I have a balladeer special with an OP30 preamp. I've heard ovations our great in the studio and was wondering do most people record these guitars directly or a combination of being mic'd and direct?

Thanks, andrew

Ok, so, I'm attempting to record some guitar tracks onto a Zoom H4 4 track recorder. The recorder has 2 mic inputs. I have 1, possibly 2 sm58s available to me, and I just took the capsule off the mic, and placed it on an angle facing the amp. The recorder also has 2 built in condenser mic's in an XY pattern, if that would be better.

Has anybody had the opportunity to work with the Aria FA-65 Jazz guitar ?
Is it good at what it does ?

Cheers!

Hey all, noob here.

Hey all,

hi whats the best way to record guitar ? i have a Alesis multimix 8usb, a marshal MG50DFX, Cubase SX3, and a microphone. how should i use these?

i am currently Micing the amp and recording that way but it sounds really rubbish and I'm getting this horrible echoy sound folowing it. a bit like reverb. i get this sound even when i connect the guitar directly to my Alesis multimix

HI,

What's the Electric Guitar are you sing it for Recording purpose?

Somebody use a Cheap Guitar but change the Pickup for Recording...but some other guys use the Higher Range guitar for the Recording...

What about you guys?

Any Pickup Recommended for Pop Rock?

Hey all,

Just wanting to hear everyones thoughts on their preffered method of recording heavily distorted electric guitar (lets say a marshall JCM2000 stack) in the studio.

What are your preffered mic options and why?

How do you all get a phat crunchy guitar sound..EQ/layering/panning etc?

Would be good to hear some suggestions as I have a project coming up.

hi all

what is the best way to record an acoustic electric bass (by that i don't mean a standup bass, i mean one of those aria acoustic basses that looks like a big electric guitar, but with a pickup inside somewhere) -- go directly in to the mixer from the pickup, or do you need to DI first? or is it still best to plug it into an amp and mic the amp?

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.
