Try to make the crunchy sound sweet and clear (I know crunch and clear are different) but you get what I mean.
If your fingers are't bleeding, your not playing hard enough.

This what you mean? Or less crunch? Just a little AC/DC demo - you shook me all night long because I remember ages ago someone saying they wanted one. Sorry about the solo, kinda fooked up a lot, couldnt be bothered to do it again ;)

exactly what I was talking about.  I love that tone!  Just can't wait till Tim puts his clips (108 or something) on the Bkp site so I can check out the bridge.

Great job!

I thought SM57 was good for home recording...it isnt  :)

why??? arent they exactly what's used in pretty much every mic'd amp situation ever? should sound nice, no?

I'm running it into a M-audio firewire solo and it just dosnt sound good at all, I'm quite dissapointed. If you go to http://www.soundclick.com/williamthorpe and listen to 'Demo 01 (without midrange)' you will see what I mean. Just sounds fuzzy and cr@p :(


Where are you placing the mic?  What amp?  What amp settings? How is the room setup around the speaker?

There are huge amounts of variables in play there, but the SM57 has been used on practically every classic rock/metal album in the last 20-odd years.  There's nothing wrong with the mic.  I've got perfectly good results recording at home with one.

Oh, and it sounds like you may have left your computer monitor on when you were recording, sounds like there's lots of noise through your pickups that can be caused by inteference from a CRT.

Great stuff - Given its a riff raff I wouldn't mind hearing a crunchy tune through a plexi patch (i.e. ANGUS  :band5: )

The monitor is off when I record. I'm running a Les Paul into a DSL 401 amp settings: Mid: 2 o'clock ish Treb: 12 o'clock Bass 1 o'clock ish Gain: 10o'clock downwards, I usually have it higher, but it sounded worse.

I'm running the sm57 into a whurlwind xlr cable into an m-audio firewire solo > Audacity.

I just feel it sounds really really 'grainy' or 'tinny' nothing smooth or crunchy about it with the microphone. I usually have it off centre of the middle of the speaker with about 2 inches away from the grille, any sugestions? Thanks for the help :)

Edit: the monitor was probably on listening to that, whoops :)

There is a Plexi model on guitar rig, any prefered settings? Distortion pedal in front or not?

The things you have to remeber about recording with an SM 57 is that it is usually blended with another mic. I agree, im not a huge fan of the SM 57 on guitars, i prefer consender mics like a Neumann ( yeah about a £700 difference ) and this is why i record with a Pod XT.

Also if you cant turn the amp loud enough there is no point in recording with a 57.

Recording stuff snipped


I've created a new topic in the Tech section to reply to this, it seems to be going a bit off-topic for the players section I think.
