Nice one! And nice mic selection, I own both Lewitt ones, the LCT 440 PURE being my favourite for everything. But I recently discovered how great is mixing in a ribbon mic, in my case an inexpensive Superlux R102, it's actually closer to what we usually hear in the room.
Hello, I have the Lewitt 440 pure condenser microphone recommended in the video. I used the microphone to record my amp 2 days ago. I am also very pleased with the results. However, while surfing the internet, I read that condenser microphones are damaged by applications that contain high volumes, such as recording amplifiers. I've been doing research for 2 hours with the suspicion that I might have damaged my microphone, and I was happy to find the video directly from the brand. Do you think I should continue recording my amplifier with peace of mind with my microphone? While recording, the distance between the amplifier and my microphone was approximately 7-10 centimeters and the performance lasted about 30 minutes. Your answer will give me great relief. Thank you in advance, Lewitt family.
Hey thanks for your question. You are not going to damage your condenser mic by recording your guitar amp. Condenser mics are routinely used in studios to record loud guitar amplifiers and drums. The only concern might be overloading the circuit of the mic (leading to distortion but no physical damage), but the LCT 440 PURE has a very high max SPL too--140 dBSPL. So carry on recording guitar amps! I do it all the time with the mic right up on the grill cloth.
So you’re doing headphone monitoring a few feet from your amp. Do you not have issues with hearing the sound coming from the amp speaker and penetrating the headphones so that you’re sort of hearing two guitar signals?
That is definitely an issue, so it's important to record a sample and listen back so you can get an accurate picture of your tone and then make adjustments. It can be somewhat tedious, but that is one of the limitations of recording yourself at home.
Novice players sitting alone in their practice space like to dial in their tone based on how they want their guitar to sound alone without a band (or with their band in their cheap practice room with bad acoustics). Then when it comes time to record they insist on having that same tone yet many times it doesn't sound as good as it could in the context of the whole band in a particular room with a particular mic setup. Your video indirectly perpetuates this ignorance suggesting that they can have their own tone even though their tone is clouding the mix. Regardless, thanks for the video; lots of good info.
Great video I really needed this

Of course!

Great video. Which amp is that, please?
Fender Blues Jr. Tweed

Thanks for watching the video and sharing your perspective
Ive been recording amp to mic lol.
Try mic'ing from the back.
The more AIR the better, I think.
me who records both amp with mic and DI signal :')
That's the best of both worlds! Then you have a back up for reamping
Dude even can’t switch on subtitles. Dislike 👎
Dude (aka Brian) didn't upload the video. We just enabled them though, so they should be available soon 😉
Great video I really needed this
