I am in the process of gathering recording a metal band. We will be coming up on guitars in the next few days, and I figured I would ask a few question first so that I am better prepared. I have always recorded “blues type” music and have relied on one sticking on mic in front of the amp and moving it around until it sounds good. This method works fine for me when I have the option to re-track later down the road, but this time I don’t have that option. So I want to use a second mic for another option during post.
I am recording a Marshall DSL100 into a Marshall 1960 slant cab. I want to use either a Beta 57 or SM 57, and a KSM27. Is there any advice you can offer up as far general placements for the mics. The way I am thinking about going about is using one of the fifty sevens on the grill of on speaker, and sweeping it back and forth until I find something I like. Then I want to use the KSM27, but I don’t know were. Do I shove it as close as I can to the same position of the 57, in order to eliminate as much phase as I can, but still leaving me with two different guitar sounds? Or do I stick the 57 on speaker of the cab and the KSM27 on another? How much phase issues would I have with that placement. Or do I use the KSM27 in a radical place like the back of the cab or 7ft in front of it? As you can see I never have doubled miced a cab and all advice is going to be helpful.
Thanks
