AA2 - Semester 3 - Week 3

The objective for this week was to experiment some recordings of a guitar amplifier.
There were obviously several microphones an also different positioning techniques.
As apparent in the picture below, I examined few microphones and different positions...I used a PZM mike, an SM58, an AKG414, a Sennheiser MD421 and I also used the result of the Direct Input; which ended up being present in all the final 3 mixes.
1st mix: microphones are close to the amplifier; the mix is the results of the DI, AKG and Sennheiser.2nd: mics are in a distance of about 10 inches from the amp; DI and SM583rd: mics are about a meter away from the amp; DI and MD421.
