  • This is a tutorial on using a multi-microphone setup on your guitar amps, and how to phase the correctly. This is one of a few different ways, but this is the way I do it!

    Let's call it Phase Alignment not phasing.
    Another trick, invert the polarity of one mic and move it until you get the most cancellation, the most nasty fizz in the combined signal. Then change the polarity to normal again and BOOM the two mics are in ideal phase. This also works for mics at different distances and even in an amp sim like Amplitube 3.

    This is a great video... but what if I add an condensor room mic.. will there be a huge phase problem going on ?

    Thanks fluff for helping me dual mic my guitar amp for the first time (without phasing!). I used a sm57 and a se r1 ribbon and it sounds amazing! Thanks again :D

    Hey Fluff, You really read my mind. In your latest video I asked about your multiple mic recording and you send me a answer and now you post a video about that...Great!! You are the top five!

    Super technical diagrams are awesome. Lol. That's why I'm subscribed to this channel. Funny stuff however you do explain things in a way almost anyone can understand. I've just started to get involved in recording and this video makes perfect sense. Well done sir.

    Great video - Very helpful! Is there a benefit of using dual mic, vs recording individual tracks with each mic? For example, I usually do 4 recordings: 2 with the SM57, and 2 with the e609. I would think the advantage of using the individual mics would produce 4 unique tracks (that help fatten up the sound), vs. doing the dual mic technique (where I believe you are getting the same amount of tracks, but 2 pairs would be identical?). Thank you!

    I actually run 2 separate rigs live. I also add 37ms delay to one rig as well as angle the cabs slightly away from each other.

    instead of moving microphone can I just move the take in the DAW ? Same result ?

  • @hoobastanker9
    @hoobastanker9 10 років тому

    Hey Fluff,
    I tried this with my SM57 and E906 (not 609) but when I record they're 180degrees out of phase, when I phase invert the file i'm aligned perfectly, so i know my mics and in the right positions. Only problem is, I just wish they were 180degrees out of phase to start with, i'm using the same mics as you, same cab, and same DAW and i just can't understand how you got them right? I'd really appreciate any help mate!

    I really like that percussive trick. I usually just look at the metering plugin in Logic that also measures phase but I like this better.

    how you do it, is very good thank you for this video it helps me a lot with amplitube 4 in case of 2 amps

    Does stereo linking microphones help with phase alignment?

  • @jackwoodley95
    @jackwoodley95 7 років тому

    When doing this how do you have each guitar panned? Or do you route both mics to another channel and then double track them? :)

    If a band has only one guitarist, but wants to mimic 2 would this technique work for a live setting?

    is it wise to record the delays and reverbs into the amp and into the mic or is it best to add them after with reamping?

    Hey man what do u think an equivalent for the Vintage 30's would be ?? From WGS I know they have the Veteran 30's (Saw your video, awesome as always) But what about a speaker from Eminence ?? Thanks

    have you ever used a 3 mic set up or do you do 2 separate recordings for L/R/C.

  • @thesonicexperience4590

    Since the low frequencies are of a longer wavelength, they are more susceptible to cancellation. This is why when you have noticeable phase cancellation, it causes the tone to sound thin and lacking low end. The short wavelengths of high frequencies pass by so quick that they don't pose as much an issue. So in my opinion when checking phase like this, you should let some low notes sustain for a second and make sure they're lined up. ..or just use your ear to decide what sounds best because you can get some cool tones when the phase isn't lined up so close. Good shit though dude.

    stereo on one track instead of two individual track.. is that the same??

  • @Nichaelesv

    dude, it never dawned on me to do this, i just fucked with it when it sounded out of phase. thanks for the tutorial!

  • @issaccartwright736
    @issaccartwright736 10 років тому

    not everyone knows this, maybe you do? but on logic, you can zoom in by holding down where you drop the timeline and dragging it down. i discovered it by accident but saves messing about with moving that slider at the bottom of the screen.

    which mic do you recommend if you had to pick one? The Shure SM57 or the Senheiser e609?

    • @GrassFed67
      @GrassFed67 8 років тому

      my sm57 sounds pretty nasaly, so I'd go with the 609. From what comparison videos I've seen, the sm57 has more bottom end, while the 609 has a wider range and is more clear

    it's about constructive interference (in phase) and destructive interference (out of phase)

  • @Aramgeddon
    @Aramgeddon 11 років тому

    Makes sense but when you move a track about 30 samples to be in phase with the other one it wouldn't make a difference in time because its a change that small you couldn't ever hear it.

    Fluff instead of moving mics wat abt just movin and using the DAW to put in phase ???

    • @riffsnreviews
      @riffsnreviews 8 років тому +1

      That is what I was thinking, you can phase the tracks up after recording, the only disadvantage is that you can't monitor the recording, so I guess phasing them is better, actually you can just phase them via monitor aswell but using a DAW to phase should be more precise.

    • @Dartheomus
      @Dartheomus 7 років тому +1

      Yeah, but then you can put both mikes individually where they sound best. Then you can phase them up later. For monitoring, you probably really don't need stereo anyway.

  • @shred_alaska
    @shred_alaska 11 років тому

    or you could just you know flip the waveform in your DAW if they are opposite wave forms ie one goes up when one goes down, mirror, that's true phase.

    You should not let the Phase dictate where to put the Mic's just flip polarity on one of the inputs. Problem solved.
