Hi guys. ;) I've just bought a 2nd hand Fender twin reverb amp (70's) to use for recording. I don't know too much about amps so a friend of mine (guitarist) tried it out with me when I bought it. It sounded great, lovely and warm. I got it home and turned it on and it makes a kind of...

Yep, then I guess we can either DI or mic' up. Great. ;)

What do you think of this? http://www.dv247.com/guitars/peavey-max-112-bass-guitar-amp-combo--34173 Jen.

Ok, cool! Thank you. ;D

Does anyone have any thoughts re-budget boundary mics? Whether it would be worth experimenting with them? ANd if yes are there budget mics which are worth playing around with? My recording space is a log cabin 14ft x 11ft x 9ft. It has quite a nice atmosphere but not sure if that would...

Cool thanks. AMp+Mic it is. ;)

Lot of food for thought! This is going to sound very silly but are there reasons why you shouldn't just plug straight your guitar/bass straight into your audio interface/desk for recording? ...... (that's not my plan, I just wondered)....

......am I right in thinking then that if you use higher wattage amps you need to use an attenuator to record? It would be good to have slightly higher wattage units to play through ideas etc. but I’m very much a newbie with all this technology stuff and attenuators etc. may start to get...

Hi there, Are you currently selling the Naiant mics in the UK? Jen

WOw, thank you. Budget-wise, that's perfect. Bit different from other suggestions so will have a think through. I hadn't even though about enclosed speaker boxes, will google how to make them. Though I'm pretty lucky as I have no neighbours! But I guess it will be helpful to stop excess...

I thought about going straight in with the bass but then saw the minefield of DI box options!? .....

Thanks a million. I'll go ahead with that (5W tube amp and a small 4 10' cab) so I have something there for all eventualities but as you say they prob. have their own stuff. .......The Orange amps seem to get good reviews but rather pricey......

Hi all, I need to buy a guitar combo amp and bass combo amp for my little home studio. Is it possible to get something fairly cheap which will sound ok? I'm making some rustic PJ Harvey-esque recordings at home. I have different players in and out so different guitars being used which I know...

Does anyone have any opinion on the drum mic' kits; AUDIO TECHNICA MB/DK7 MIDNIGHT BLUES DRUM-MICROPHONE PACK Includes a core selection of five microphones specifically engineered for drum applications, along with two MB 4k cardioid condenser microphones ideal for drum overhead miking. £324...

Are you currently selling the Naiant mics in the UK? Jen

Yep I think stereo will be fine (info. above). Just trying to find the Naiant X-S for sale in the UK. I live in the middle of nowhere and the internet here is a nightmare.....taking me a while! Thanks for the advice....$39 each!! WOw. Are they comparable to the NT5's? Jen.

I like that! ;D Think pair overheads sounds ideal, NT5's and a kick mic; beta 52, then 58 on piano and guitar and I guess I can use the beta 52 on bass amp also........ Got to work out how we're gonna record all this, whether we're laying it down together (more pricey with the mics!) or...

Thanks, do you have any suggestions as to which mics, amps etc. i should purchase for the jobs? Thanks, Jen. P.S Is it more usual to record bass through mic and amp or di?

Hi all, I wasn't sure quite where to post this as I'm asking for advise on a few bits and bobs. I'm not an engineer by any stretch of the imagination so please excuse my ignorance. For the last couple of years I've been recording some of my own stuff at home in my one room 'studio' as a...
