Members billythegoat Posted February 27, 2012 Members Share Posted February 27, 2012 Finally got around to testing out the Apex 440 USB mic I got for Christmas. Not a demo for the mic, the gear or a great testament to my playing or producing abilities. Just whipped this together when I had a chance to steal the computer away this afternoon. It is what it is, enjoy http://soundcloud.com/billythegoat/sunday-apex-440-test Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members billythegoat Posted February 27, 2012 Author Members Share Posted February 27, 2012 Oh and I used Audacity, I know it isn't the best but it's free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members knotty Posted February 27, 2012 Members Share Posted February 27, 2012 Sounds good. Nice and Mellow. Quite hypnotic, I could have nodded off? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members billythegoat Posted March 3, 2012 Author Members Share Posted March 3, 2012 Sweet! Thanks! If work pisses off for a few hours this weekend hopefully I can relax and actually get a whole song down. A little more upbeat of course. Ya I am really impressed with Boss on that RV-5, I was using the Hall setting pretty much cranked. I love the Room setting and almost always run with that on. As for the amp, Low input and the dial sitting around about 9 out of 12. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members cratz2 Posted March 3, 2012 Members Share Posted March 3, 2012 Fendery cleanness... drippy reverb... atmospheric melancholy... right up my alley. I really liked it. I'm surprised you could get an SG into a Champ 600 to be quite that bright. Did you tweak the EQ in Audacity? Regardless, I really liked it.

Members billythegoat Posted March 3, 2012 Author Members Share Posted March 3, 2012 Haha Thanks! No tweaking, just slammed the mic right up against the grill and hit record. I am very new at home recording. I have recorded in a studio a hand full of times and tried to absorb as much as I could but it was a bit overwhelming and the guy moved so quickly.The amp is stock other than an old GE 12AX7. I had adjusted the pickups on the SG to taste a while ago. I have always played a Telecaster so I am assuming I just subconsciously tried to emulate that tone.

Members Tone Deaf Posted March 3, 2012 Members Share Posted March 3, 2012 Nice tones. The tune itself has kind of an Ennio Morricone meets Metallica vibe to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members codecontra Posted March 3, 2012 Members Share Posted March 3, 2012 Impressive sound quality for a fairly low end mic. Nice song as well. Good job!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
