Recording the Eddie Van Halen EVH Guitar Sound with a Pick Mic
Музыка
Learn how we captured that classic Eddie Van Halen guitar picking sound using a Neumann MCM 114 microphone to mic the solid body guitar and then a R121 and SM57 to capture the sound of a Friedman amp. Dave's sound is not supposed to be a replication of the EVH sound. But instead, he borrows several ideas to pay tribute to EVH through his own sound and style.

Excellent way to bring out the machine

The machine is the perfect way to refer to it! 💥
It seems like you are picking up a great deal of the room as opposed to the pick. It might be a better test if the room was isolated

Thanks for the comment. Actually, the placement was intentional to get a mix of both. We specifically positioned the artist over a hard wood floor to capture the reflections as well as the pick. Isolating the pick sound felt too artificial. We tried only a room mic and even a shotgun, but that didn’t get enough pic, so this was the odd compromise. EVH actually captured it all with only a room mic from what I understand. But the room obviously has a large impact on the final result.
The phase shifter…please don’t.

And on top of it, it was an EVH Phase 90. 😉
