The dangers of getting stuck in your own way are many. Just because something has worked for someone over 10, 20, 30, or 40 years, does not mean things can't be improved or simplified. Also, it's fun to learn new things! Those "Aah! I hadn't thought of that" or "I didn't know that!" moments are great.

@MICKEYISLOWD 4 года назад

Nobody knows it all. This applies to every industry. I worked in Plastic extrusions for 12 yrs and knew less than 5% of what is out there. We made custom profiles which requires yrs of experience to do my job however every yr things change with different technology coming and going so you never actually learn more and more. Now I own 2 window cleaning businesses but this is much simpler and I get 5 times the money I got before so I can hopefully retire before I am nearly 70 yrs old...lol which is going to be the retirement age in the UK most likely in the future. Either that or I can pay you to work for me so I can stay home playing my guitar and reading science literature on Climate Change..lol.

Another good technique is, having the mics in phase, taking one as the principal, flip the polarity on the second or other mics and just bring it up until you get the most cancellation and then flip polarity again. That way you get everything at its fullest if that's what you want, instead of choosing darker or brighter (which you really do when choosing the principal mic), you just get full power. Hope it helps to someone, cheers.

@Clean97gti 6 лет назад

Old trick my dad taught me, I used for recording animal sounds back in a high school biology class when I didn't want ambient room noise, was to stick the SM58 on a stand and put it in a carboard box that something shipped in. Arrange the soft celled foam to remove any odd peaks or corners, and cover any cardboard and slide it right up to the cage. You can punch a hole in the cardboard to get your cable through, and shove it through the foam. Also works great for speaking parts. Mic in box on a table, and the speaker talks into it = no ambient room noise. Nice to have a parent who was a stagehand and could get gear to play with.

@5urg3x 6 лет назад

For speaking the trick I've always done is put a blanket over your head and put the mic inside the blanket.

@5urg3x 6 лет назад

Laugh all you want but it works very well, you can record voice tracks in your bedroom or living room and have them sound just as good as if they were recorded in a pro studio / vocal booth.

@tombarnaby4842 6 лет назад

Question: Once you create the "tent" around the cab, how do you keep the bass player from camping out in it? Seriously - fantastic video! Other than avoiding analysis paralysis, what is the reason for mixing the two mic signals together at the behringer mixer? I'm surprised you wouldn't want to record both signals then mix them together with the rest of the instruments so you know how the tone would sit in the mix.

@SpectreSoundStudios 6 лет назад

+Tom Barnaby the mixer adds a productive coloration to the guitar tone that a daw won't

@terrydoylemusic 6 лет назад

Tom, the idea is to commit to the sound and as the other parts are put down, the musicians have an idea of what to play against. If you record everything generic, people won't be able to "vibe" to it and you leave all the work for the mixer, who probably wasn't even in the room.

@nerdhound5891 6 лет назад

If you brought both signals into the Daw you could use Two AUX tracks and then set the output of those to an Audio track.

@scoreofallthings4896 6 лет назад

I would imagine bass goes right through it. bass is pretty hard to stop. Only 4 inch thick fiberglass insulation can affect bass frequencies down to 60hz. anything lower would require a brick wall.

@tombarnaby4842 6 лет назад

Thanks Glenn. Makes sense. Maybe someone will make a "Cheap Behringer Mixer" plugin to capture that coloration.

On a serious note, I did something similar back in 2004. Two SM57s in varied positions on a 4x12 with Uhaul blankets slung over the cabinet and mics. Didn't mix before the software though. However, it produced a meatier tone than using one SM57. Just kinda stumbled upon the method trying to find a better tone. Cool video and as always, fuck off!

@JohnNugent92 6 лет назад

You've gotten so much better at playing guitar and your tone is immaculate. It's pretty inspiring!

@CIRCLEOFTONE 6 лет назад

Hell yeah! Making a tight booth for my cabs is the best thing I ever did. I’ve been preaching the audix bass mic coupled with a dynamic mic for tight metal for ages. But I put the bass mic under the cab (it’s on casters) to get a room like sub and blend it in low vs the SM57. Obviously my sm57 is way closer to center to compensate/catch the mids/clarity. For modern metal put it closer obviously (to the grill), but IMO Guitars are getting TOO tight/prominent in metal and I treat the audix mic’s room reflection/sub woofyness like a REVERB track. It gives the vibe of a live recording because the bass mic picks up so much crazyness it keeps it interesting. IMO people are getting jaded with tight in your face eq curve of a Vintage 30/SM57 adnauseum, so the under the cab trick is working great for me. It’s similar to the effect of micing the back of an open back cab. OOMF! Berhinger raise their heads again? Sneap used to use those pres on old Testament.

