    Un-orthodox recording

    I've not done much experimenting, but a few weeks ago I taped a wrapping paper tube to my microphone(SM-57), to give the mic this 3 foot barrel. It gave it a really mid-rangey, boomy, whooshy sound. I haven't used it in a mix yet, but it could produce some interesting result. Also, I was...

    Jammin' out

    Hey man, I know what you're talking about. When I played in my last band, I played rhythm guitar, and like you at first just stood there, motionless. My basic rule of thumb is this: forget about it. Forget about "moving" around. Forget about hitting perfect notes. Forget about looking...

    Is there life after dead strings?

    Hmmm...well, seeing as i'm not really a bass player, i'm really not sure if this'll work, but it COULD..hehehe... Why don't you try a wah-wah pedal and rock it all the way forward. Given, this'll accentuate the treble, but not really in the same manner as if you were to push it up on the EQ...

    recording guitar direct?

    One vote for the POD right here, that is, if you HAVE to go direct...you've gotta love the sound of an amp at 11 tho, can't replicate that with circuts. Again, have to go direct, go POD, it's the best bet.

    Hey guys, There's alot of talk around here about taking a signal, say, a guitar, and panning part of it left or right, and only applying processing to that panned signal. How is this done? I may have answered my own question now, is it that you record in stereo, thus have two tracks to...
