this is how we do it…
When recording more is often less… in that you can decide not to use a track at the mixdown stage but you can’t (other than by digitally cloning) whip up a track out of thin air if it wasn’t recorded… well at the recording stage.
So that’s why at dbstudios you’ll often see us multi-miking in situations where many engineers may save themselves time and energy by using just one source microphone. Above is the way we miked Sam Hooper’s Fender Deluxe Reverb for his rhythm tracks.
An M-Audio Luna over the cone edge (which we later digitally cloned and panned to -33 and a Shure 57 which we later dropped through an Eleven LE vintage amp simulator and panned to +33). The resultant clean, rich, warm sound can be heard on Sam’s forthcoming album recorded at #dbstudios where the “only limit is your imagination”.
