    Great job as always guys! I’m glad that you highlighted and showed what drastic differences can be achieved with the same equipment. it seems a lot of home recording enthusiast see one way, and become afraid that the one-way is the only way that will work. something I wanted to add, for those who do double rhythm tracks, you might want to consider micing differently for each track; that can be a big trick to giving you a bigger sound all together. This stuff is a world of fun, and I always appreciate your videos. Of course, I always appreciate making purchases from you as well lol.

    That first two mic technique is called the Freidman technique. They make clips specifically for that and it's great for metal and other hi gain genres. You get a bright mic, and a dark mic.

    this is helpful, but im a little confused with regards to the 2 mic technique when one mic is much further from the source than the other. doesn't this lead to phase issues?

  • @martianmurray
    @martianmurray Год назад +2

    How do you address phase issues? Just move the mics around, or is it something with your DAW or interface?

    • @isaacbugalho
      @isaacbugalho Год назад +5

      @Brent Harmon's Music Corner that's a complete phase rotation, might help but won't fix it.
      Best way to phase align is to measure distance from source to closest mic, then from source to furthest mic, find the difference, calculate or use an app to convert that distance to milliseconds or samples, and use that number on the DAW to delay the closest mic.
      Just a note, if using front and back mic technique, add a Phase flip (on one of the mics) to what was said.
      Fine tune by ear some samples back and forth
      Sounds way more complicated than what it is really, remember 1foot is roughly 1 millisecond

    • @AJ-ch2cg
      @AJ-ch2cg Год назад

      ​@@isaacbugalho good info. Just my opinion, but why bother with all that calculation (unless you have lots of time on your hands and enjoy that sort of thing), when method 1 alone sounds so good? Obviously the answer to that is experimentation and finding the right sound for the setup and space, but to me there's a clear winner here, and the simplicity makes it an easy choice for me.

    • @isaacbugalho
      @isaacbugalho Год назад +1

      @@AJ-ch2cg Your ears should be the judge, there's no wrong, one of the most famous 80's snare sound is achieved with mics out of phase.
      That being said, if you want mics in phase, what I wrote is the way to go, just flipping the phase won't do it.

    What about using the shuresm57 b? The big one that podcasters use. That’s what I’ve been mic’ing up my amps with and I’m wondering if the sm57 might be better

    • @uvicjames
      @uvicjames 15 дней назад

      Lots of videos on that, comparing the two. SM7B is good for lots of applications, but the SM57 is the standard guitar cab mic. One reason is size... easier to put the SM57 on a cab in a live environment, isolation cab, etc.

    How are you not getting guitar bleed from playing right next to the mics?

    • @Nathansillav
      @Nathansillav Год назад

      By guitar bleed do you mean you can hear the guitar being played though the mic, if so you just turn that up up very loud, if the acoustic strumming is coming though your guitar amp mic that means your strumming is as loud as your amp,

    Why not plug in directly to a mixer? This confuses me so much. Especially with a bass amp. If I have a bass amp do I still need a second subwoofer for the PA system? Or are two main speakers good enough?

    • @sockstactical
      @sockstactical 16 дней назад

      In a guitar amp, a good chunk of the tone actually comes from the speakers and how they sound in the room, which is why most guitarists prefer micing an amp rather than going DI. I couldn’t really tell you what most bassists prefer, but assuming you’re going DI you’d probably want to have a subwoofer in your PA system to get the most bass.

    • @uvicjames
      @uvicjames 15 дней назад

      Plug what directly into a mixer? If you want to capture the output of an amplifier you will either need to capture the sound at the speakers with a mic or simulate a speaker. You can do the latter a few ways, including using a reactive load box to capture the signal passing through the speaker cable, sending it to a DAW or dedicated hardware box, and then using a simulator to model the speaker. If you just take a preamp out directly into a DAW it usually sounds terrible.

  • @bengagliardo1080
    @bengagliardo1080 Год назад +1

    on a 4 speaker cab.. one speaker has a tendency to sound better than the rest.. find that one and mike that one... if you only got one mike like on stage. how the speakers are wired will determine which one has more balls. lol
