Sometime back in the early 80's I figured out that using more then 1 mic on anything could & did cause phase issues. As it was normal operating procedure to multi mic everything as requested by most of the engineers & producers at the time. After that, I rarely if ever, use more then 1 mic o...

It totally depends what you are going for on any particular session ! I for one, always record a Di, and and amp. Amp of choice was always my 1969 Ampeg, SVT, until I recently moved into this one room space. Now, I have NO choice but to use a smaller amp. 1st choice now is a vintage Ampeg B-15. Now ...

EXACTLY !

Since I had some down time the other day, I decided to test a few preamps in my place just to confirm what I already believe is true. My thoughts for the last ten years or so have been that the different mic preamp thing has been really blown out of proportion. So that being said. I played a guitar ...
