I'm working on a new song and I was thinking a talk box - you know, the plastic tube in the mouth, Peter Frampton, Joe Walsh, etc. thing - would sound pretty cool in one section.
The irony is I used to have one, the Dunlop, and after playing with it for about 15 minutes I decided it was the single stupidest gear purchase I ever made because I would never use it, so I sold it. And now, well... another guitar player I jam and record with has one, and I would probably have him play the part anyway.
So I was wondering if anybody has recorded the talk box, and wanted to get advice on the best way to go about it.
Mic? I only have a 57 and 58 at the moment..
How far away from the mic?
Seems like a pop filter would be problematic... windscreen though, maybe?
Thanks in advance for any and all suggestions.
