      Yes it is very pure sounding. Am I the only one who is finding the drums overly loud and the hihats sounding like sleigh bells? I am used to Portnoy's heavier hats. But the drums themselves sound absolutely excellent and deep.

    Is it just me or did anyone else notice the can of Finger Ease JP has to the side on a table? I've been seeing this stuff everywhere and recently bought some in hopes of reducing string squeak while recording. It actually works pretty well. It's nice to know people like JP and Marco Sfogli use something so basic (and cheap) for high-quality recordings.

    so in the first 2:30 you are saying the reason modern music doesn't have any soul is... you got 15 amps and mics to mix and tweek 200 times to come up with something that sounds worse then an 8 track setup right with good mics and natural acoustics settings.

  • @Voxtender
    @Voxtender 5 років тому +7

    So... I'm all for using a couple of mics and blending to get a sound (I use an SM57 and a Royer 121 on every guitar track I record) - I used to use a third mic (MA-200), which I stopped doing because 3 mics really just created more confusion in terms of sonic pallet choices - just isn't necessary considering you can EQ a little to get where you want to be. But 6 mics on two cabs and a room mic???? Just ridiculous. That's $40k worth of gear you're listening to folks -- does it sound like it? Not to me. Sounds like a Kemper Djent sound. Pete Thorn and Tosin Abasi get WAY better sounds with way simpler rigs. Come on Mitch - I can see you thinking...yeah... this is total overkill.

    • @MichaelAE
      @MichaelAE 5 років тому

      The reason for using multiple microphones is not to use them as a glorified EQ flavour. When recording guitars, what you want to do is cover as much of the frequency spectrum as you can. Guitars cover a lot of frequencies and you want as many of them as possible for your recording. Then when you're mixing, you can cut frequencies that are in the way of other instruments, while still having a full guitar sound. Cutting frequencies out of your guitarsound is almost always the best way to go, because it adds less noise than adding frequencies with an EQ and it gives you a more natural sound. Not every mic picks up every frequency, so if you have more to play with, it's almost always going to result in more ways for you to make sure the guitar still sounds good in the mix, because you have a larger amount of frequencies to work with.

      That's not supposed to be heard in solo. From the perspective of how it fits in the mix, it sounds absolutely fantastic and considering this is just the raw guitar tone just from the amp and a lot of processing had to be done as well after the recording session, you are going a bit harsh on it.
