Home Recording Solution For Guitarists

Use the hiss of an amp to place your microphone   13-Aug-10

In this video Chris Baseford, Recording Engineer for The Public Mayhem, shows how artists using home studios can use the hiss and buzz of an amp to place the microphone for the tone they want.

Shifting the microphone around the amp speaker, you can use the hiss of the amp to test the characterstics of the sound. Higher frequency hiss will produce a brighter sound, for chugging metal riffs place the microphone in the position with buzzy lower end frequencies.
