So ive heard that IF you mic up the amp of your guitar that it will sound better than if you just plug into into you 1/4 input jack. I really dont get how that could make it sound better. If you just plug a guitar in normally wouldnt it be better becasue there is less un wanted noise getting in?

Any ways i want to try it and see if i can get a cool sound.

Hello All,

I am preparing to add some electric guitar tracks to my current project song and I was wondering if I could get some feedback from the forum. I sold my Apeg amp about a year ago but I still have my stomp boxes.

Hi everyone,

I'm just about to start a project that is going to twist my rubber arm to buy more gear!

I was hoping for some recommendations...

1) I need a nice mic for electric guitars. Has anybody compared the Royer R-122 to the 121? Is it worth the extra $500? Any other suggestions?

I'm a student at the Conservatory of Recording Arts in Tempe, Arizona. I start a project next Wednesday, it's my first recording. It goes unsaid that I want to have the best recording in my class. Any Micing techniques, and mic types (I have many at my disposal) that you all could recommend would be very appreciated and helpful.

Hi all! Just wondering if any of you have ever tried recording electric guitar/electric bass with a Sennheiser E604? Have read people saying that the E604's sound a LITTLE like MD421's on toms, so therefor i wondered if they would be good as bass/guitar-mics. I know it is not very common to use these as mentioned, but. .anyone have any experience?

my friend has a esp ltd electric guitar,a very good guitar but the only problem is the lycensed floyd rose, it has emg hz two humbuckers.
the guitar i've selected ltd m1000fm has original floyd rose but it has two emg 81 humbuckers which i read that they sound better for the heavy metal kind of thing especially sound like slayer.

Buddies...

I'm now looking for a Acoustic Electric Guitar..any recomanded Brand and Model?

I'm actually using a Yamaha CFX-5 and Norman with Fishman Pick-up.

So now looking for another for Studio recording and Live purpose!But i'm often on the stage purpose!

Any advice and idea 'cheap and pretty sound with both build in preamp and quality of wood?'

So let's say you're recording an electric guitar, multitrack, to be used in a band setting.

Do you:

Dial in EQ on the amp, using the low/mid/hi knobs, to the way you/the guitarist want it, then just record that signal and keep it relatively flat from there?

mic preamp - I assume api? Great River with royer?
how about for a compressor - what will give a nice fat and present sound?