Thanks Glen! love that you care and share. That cab you have is sweet. I think one thing that slips by is you said make sure the cab you use is TIGHT. That means opening it up and making sure the soundboard and speakers are tight, even the post. I did this like you pointed out and BOOM, a major improvement. My cab was loose as hell. So you Marshall guys, take it to heart. Glen knows, don't fuck around.

@JHamzig 2 года назад

Glenn, I applied this technique to my recordings, and my guitar sound improved significantly! It’s not the best guitar sound by any means. However, at least, it’s tolerable. In addition, I replaced my Peavey 5150 cab speakers with the current EVH speakers. This also improved the sound! Overall, it was expensive to modify and acquire equipment, but it paid dividends. I’m satisfied! Thank you! Much appreciated! PS-I love “Why Can’t This Be Love?” (The song, not the ‘speakers’ lol).

@dcp10200 6 лет назад

The best guitar tone I captured was Hughes and Kettner Tubemeister 36 into a Recto 412 with a 57 and 421 in a sort of Fredman position through a 4 Channel Daking Pre. The 57 on it's own was pretty good sounding and would've been fine, but the 421 and the 57 together sounded amazing without the need for eq besides the obvious high pass and low pass to keep it out of the way of the bass and cymbals . I guess the 57 has a fairly pronounced proximity effect and that's what makes it sound good when it's right up on the source and the 421 balances that out as it has a bit of a presence peak at the top end, using a bright and a dark speaker also enhances those characteristics as well

@eefmydee1slideways 5 лет назад

Not going to lie, I have seen all of your "how to record metal guitar" videos and you definitely had pretty good ideas in your in your previous videos that I have tried and they worked great for me everytime. But this method that you have done here is one of the best metal guitar tones you have ever made with your channel. I will be looking into this mixers as well and rocking a dual mic setup.

@Patryk-Szczupakowski 2 года назад

I found this tutorial very useful! Thank you, Glenn!

@headlesssoldier 5 лет назад

cool vid. I actually did all of these things he mentions just by instinct back in the day. my local band would track our stuff on blaceface adats, and take it to the old Smart Studios to mix. And a couple of the engineers there we're impressed by my guitar sounds. Then again, those guys weren't into those types of sounds. From whatever pre you use, I quickly discovered that high quality pre's didnt work as easily as a Bob Mackie cheapy. The thing about a distorted guitar is many times high quality mics and pre's expose the sound too much. They can really take the excitement and turn distorted sounds into generic oddities. And amps these days? in the late 80s you had to make a heavy sound. I used to mic the back of a Cab to get low mid thump (sort of worked) or used a BBE. Anything you could find to get that low end. Bill Lawrence pickups. all sorts of eqs in effects loops etc etc. anything. these days? lol. You can buy that sound from any of the popular ready made amps available. All you have to do is get it clear and your most of the way there. One thing I used to do...and I maybe crazy...but I would check the sound by panning it one side. When it sounded like a punchy, focused sound...as if the monitor were the amp itself...I knew I had it. Anway...Great channel.

oh and a question: do you sum all that to mono in your daw or how did you do that? the mixer seems to send stereo?

@SpectreSoundStudios 6 лет назад

+Chris Wacker you can pan to one side if you like, but it's mono down the center. Seemed cleanest.

@MidlifeRenaissanceMan 6 лет назад

Chris Wacker I'll second Glenn's advice. I have been playing with the two mic trick. one on an open back combo and a second on a quad running off a slaved Bassman. I've tried splitting them in the pan by varying degrees, but it's most natural when they are panned identical in the mix. To be clear, I had two tracks on the DAW, and I summed them there. I haven't got the luxury of a sound booth. I have to evaluate after the fact Glenn, the secret with the Behringer pre is the transistors they use on the input. The chips are so so, but the differential amp input uses discrete components, well at least that is the case on the ADAT rack. Apparently they are some magic silicon which just works well.

@lutboy2909 6 лет назад

of cource, behringer it puts care to its input circuits, I do not say that it is the great thing since for what it is worth not expect great quality, but in terms of quality / price are the best, I use a Xenyx X2442USB for events, and the truth it was fun to use 2 or 3 mic for the guitar line, the faithful sm57, a Peavey - Pvm 325y when it was not available the 325 used an sm58, all using the sm57 base, as far as the cabinet was used from classic marshall (jensse speakers ) until some home made the joke is, this console has a very noble pre-amplification stage, and works excellently to play with the tone of the amplifier

My First good recordings were through an 802!! I used a cheap $10 Small Diaphragm condenser mic (Takstar PCM-6100), a Radio Shack # 33-128 Super-Cardiod, and a marshall 15w bass Practice amp on the "Classic" channel. Sat it under the cushions on the couch and shredded away, recording into an old windows XP PC with onboard audio to the line in on Cakewalk ProAudio 9!! A Long time ago, and certainly not a place I wish to return HAHA!! Now I run my mics (still have all those PCM6100s and RS mics tho) into a 24ch RAMSA and record on an HD24. It's amazing what you can do with the cheapest shit available!

