How to Mic an Electric Guitar - Microphone Placement on an Amp

[EvelcyclopS]

he might be a grammy nominee, but the playing here is a bit vicars piss to understand the key diffrences with the tone

[soundpurestudios]

@EvelcyclopS Well our English isn't that great over here [we are Americans and only dabble in the language]. The playing is the playing, the recording of the playing is the recording of the playing. If you can't hear the difference in the microphone placements, there really isn't much we can do about that - but thanks for listening.

I would love if you could do this type of video with a hi-gain amp and a low-tuned guitar :D

[soundpurestudios]

@kevaso It's difficult to contemplate everyone's needs, but the results of this technique are equally brilliant in a variety of situations... look for more tutorials coming from us. However, in the meantime, if you have some questions about what gear would be ideal for your particular situation, please don't hesitate to contact us by phone +1-919-682-5552, or e-mail audio@SoundPureDOTcom. We have a ton of high-gain amps recorded on our actual website.

Did anyone else notice the video intro says "Boutique Guitars" yet only shows boutique amplifiers?

@lastdaysguitar They show tons of boutique guitars? Not sure what you're talking about.

@lastdaysguitar Indeed, this is a picture of amps, in our guitar showroom. Not sure if it is the semantics that bother you, but rest assured we have plenty of 6-stringed instruments to keep the most discriminating of guitar aficionados fully engaged!

[lastdaysguitar]

@soundpurestudios I'm sure you DO have guitars, that's the point! Since the market IS recording arts and QUALITY production, the intro could have been put together a bit better, i.e.: you don't show a drum set and have the word "keyboards" - it's a small point, but even saying "guitars and amps" would have made it a bit better - and worthy of mention.

Not a huge deal, it's just a production call, so don't be offended - it's your video - if YOU are happy with it, that's fine..

[soundpurestudios]

@lastdaysguitar In our mind, "guitars" is defined much wider than just the things that we sell with six strings. We represent the entire world of high-end, serious, and collectable modern instruments, amps, and pedals. If you haven't been to our website, please don't hesitate to give it a try, I have little doubt that you will find what you are looking for.

@lastdaysguitar your point? are you mad, this vid was great, could have just left a comment saying thanks.

[lastdaysguitar]

@irockyouroll Well actually there is nothing new in the info - though it was well presented. I think you may want to read where I said: Not a huge deal, it's just a production call, so don't be offended - it's your video - if YOU are happy with it, that's fine..
