(shutup) Anyhow, what's your opinion on my old SM58 hangin' off the Boogie? <<<<<<<<<<<< It's the way I've always done it, but I have a pimple faced sound kid tellin' me I need to change my ways.

AXE® Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 Killing is fine ... Omni directional and works fine like that ... Less hardware to carry around also ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Murph.[/quote'] That's not an uncommon technique and if you like the way it sounds, stick with it; I usually angle guitar amp mics so it's not like they're pointing directly at the speaker anyway. The way I work, if it sounds good it IS good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm an old weekend warrior, but hey, I'll probably do 50 Sat. nights this year...... Thanks to all, and................. Best of luck....... Murph.

I've had a few drinks too. I have made the assumption you've had a few, perhaps it's just your normal way for a Friday night. If so my advice is start drinking.

Just shoot the damn thing in the head... If you want to really make it fun, tell him he can have it his way and place the mic as he wants to... once he gets to it, kick him in the head at will. Really... if that's the way you have used it for some time and it gives you the desired results, there's no one who can tell you to do otherwise.

NeoConMan Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 Hmmmm.... If you wanna split hairs, I think the SM-57 is more suited to what you're doing. :-) Look at the Shure site, if I recall they have extensive how-to stuff on there for aiming, positioning, etc..... Probaly where the sh!t-head kid got his "knowledge" before he decided to correct you. Does it work? Especially at moderate volumes, I see no problem with it. No way the mic will see enough travel/excursion to be damaged. Rock on Dude! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homz Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 What do you think of the E609 Senheizer for guitar amp micing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dynadude Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 I'd use an isolated stand, but that's just me. I tend to be a little anal about stuff touching the grill cloth. If it works for you, I don't see any problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Homz Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 I don't want anyone think I'm running from the good fight, but since I haven't slept in about 25 hours and probably wont until I get back from laser tag with the kids this morning, I probably wont be here after for most of Saturday.

daveinspain Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 Miking your amp that way is fine... Might be a little better in a stand facing the amp head on but not by much... I just noticed Neo is back.... Welcome back Neo, when did that happen? I'm on vacation and haven't been stopping by as much... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
