Recording help?!

soloben347 · 07-05-2008, 01:48 PM

Hey I'm not sure if this is the right area to post this so I'm going to post it somewhere else to but...

I've been doing lots of recording latley and i have a fairley decent mic but everytime i record the guitar sounds real thin no matter how i mic the amp...

And It's not the amp because in reality my sound is thick and nice...

Any help?

Thanks

Where is mic placement? If you're close to the center of the speaker it's going to have more treble. A little off center of the speaker and you'll get a bassier sound.
