Heres a tip guys no matter how many watss your amp is if you dont push alpt of air its not gonna sound big bold and loud. Like a marahall stack with 4*12 speakers and a 100 watt head will send better then the exace same 100 watt amp but in combo form enen though the wiring and tubes and everything is the same abd only difference is tha tits runnign a single 12" soeaker of the same brand and type and everything as the 4*12 with a 100 watt head of same amp will never spund the same gotta move air and the more air the speakers move the better it sounds. And that's why when I'm playing smaller gigs like an enclosed bars and stuff I don't use my 100 w vintage modern full stack or even as a half stack I use a 50 to 100 w Marshall tube amp and then I only turn it up to five on the volume and then I have it miced up to the PA system so that way the more speakers moving more air makes it sound bigger bolder and more bassier and louder than if I just ran it off the amp by itself if I ran it off just the amp without a microphone and being micked up and running through the front of the house it would sound terrible compared to being miked up especially being on stage and not moving enough air and not enough sound projected out to the crowd That's why when you hear garage bands then the guitar is only using the amp and the drums aren't micked up and stuff like that it doesn't sound the same as a band that's playing live in a bar club it's all mic up
Wonder if a room mic paired with this technique could help it sound even bigger?
Adding in some room mic helps, too.
Nice Tudor BB58 ????????????
i can relate this to singing too close to a microp
hone not getting any highs, what say you on this?
🙂
Maybe it is just my phone speaker, but the mic sounds better further away to me.
I did not know that
That actually makes no sense bass waves travel a very long, loping pattern, and sound louder the farther away you get from the source… if you want more low end use a condenser microphone 3 ft away from the front about eye level from the cone, then use another dynamic microphone shoved into the back… open back combos sound great when they are placed about 3-5 ft from a nice reflective surface

If I can tell the difference on my phone speaker you’ve done a good job
Omni mics don't have a proximity effect.
Maybe? ????????‍♂️
Be wary of proximity effect, this might be good advice for some guitar amps but on bass and acoustic guitars it is an effect you want to avoid.
This may sound like a dumb question, what are the microphones plugged into? Are they plugged into the same amp?
Sound good
The first few bars of that guitar reminded me of the intro to “Angry Eyes” by Loggins and Messina.
So are you then running both the mic and the guitar into the amp? Or into a mixer, I’ve been playing for a couple years but not really experienced in recording or for that matter effects.

If you want to pick up the bass register of a guitarr, dont use a microphone that hardly pick up any bass frequencies. The sm57 is not ideal for this purpose, be mindful of what equipment can handle the job you need it to do. If you get a good mic with a broader and more linier frequency line, you will have a better result and not have to rely EQs and such in order to "save" the recording.
