I have noticed on multiple occasions that my guitar tone may sound
great to my ears, but when listening back to a recording, my ears tell
me that I'm using a little too much distortion.
This is weird - I'm having am identiacl problem, except that when I listen
back, the guitar soumds too clean, although I know it sounded the way I
wanted when I recorded it.
I think I found my answer. I was using an old Shure Mic, and it was
working higher up the frequencey register than I wanted, and basically not
"hearing" all the mid-low growly stuff.
.....I think.
I bought an SM57, and I'm going to try using that, but an even older Shure
Mic that I liberated turned in a more pleasing result than the first Mic.
I should say, I'm not aiming for loads of distortion - just a kind Kossoff
valve howl.
All the best,
