Members gibson5413 Posted July 18, 2012 Members Share Posted July 18, 2012 Hey fellas. I have been on a bit of a classic Rush high as of late. I have been playing around with recording a cover of the tune and decided on my all time favorite, La Villa Stranigiato. I am not good enough on bass so I posted for an existing backing track. I used my Anderson Classic and the Mark IV on RHY 2 (channel 2) boosted with my BB Preamp. I didn't record the intro since it started without me and I wasn't quite ready. Skip to about 1:40 to get to the goods. I am posting two versions: 1. Mic'ed up cab with my Shure 57 and e6092. Audio in the room via my Q3HD (you'll need to turn it up to get the full volume) Anyways, I love the way the amp sounds in the room but struggling finding the right mic placement. Hopefully by saying that I am struggling with mic placement doesn't bias your answer. Maybe it sounds fine and I my ears are a little fatigued. Either way, any best practices when placing a 57 or e609? I guess I shouldn't expect too much since I am a complete amateur in regards to recording experience and equipment. Either way, hope you like the clip. Always loved this tune. I know I bend a bit sharp on a couple of notes but decided to do the whole thing in one take with no overdubs.

Members The Anomaly Posted July 19, 2012 Members Share Posted July 19, 2012 Interesting, I found that same backing track, and I was going to do that as well. Good job. I don't know squat about mic'ing, i haven't mic'd an amp to record in a very long time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