No I mean for other instruments as well. Drums especially. I don't know how many times I've been sent files with the overheads and rooms clipping like crazy due to people running the mics too hot.

@lpsdogolpsgoodtime1852 6 лет назад

So I noticed you have to wires at the eurorack's outputs. I know you don't have the Mics panned, so are you sending a stereo signal out of the eurorack into your interface? Or are you sending a mono signal?

@zyxwfish 2 года назад

It should be mono. Don’t know why he has it like that. Maybe just for this video.

@HydrillaTx 6 лет назад

So, where do the outputs from the Behringer mixer go into the interface/DAW, and do you pan them left and right?

@m0th3rst4r 4 года назад

you mix the two into one track. use a line input.

@TrentCrawfordMusic 4 года назад

That was gonna be my question... so you have to record them blended to get the effect? Or can you record both separately to a track each and blend in DAW?

@mrcoatsworth429 3 года назад

@@TrentCrawfordMusic yes, he's recording the blended guitar tones as one track. This is called analog summing (= blending signals together using analog gear). Some people think it sounds better than summing inside the daw, because of the subtle things that happen inside the analog equipment, like saturation, compression etc.

@thekramer1097 4 года назад

@xxNeosxx 4 года назад

He did a single track, anyway if you record multitrack is a nice experiment to check different combinations with the same recording guitar

@krakulandia 4 года назад

The technology has moved forward a lot since the 1960s. You get high end results with very cheap gear these days. Almost all modern preamps (even the extremely cheap ones on the cheapest mixers) are of super high quality. There is usually no audible difference in almost any of them when compared to dedicated multi-thousand dollar ones. There is no magic to the relatively simple preamp circuit. It’s cheap to design and manufacture really high quality ones, especially with modern electronics component tolerances. Gearslutz is to be blamed on making the preamp selection a religion. The cheapest preamps might have a little more hiss, but thats about it. I.e. they are not more muddy sounding. Another religion inside the recording industry is the audio interface quality: “I can definitely hear a difference between your $300 audio interface compared to my $3000 one.” No you can’t. The quality of the ADC/DAC chips and their amplification circuits (when comparing between the cheap and expensive ones) has been of so high quality for the past 10-15 years already, that the signal differences they produce are well below the capabilities of human hearing.

@jtubef8620 3 года назад

While this is somewhat true, there isn't "no difference", between a vintage Neumann through an SSL vs. a B4 through an 18i20, for example. You can get great results, but don't try to tell me that they're the same quality and will sound essentially the same. They aren't and they won't.

@mrcoatsworth429 3 года назад

Huge difference between my old Behringer UMC and my new Audient interface. The Audient preamp is so much quieter.

@ArcadeMusicTribute 3 года назад

Dude - I've invested 2000 eur in 2x Neve 1073 preamp 10 years ago and I never looked back. It has been my working horse ever since and I never regreted the decision. I've liked Apis better on guitars but only slightly. You can use cheap preamps all you want and I believe you can get good results but I'll just stick with my Neve. I mean 2k is a lot of money but I've been using it for 10 years on all of my recordings and intend to use it forever and ever.

@scarlettaudio7424 6 лет назад

Hey Glen I’m Curious why did you use the 57 as the dark mic and not on the cone?

@BillHesse 5 лет назад

I believe the idea is that the 57 pics up the mids and the tom mic adds the bass and treble.

@alexanderhansen5452 4 года назад

The high end would be over-accentuated by the SM57s hiss and fizziness if it was the bright mic. Similarly with the low end being accentuated by the tom mic, if it was used as the dark mic. Placing them in their contrasting positions helps tame those frequencies from sounding harsher, thus making the blend much easier without carving their EQs to fit.

They aren't hard panned, so they mix together thru a stereo output

@pmw928 6 лет назад

Vincent master bassist Distorted guitars have the mids turned up to cut through the mix. When you already have the bass on the low end, you need the guitar to occupy a different tonal range, otherwise you have two instruments competing instead of complementing each other. It might sound a little thin on its own, but when the bass and drums are added in, you get the full range of sounds for the mix.

The ART Studio V3 is a prime example of low cost, great value. Voicing options, tube swaps and a very responsive gain stage makes for lots of room to tweak it. Getting absolutely fantastic results with low cost mics and not-so-ideal acoustic environments
