myspace.com/jessenoah Posted March 5, 2010 Share Posted March 5, 2010 try and get your amp on a good surface, wood, concrete, something thing that will open up the acoustics of the room, in the past I have set a mic up right nect to the speaker, and one about 10 ft away, you can combine the levels of the 12 mics, or choose whatever mic sounds better to you, dont spend more then 5 takes trying to do something-it will cause frustration and or madness, always listen to the soundman/songwriter for good advice, bring a few different guitars, lots of different tones make for diversity and good contrast, understand each instrament's role, bass is for bottom, cymbals and snares are for brightness, guitar is for melody and body, pay attention to the click track there are lots of little tricks, but in the end, time is money, go in well rehearsed, nail your parts, thank the studio owners, and get out! these are things that have worked well for me in the past Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myspace.com/jessenoah Posted March 5, 2010 Share Posted March 5, 2010 I just re-read that you will be doing the recording @ home, so make sure to experiment and have fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
