Thank you so much for this video! I am buying a Rode NT1 for a gift to myself on my birthday this year, with an Electric guitar and a Fazley FMT-01 Metal Mary pedal to play some Punk Rock / Metal on. What is your opinion on the mic in general? And possibly what Pedals do you use? ALSO HOW HAS NO ONE ASKED YOU QUESTIONS BEFORE!
It was nice to have a visual of mic placement in relation to sound, especially where you moved it around the cone. I've been using digital FX versions of this for years but not played a lot with actual mics. Thanks!
Thanks this was very helpful. I like the focused tight sound of using just 1 mic. 2 or more is occupying way too much space in the mix and the details are watered down imho
I have a Katana too, I absolutely love it. Modeling amps have come a long way since my first modeling amp (Line 6 Spider II) I do miss the Insane channel though 🤪 Do you ever use the line out on the Katana for recording? If so, is it better to use a 1/8” stereo to L and R 1/4” or just mono to mono?
They're cool aren't they!! Back in the states I have a fender bassman reissue thats my pride and joy, but this amp does the job until I go back. And I also had a spider in the beginning, I remember the metal and insane channels were my jammmmm. And yes I've only ever done mono to mono but still never really liked the sound of it, just preferred to mic it with a 57 usually. If I'm doing DI, I usually try and do some emulation either with the ableton amp sims or the overloud th-u sim. But again, its usually only for clean stuff :)
Good question! The closest I've ever done to this sort of set up is am XY stereo condenser and I personally didn't enjoy the way it sounded. I find its not difficult to mimic a clean sound, the issue comes when you start trying to mimic your distortion sound. Perhaps its just the nature of listening in headphones rather than in a spatial environment
@@AudioHaze I totally agree. Recording distorted tones at home has been a source of constant and endless frustration for me. I wonder how the classic rock and metal bands got such a natural sounding tone recorded to tape. For me, the gold standard is Iron Maiden's guitar tone on the Piece of Mind album (e.g., "The Trooper"). As their recordings show, it is possible to get a great, realistic tone; I just don't know how they did it.
I'm a bit late but what he demonstrated here was a miced amp trough XLR cable into your interface which should have these inputs. Simply open up any recording software that you have and select your interface with mic and there you have it. You can also use a mic for live amping running into a mixer that geschrieben into a pa-system, that's how they do it usually 🙌

No problem! Yeah thats why I did a bunch of different takes so I could visually show the difference in placement, I think that helps
This JUST what I needed!!
Your videos are THE BEST comparison between these two mics.

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it :)
Thanks man
And thank you :)
I'd love not having to rewind and/or pause the vid to read the little side coments every single time they appear hahaha
haha sorry!! I guess thats just how my inner monologue works

Great video man! I can’t into amp sim either it sounds so thin and unnatural. It would be nice to track any time of the day though aha
True, especially with my amp I’m using now (Bassman 4x10) this beast does not like keeping quiet haha
Try some Neural DSP plugins, for example the Gojira one. They offer trials. Sounds huge.
Somewhere I saw two SDCs in ORTF setting to record a guitar amp. Wouldn't that be very close to what you hear in the room ?

Wait... was I supposed to not plug the electric guitar into the audio interface? or is this like for live performance recording?

I ended up really liking the condenser mic center on axis. Seems like most electric guitar recordings are just a celestion pummeling a 57
