How to Mic a Guitar Cab with 1 or 2 Mics 

you are awesome! this is the most professional and yet easy to understand channel I've come across. Of course I'm already subbed. Thanks for your help and time doing this service.

I'm mic'ing guitar through my home stereo system with a condenser mic. Don't have a DAW either. Be cool if there were tutorials for THAT. Not totally opposed to DAWs but I can't afford to spend money on anything I can't use or wouldn't like & seems you can't get your money back for software so I'd be stuck with it. ...be nice if they offered free trial or something but of course that's too much to ask I guess (some claim to offer free trial but none of them actually worked. & Others that claim to be free don't work either. I guess that's fine if you've got money to waste or know someone else with a DAW you can try out but many of us don't have either of those.) 😐

Are you flipping phase through "analog" gear instead of doing it in your DAW?

Is this the regular mesa 212 cab or the compact model? Thanks for your time.

Great video! I have two questions! 1) how far away is the amp head from the cab? 2) Can someone, instead of re align the mics, just move the waveform back or forth? Thanks in advance for your reply!

Great stuff, I’m glad to see you posting more vids! 🤘

I have questions... Since the edge of a speaker will be closer to the Royer mic than the center is to the 57 mic do you compensate for that? Also, since the slope of the paper of the speaker makes it almost impossible to line up the diaphram of the mic with the paper of the speaker what are your thoughts on that. And, what about the 3 to 1 rule for phase cancellation? Why don't you put the mics on seperate speakers? Thanks for your time and consideration. I was a live engineer for over 50 years and now am doing a small studio. How do you think things differ between the two? Oh, BTW, by putting the cabinet on the case, you have just created a source of resonance. This is exactly why God invented milk crates. Cheers

Great channel. Love the tips Question: when you mix 2 mics on a cab, how do you process them? Process each mic individually or sum together and process the aux?

*Thanks very much! This is the best tutorial about putting a mic to your cab. 🎥🏆🎶🎵 I’m always trying to get the sound as good as possible in my own videos so this really helps! 🐇🇺🇸⭐️🎶 Have a happy Easter! Again, thank you!*

The one thing that missing from alot of cab micing vids... The signal chain from cab/mic/Preamp?/Interface?/DAW? What happens before it is brought into the interface, if anything?

I see in his DAW that it said L guitar for the mics. I'm guessing that you have to do L and R recordings through an amp then?

Well, for years I do it with a single 57 but today I use a Sennheiser E906 on Speakermiddle and at the border a sm57 and this is my ultimate Metalguitartone, straight into a Focusrite Isa Two and blow me away

I like that you use 2x12 instead of 4x12, I feel its gives different punch to the rhythm \m/

is a mesa boogie horizontal or compact 2x12 ?

flipping the polarity not the phase..

Anyone know what those panels are he’s using next to the cabinet and where to get them?

Excellent video. My favourite combination for micing guitar!

I like it and I want you to making a video about setting up a Drum Recording Microphone

anyone ever use a room mic for guitar recording?

That's cool. What camera did u use to record this video?

I like using a e609 i get a better tone than a 57.

I have that same ART Ribbon mic and I've tried it on a guitar cab--it's surprisingly cool. Got a great snarl to it.

This is super helpful. What preamps are you using?

Thanks man, very useful!

6:10 its almost as if it was already phase inverted, hmmm :D

So very helpful, educational at that.

very cool video thx for the leason!

Amazing!! Thanks, Jordan!

huge clipping

In your course do you cover how to mix double or quad tracked guitars so that they sound great in mono as well as in stereo?

Super helpful

Awesome, my man. Do you also use a mic/two mics for the room tone?

Super helpful video!

Awesome video!!

Honestly very relieving. This is essentially what I've been doing for a long while now but with a Heil PR30, but I think i need to give the SM57 a real try with my next session. I've been thinking about adding extra mics and all but I think I'm just gonna keep it simple.

This was great. Thanks! Question: Sometimes in lieu of double-tracking, mixers will duplicate a track, pan it opposite, and delay it somewhere within the Haas window (5-30ms) for thickening. Would you ever intentionally keep a short timed offset (under 30ms) of your second mic - with its different tone - and pan it oppositely (rather than combine it to mono) for a combined thickened sound?
