At 6:55 he explains that he gets both mics sounding great, than flips the phase switch in one of the preamps and pushes the faders up until he gets phase issues...
Now how can you get phase issues by raising the faders? Or did he mean changing the mic positions until he gets the most phase elimination?
@unclefish You raise one fader (so one mic) on the board. Then you raise the second fader (so the other mic). Phase issues between the two mics will be heard best when the two levels are alligned. If you flip the phase of one of the two inputs, while blending in the other fader, the sound will get thinner and thinner until you reached the point where it is most thinned out. Flip the phase on that input again. The opposite will occur: So the fattest sound! Cheers!
This might be a silly question, but why does one use a microphone to record sound coming off a speaker? Why not just use a cable from the guitar to a recording device?
Yup! I use a VOX with my Gibsons and Rickenbackers, and I like the sound. However, I have never tried hooking the guitars directly up to a computer or another recording device. I have read about how some artists do this - I think it's called DI? Must be short for Direct ...something. I would think this sound would be more "clean". If you want to records music from the radio, you would use cables into a recorder. Not a microphone to the speakers. So I still don't get it...
Im pretty sure that what there is to know is endless, this is a good simple place to start, it has helped alot for someone as green as myself , so much music so little time ,thanks a bunch
You forgot about Parkway Drive!
