Tips & Techniques For Recording Guitar With Multiple Amps (Video)

Tuesday, October 20th, 2009

Here’s a very interesting video series on recording guitar in the studio from Ken Lewis. It includes information on amp choice, microphone choice, etc. Great examples of ribbon mics and condenser mics are included.

Here’s an introduction from Ken:

I am currently producing rock band “MIGGS” for RockRidge Records (Fall 2009). These videos show my guitar recording techniques for electric guitars on the album. I have the luxury of Miggs owning several really great amps to record and the tones have been really amazing. These videos show mostly how I’m mic’ing the amplifiers and using several guitar amps at once to record a single electric guitar. Enjoy! – Ken Lewis

To demonstrate just how roadworthy the venerable Shure SM58 is (and the Shure SM57), the good ol’ boys at Shure literally shot out their microphones with high-powered firearms.

How did the microphones hold up? Check it out and see for yourself:
