Both are good
but depends on the project.... i alot of the times do actually on a guitar cab a dynamic and condensor mic then even a DI track too. and mix to pref! i have also done just the the cab with dyn or cond, or just DI. it all varies to choice . i find that i dont always get it all out of micing a cab , even with both types. but that is me. and projects where we just use fruity loops drum programming, we just do guitar into effects pedal into box . no bass just that and vocals. and overlay vocals and some guitars. but its all what you want. and what interface are you using. we use protools and with effects sends , etc you can use just with what comes in the pt8 suite there are some desireable guitar tones for DI. nowhere near what is readily out there but on a workin mans budget and time restraints. other suites may not have what i do, i am unsure of that... but heres a breakdown of mine, and please alot if you look into any , that everytime we record we usually soon after upgrade something in studio, so some stuff may not be what you guys can do but we make it work...
and simply look up any of these band names in mywaste.com's music and listen.
fucking murder - mic'd small small room with one sennheiser cond onguitar cab and one overhead mxl pen cond mic above drums. each on one input of mbox. vocals recorded after jam sessions with shure sm58 DI. no mix, master, eq, anything on guitar and drums. some on vocals here and there.
amputee masturbation - nothing live. drum on fruity loops, exported to stereo PT session. DI guitars, DI vox on sm58, and effects and mixing on some. the quiet project until we burn cd and rock it.
PFSIYAM - all DI, an old casio keyboard, an sm58 and mxl 990 for vocals and samples, and our voices and sounds we made and manipulated in PT. experimental. made a techno ish drum beat out of the sound we got from dropping the sm58 and working it in protools.lots of mix, edit, effects, anything. all a learning process in PT.
Life will be good again - drums, off location with 2 mics into a dig 8 track board, badly mixed out and burned to cd, imported audio to track in PT, 1 dyn and 1 cond mic on bass and guitars, vocals 2 DI tracks on sm58. mixed to my ability with drum tracks and band.
unod - much like FM, with 2 room mics on drums, and somewhat recording live but then hitting all guitars,one mic and DI, then a DI bass track. no mix. live , old, demo sound. what we wanted since we played as a instrumental 2 piece. what you hear, barebones!
horrid ordeal - 9 mic on drums, mic crate cab w sennheiser cond, live sm58 on bass, overdub of di bass with his effect pedal used, vocals one track into mixer with compression and studio room effect (behringer mixer). hopefully my first true mix , work in progress. LEARNING!
hope this helps somehow despite you may hate my music and techniques. but it does show what you can get out of any situation, and show its all in what you put into it. i always think music speaks for itself, but maybe i just suck! and btw horrid ordeal has nothing up on mywaste yet so dont even bother listening.

Interesting stuff Rue..and great tracks from Yammie...does he still post here?..that advice on drive on the Pod has really made a difference..
Im in an apartment so no amps but they would never be my choice anyway...just starting to record live instruments now as i was always more into electronic sounds...must say I'm getting mixed results
what's sounding meaty live is losing a lot of quality once its played back in Sonar...I swear it has a poorer audio engine than Live..dunno
I've got a fair amount of choice..Pod 2, V-Amp, Pod Farm, GR3, Amplitube Fender, couple of tube pre's (Im using a strat with hot pups and a washburn xpro..cheap but sounds good for rock)..but I must be missing something...is there anything on the hardware front that would beef up the sound other than mic'ing an amp?
I also have a 12 string acoustic that's proving difficult to record (though I think I've mentioned this in another post) either direct through a pick up, loses its ambience, or through a condenser and pre...sounds thin and reedy..
Any suggestions or set ups suggestions would help
thanks

Bass you can get away with direct in since it is practically done 95% of the time at all levels from an apartment all the way to Capitol records...but guitars are better miced up especially with monitors...so I do it when I can...but alot of pop is getting done nowdays going direct in so if you have a noise problem using mics durring tracking its a perfect solution.

Amps are never going to be used in the near future due to travelling and we're always down town in apartments, for a while anyway..
I run everything through a mixer and then into a toneport as my audio interface, not ideal but portable..the guitars, or bass (which i have no trouble with) go through either an effects unit then a pre amp (yes those bloody tube ones) into the mixer, or straight into the pre amp if using a softamp....it sound great, crisp but beefy..then as soon as I record it into Sonar it loses all its body..just sounds tinny...almost like there's no cabinet

It seems to be a practice that is getting more acceptace everyday...the toneport modeling stuff is as good as you can get for most situations...when it just comes right down to it what is working for you and your situation it should be good enough...so I guess you are only doing vocals with your mic?
