First mic'ed up clip in the new place, first new clip of the new year. Used these fancy fuckin' things, which I've owned for about three or four years but never actually tried out before.




One of them goes to the interface (top one), one of them takes the mic output (bottom one) and a cat5 / ethernet cable connects them. Can take four mics that way. Works well since in the new place I have room to set up the amps in another room, far enough away to not be screaming in my ears the whole time I'm recording, and I don't have to keep a whole bunch of cables strung between rooms the whole time. Just one instrument cable, and one network cable, easily would up when not is use.

First time ever mic'ing up a bass amp for my recordings. I may need to work on mic positing a bit there, but it ain't bad for a first shot.



Da clip:

Les Paul Studio into the DSL into the Mesa cab, boosted by Keely SD-1 on the left, Metalzone on the right. M160 in the grill dead center on the speaker.
Jazz Bass into the Darkglass amp, MD421 a few inches out from one of the big speakers, close to centered on the speaker. Maybe just a touch off to one side. Just set levels in the DAW and let her buck. Listening on my living room system, I'd say I need to thin the drums a bit.

Feels good to have the recording setup almost back to full speed. Still missing a chair at the recording desk and a couple accessories for the computer, but I'm gettin' there.

How's the new year going for the rest a ya reprobates?

Sounds ROCKIN GOOD!!!!! I dig the bass tone!!!

I'm too hung over from last night to even think about turning on my DAW...
...and I only had one bottle of sake and half a bottle of Veuve Clicquot!!!

Well that fukkin rocked.

Good rough mix

Thought I heard Metallica in the garage in there. Ha

I thought I had commented on this the other day, but I guess I forgot to press Enter that's fucking great man. The DSL sounds crushing!!! Marshall metal is my favorite type of metal tones it's instantly recognizable.

Thanks for checking it out, dudes. I'm working on re-dialing things, brightening the guitars and taking a bit of mids out of the bass, then re-mixing the drums. Got a song I've been working on since the old house that's about due for another attempt at recording. Hopefully I can get some momentum building after that.

Getting Sepultura vibes! Awesome tone and riffing!

sounds cool dude!! ive not experimented with mic'ing a bass cab yet but its on my list of things to try

This sounds like 1989 (Sepultura but I would also throw a bit of Testament vibes)


Excellent and sounds fantastic

I'll take the Sepultura comparisons. Testament too. Both spent a lot of time blasting my ears over the years.

I put the finishing touches on the recording desk this weekend and started setting up my new templates, so I may actually be able to record some full tunes in the next week or so. Of course, I then managed to cut the tip of my middle finger on my fretting hand while cutting down boxes, and it's ice cold this week so I probably won't heal fast, but that's my typical luck. I may just bleed through it if I get time. Blood seems pretty metal.

Dude that was fat AF. I loved the guitar tones and the bass tones were crushing. Nice work son!
