I've been reading a lot lately :roll: , about Micing guitar cabinets.
And when the pros talk of their favorite Micing techniqes, it involves finding the best speaker and put their favorite mics on it and deal with the phase issues. Is'nt it more logical to put the mics on separate speaker cones, to honor the 3-1 rule and be free from phase problems?

Hello everyone, I'm sort of young and relatively new to recording, and I'm going to be recording for a friend's band soon and am in need of a way to track all members except vocals (drums, bass, 2 guitars) simultaneously.

Hello everyone. This is my first post to this forum, and I'm hoping that many opinions will flow from this post.

Could anyone tell me if Micing a cabnet with lets say 2 mics (in this case 1 dynamic & 1 condenser), would it yield any substantial sonic results? Also with such a setup, would it be wise to set the EQ for each mic to a different setting or not a all? And finally, after all of this, would going to dedicated pre's be better than going to the cabinet or doing both be better?

I've posted this previously, but I have more questions that might be answered fully. The suggestions that were provided included the use of figure 8 pattern, which I don't have with any of my current mics. I need to record a guy playing guitar and singing at the same time.

I was recording a dry guitar thru an Avalon 737 last night. The dry sound on tape is real clean. I then went out an aux, balenced, thru a radial JDI, out of the JDI, unbalenced, into a pod. When the pod comes back into the mixer it has more hiss and less balls then plugging straight into the pod.

I am recording some dry guitar tracks tonight and am getting more hiss than I want when going back through the pod. I have a les paul going straight into an Avalon 737 then into the mixer. I am coming out of an aux, balenced, into a radial JDI then unbalenced into the pod. The pod then back into the mixer. I am just getting too much hiss on the pod sound. Am I doing something wrong?

Hey folks,

I am sure there are a lot of people that have POD's or similar out there. Myself, I have a J Station, much better than the POD but I digress...

I was pretty impressed with the J stations sounds, quite good for what it does, but for serious recording I still used amps.

When i record my band, the bassplayer goes into the board thru a direct box.

I dont have a speaker emulator or box to record my guitar with.

What is the cheapest most effective box to use get a useful guitar track when going into the board without a mic'd amp?
