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 i have a student coming into my studio to do some recording. unfortunately the drum kit is rather er cheap sounding.
I have four to six tracks i can devote to the percussion. Has anyone some ideas on placement and ways to improve the tonal characteristics?

I play drums in a cover band that gigs often. Small to medium clubs and outdoor functions as well. I woulld like to overhead vs close mic. I have a Shure Beta 52 for the kick and Shure SM57 for snare.

I'm am looking for a link or name of a manufacturer that manufactures a mic holder/stand that can slide between the bottom of an amp and the amp's road case in which it sits. I would be using either SM57 or MD 409 mics with them. I've seen some of these used previously and they are great. If the amp moves the mic stays put and moves with it.

Hey. So, I've spent the better part of an hour searching the forums, but I can't seem to find much on acoustic guitars. Am I just being slightly naive in assuming that there are really techniques for Micing acoustic guitars? Or, perhaps it's very simple and not especially noteworthy? Either way, I was just wondering what people thought.

The music I am recording is Heavy Metal. I have been preparing to record guitar tracks for my bands CD. I'm playing a Marshall stack through a AVT150 Head. The order or setup is:

Guitar-Pedals-StageworksEQ-MarshallHead-Alesis3630Compressor to SM57 "flat" towards the angle of the cone which goes into an ART DPS II Stereo Tube Preamp which than goes into a Yamaha AW1600.

I own a small semi private studio in which i've done a lot of & gotten pretty good with recording & engineering vocals, electronic/digital gear and Guitars. However i have been asked by a friend to consider recording a project with a rock band using all real instruments and have no experience at all with Micing drums. I have listed my euipment below..

there are some different possibilities to mic a acoustic guitar.
i'm interested in how you mic guitar and what results you get?
please give me some information!

(acoustic guitar solo, acoustic guitar solo with vocals, acoustic guitar solo with band etc...)

thx

Has anyone ever done this?

I own a venue and I am recording the shows right now by tracking each instrument. Its working, just too much bleed to get that great recording. The room sounds amazing so I want to record the stage area and the mix that with the vocals. Im looking at these two mics..just kinda wanted to see if anyone on here has anything bad or good to say about these two mics.
