with the mouse, if it's way off I make a quick note of how it should be and do it over The other benefit for...

In the $1K range I really like the Neuman TLM 102, so much so I bought two of them. Clean sound very versatile, nice on vocals, guitars, as a room mic etc and will leave some budget left over for room treatment to make your sound even better There are a lot of good options at that price point...

Personally, I'd go to a bunch of guitar stores stores and play a bunch of guitars both new and used in my price range and then buy the one that seems to suit me the best in terms of feel and playability. It's worked well for me so far

Or to think about it another way, what do you not like about the mic that you currently have that you are hoping to fix buy purchasing another mic (not for under $100)

Unless something is broken in Fruity loops (FL), there really shouldn't be any difference in what software you use. Quality of the vocal recording will come from: the source material, the performance, The room you are in, the mic, the mic's position, gain staging and converters. the computer...

I think possibly the best purchase I ever made was a true RMS volt meter and some of the best time I spent was in calibrating my input and ouput/mixing chains (including emulation plugins which do have a simulated 0VU point at which point distortion begins to build regardless of the number of...

Wow! nicely done If I were to change anything I'd try to bring out the low end a little more but that just may be my taste. Great song. sounds really good

Great Track. Sort of Santana feel to it. Really enjoyed listening My only complaint is the acoustic solo part is fighting a little bit at the start with the hard panned chords and occasionally seemed to get swallowed by them. Maybe re voicing them would be good, but its a very minor complaint
