Hey man, do you think you can do a kind of a tutorial video on how do you process real mic guitars? Thanks a lot for your videos!!!

@Torqueofficial Yep will do.

I have had such a hard time getting good mic placement and guitar tone. 1.2k is a weird place to boost, at least in my experience, but I don't think my starting tone is the best either. I guess I'll just have to turn down the amp to hear it better in my headphones when looking for the sweet spot

@dreaminginnoother Yeah man I try and keep the amp as low as possible when dialing it in, with the headphones very loud to drown it out. I don't want to hear the cab at all.

Impressive video. This really shows the sonic differences slightly adjusting the mic can make. Thanks for posting.

@fearcomplexmusic: OK, thanks. I think i've found an EQ plugin i quite like now ;)

[dreaminginnoother]

@fearcomplexmusic I'll take your advice for next time, even though it seems like it should have been self evident:P. Thanks, and thanks for your videos.

@Prs4ever111 Can't remember which one sorry. Probably just the stock Reaper EQ.

[Prs4ever111]

What EQ plugin are you using?
