Recording Pictures (2)

 This is a picture of how the guitar parts were recorded. As you can see we simply placed a SM58 up to the amplifier.
The amplifier used is a Class A valve amp made by Laney. The guitar was plugged into the low infidelity setting and by using a microphone it allowed me to gain all the tonal qualities of the microphone. 

Instead of  placing a microphone on the bass amp we simply plugged an XLR in the line out of the AMP and ran it directly to the mixer. Although this could be said to sound toneless I will later mix and produced the channel to have a vibrant and healthy sounding tone. The AMP being used is the Fender Rumble 100.

 Another picture of how we recorded the Bass parts.

 From this picture you can see how we used the Glyn Johns technique to record the drums. There is more about this technique on the research section of my blog.

We ran all the channels to be recorded into the Logic Pro X audio interface. This was because at college we have easy access to the software and all of my tutors at college are experienced in how to operate it. You can also see in this picture the different channels for the different microphones.

 This picture just demonstrates how the signals were ran from microphones/amps to Logic Pro X via the mixer and audio interface. Although we never used the monitors to listen back to recordings as I found earphones to be of higher quality.

 This is just a picture of me sound testing the guitar to make sure we were getting a balanced signal. The keyboard was later removed from the room.

The pillow was placed over the microphone to try and reduce any of the sound coming from the drum kit being picked up by the mic on the guitar amp.
