'Ello gentlemen.
Two quick questions:
1) A "singer" im recording wants his voice to sound fuller. currently having him "sing" into a AKG 220 which im rather pleased with (for the money). i was thinking of doing the following. how about i have him sing into a sm57 thats wicked close for proximity effect, and then the AKG 220 about a foot away (double micing him)?
would this sound like shit, or make his voice bigger?
2) Working on recording a young metal band. It pains my ears, but the little kids really know their shit. boy can they play. (they made sure to let me know they wern't "scene kids" or "emo".. they described themselves as a modern day pantera.. whoever they are.) but anyways, their takes are wonderful and clean, but there is only one guitar player in the band who isnt satisfied with the sound. he's describing it as thin. so i was wondering if the following would work:
Guitar>morley A/b/y box
line a> DI Saffire pro 40 > Pod farm distortion effects
line b> marshal 4x12 >sm57 > saffire pro 40
would this sound decent? or make it muddy or cluttered?
thanks men. appreciate all your input.
