Hey,
I was at a workshop today where a guy took about three hours to explain that he records a dry DI signal along with a mic'd amp when recording guitars just in case the amp sound doesn't turn out that way it should have.
Is there a bigger picture to this technique? I found his way of explaining somewhat lackluster and was wondering if there are other benefits to this besides being able to modulate the guitar signal much more than with a mic'd amp recording.
