you think because you have a DSL50 you are some all-star tube player and have an enlightened attitude towards your playing? you probably still have your cab loaded with complete shit. but that's besides the point, you can rant your sarcasm all you want, but it's not going to make your playing get any better. who gets lessons anyways? what is all this reference to selling things and doing lines? what colour are the lines?

you're not a tone monster, you're not creative, you don't have technical ability. so quit trying to spout off like a little pathetic baby in an attempt to make it better. be a little more mature about it, get pissed and go break a string or two practising. this honestly sounds like something done on a BR-900cd. ill stand waiting, ready for you to throw a sarcastic fit on your next comment. your comments are almost as predictable as your guitar playing might seem to be.

and im trying to help you, right? why else would i be on this forum commenting. sheesh do your homework on guitar and listen to me already. at the very least don't be so predictable.

also am i reading this right, you had a close mic positioned 6 inches back?
if thats so my only question is, are you retarded?
cucco, why is it that you don't feel the need to blatently correct this jackass and tell him that he has no clue in response to a half foot away 57?

you know what, because i sure as hell don't think it has anything to do with being knowledgable towards audio engineering.

Yea, you tell 'em!

Uh...dude???? Why the hostility? Did Mommy not hold you enough as a kid? Or did she drop you a few times??? Perhaps she sprinkled cocaine on your corn flakes.... I dunno, but dude - ease up or you'll find yourself off this board - permanently.

As for the 6" close mic...that's perfectly fine. In fact, I've put 57s feet away from a cab and gotten good results. It all depends on the sound you want at that moment in time. Especially given that it's a 4 driver cab, a well placed medium distance mic can do a great job of picking up that massive sound.

So, LS, please take your prozac and come back when you're feeling happy and warm.

Don't worry about him, I don't get worked up over a message board. My sarcasm may seem like I'm offended, but it's just dripping, dripping wet sarcasm. Kinda like Liquid's dripping va... oh, nevermind.

Thanks for the input, though. I've gotten it to work out well now, even though I'm a no-talent hack.

Got any extra corn flakes?

so youve described and prescribed my condition as; depression: prozac, bi-polar: lithium, CNS stimulant: cocaine and you've said by reason of poor parenting effecting in mental retardation. now you are calling the millions who are bi polar, have depression, and take cocaine retards. who are only retarded because they've been poorly parented.

since prozac has a much different effect than cocaine, which do you professionaly prescribe? either way your correlation of perscriptions is possibly unparalell to that of my actions. who say lines have to be cocaine? god your so simple minded man. on one sentence you seem to be unanimously bashing drugs but on the other hand you prescribe them quite fluently. either way i just wanted to express my disdain for corrupteds corrupted guitar playing. and corruption is bad kids.

either way who will i turn to when i need an expert opinion, you guys. because the way you state your case they aren't opinions, they are god's word. however credible that may be.

man at least my comments had musical references, look how childish you look cucco. but look in the mirror before you answer that. your familiarity of drugs just shows me you have no idea what you're talking about sheesh

Hmm...not sure what looks have to do with it. The audio world is full of ugly f*cks like Dave and me. That's why we're not in TV.

What, do you look like Tom Cruise, or do you just behave like him?

Can I touch you? You're fantastical.

And I still can't figure out what the hell you're talking about Laughing

... I didn't post a clip of me "shredding" so I could boost my ego and earn your respect... it's just a random sample I grabbed out of the Audio folder in my project.

But apparently you have no comprehension of the concept of "guitar tone". You're still fantastical and I want to be you, though.

Rational thought and talent have nothing to do with looks. These are concepts and realities that you are obviously struggling with.

My tiny avatar tells you nothing of the gargantuan talent I possess and use at my own discretion.

It also tells you nothing of the inate beauty that surrounds me like a halo and transforms all who come into contact with me.

Yeah. Enlighten us to your talents. This should be interesting. Exclamation

corrupted, not for boost of ego OR respect, just post your shredding for shreds sake. and tom cruise is the shit, you better just watch out how you sling his name around cucco cause your picture looks like you wanna be tom. id wanna be tom man katie holmes is fuckin hot.

Ok. My Expectations are really high now. Can't wait to hear your stuff now.

Regarding tone, has anyone suggested a Senn 421 yet? Sorry too lazy to read through it all. I like the 421. It tends to add a good bite. Just personal taste.

wow, liquidstudios really has his panties in a bind. don't they have mods in this place to keep out raging trolls like this? i don't know why someone so artistically brilliant like LS, would have such an inferiority complex.

Just to go off topic for a mo. What's up with that lunatic? Shuld'nt you be somewhere picking up your "nastiest person in the western hemisphere award" (Novice section)
Anyway, recording your guitar sound. My own personal ground rules.You must start right from the get-go! Not being happy with your resultant recorded guitar sound wont be put right no matter how you mess with it or with what. - I agree this is only my opinion, but, once it's in the can, the more you colour it, shave bits off it, enhance one certain aspect, reduce another facet, just a bit more of this there and a bit less of the other there, it's already sounding not quite real and a bit amateurish and just you notice how it shrinks, no matter how loud you have it. As I said earlier, you can't make a silk purse from a sows ear!
I would never record guitar without using a good Marshall, Fender, Matchles, Boogie or Rivera. (Iknow there are others, Hey, I haven't tried them all!) Gutars? I've tried thousands but if it isn't what Fender or Gibson have to offer then, let's be honest, we are fooling ourselves a little.
Right, from the menu above let's assume we have decided on the two important ingreediants. Now, identify a nice solid brick wall, place the speaker cab. facing it, about three feet away. With the space there, boom-stand in a Shure Unidine, about eight inch away from speaker at, say twenty degree angle. That is a good starting point. Now you can put your SM58. to a better use too. Stick it in a boom-stand at about eight feet high. Position it no less than fifteen feet away from cab. This set up is now ready for balancing the gains on each mic. to give you what is so far a real dimension. (Try listening each mic. alone then together for the result and adjust the gains as you wish.) If you want a more "hairy" or "in your face" sound, a decent pre-amp pedal is o.k. A fuzzbox, chorus pedal, wah-wah, there is no problem using these but then you are increasing the necessity for a noise supresser. To sum-up so far, - LESS IS MORE.
If you are not happy with your resultant guitar sound in the studio after that, it's pos. you never will be, and there is always synthesizers.
But joking asside, there's enough jokers on here already, good luck- it's the way I've always gone with my recording sessions. Let me know how it goes !

yeah that's great advice man, record with an sm58 on guitar and use a noise suppressor, jesus christ give this guy a cookie. oh and a mic fifteen foot away on an eight foot stand.

who's the bitch now santie clause? elf fucker? ass clown.
