Anyone have any ideas of how to record (mic) an amp when you live in a situation where noise level could be a problem and sound proofing a room is not an option? Some examples would be when you live in an apartment (with just a wall separating you and your neighbors) or shared domicile? etc...
I don't want to record direct or with an amp/cab simulator, I just despise the fake sound of those things. I was thinking of maybe putting the amp in a wood box and try to sound proof the box somewhat to reduce the sound level. Anyone try something like this and have any success? I can always add effects/reverb later if it comes out sounding, for lack of a better word.....somewhat boxy sounding.
Thanks for any helpful replies.
