How I record electric guitars at home

Most recorded music we love was recorded by mic’ing a cab.
Wilson!!!!!!

Great video. Which amp is that, please?

Ive been recording amp to mic lol.

Nice one! And nice mic selection, I own both Lewitt ones, the LCT 440 PURE being my favourite for everything. But I recently discovered how great is mixing in a ribbon mic, in my case an inexpensive Superlux R102, it's actually closer to what we usually hear in the room.

me who records both amp with mic and DI signal :')

The more AIR the better, I think.

Great video I really needed this

Novice players sitting alone in their practice space like to dial in their tone based on how they want their guitar to sound alone without a band (or with their band in their cheap practice room with bad acoustics). Then when it comes time to record they insist on having that same tone yet many times it doesn't sound as good as it could in the context of the whole band in a particular room with a particular mic setup. Your video indirectly perpetuates this ignorance suggesting that they can have their own tone even though their tone is clouding the mix. Regardless, thanks for the video; lots of good info.

Try mic'ing from the back.

So you’re doing headphone monitoring a few feet from your amp. Do you not have issues with hearing the sound coming from the amp speaker and penetrating the headphones so that you’re sort of hearing two guitar signals?

Hello, I have the Lewitt 440 pure condenser microphone recommended in the video. I used the microphone to record my amp 2 days ago. I am also very pleased with the results. However, while surfing the internet, I read that condenser microphones are damaged by applications that contain high volumes, such as recording amplifiers. I've been doing research for 2 hours with the suspicion that I might have damaged my microphone, and I was happy to find the video directly from the brand. Do you think I should continue recording my amplifier with peace of mind with my microphone? While recording, the distance between the amplifier and my microphone was approximately 7-10 centimeters and the performance lasted about 30 minutes. Your answer will give me great relief. Thank you in advance, Lewitt family.

Dude even can’t switch on subtitles. Dislike 👎

Recording from amp in a cab gives to the sound a dimensional and tangible effect, a feeling of reality that digital lacks. Now day music as us, has a nature deficit disorder.
