We made custom profiles which requires yrs of experience to do my job however every yr things change with different technology coming and going so you never actually learn more and more. Now I own 2 window cleaning businesses but this is much simpler and I get 5 times the money I got before so I can hopefully retire before I am nearly 70 yrs old...lol which is going to be the retirement age in the UK most likely in the future. Either that or I can pay you to work for me so I can stay home playing my guitar and reading science literature on Climate Change..lol.

I have one a SL3242FX PRO . Everything works and we use it heavily for live and recording! It has a great sound. Even for country vocals. Lol

Another good technique is, having the mics in phase, taking one as the principal, flip the polarity on the second or other mics and just bring it up until you get the most cancellation and then flip polarity again. That way you get everything at its fullest if that's what you want, instead of choosing darker or brighter (which you really do when choosing the principal mic), you just get full power. Hope it helps to someone, cheers.

Finally got everything to try this and BOOM! Amazing heavy bad assness on the first try. Thank you Glenn for sharing this awesome technique!

Old trick my dad taught me, I used for recording animal sounds back in a high school biology class when I didn't want ambient room noise, was to stick the SM58 on a stand and put it in a carboard box that something shipped in. Arrange the soft celled foam to remove any odd peaks or corners, and cover any cardboard and slide it right up to the cage. You can punch a hole in the cardboard to get your cable through, and shove it through the foam. Also works great for speaking parts. Mic in box on a table, and the speaker talks into it = no ambient room noise. Nice to have a parent who was a stagehand and could get gear to play with.

Question: Once you create the "tent" around the cab, how do you keep the bass player from camping out in it? Seriously - fantastic video! Other than avoiding analysis paralysis, what is the reason for mixing the two mic signals together at the behringer mixer? I'm surprised you wouldn't want to record both signals then mix them together with the rest of the instruments so you know how the tone would sit in the mix.

Thank you for sharing this info with us , Glen. Sounds awesome.

This is possibly the best simple metal guitar recording video on the net. Great stuff, man!

On a serious note, I did something similar back in 2004. Two SM57s in varied positions on a 4x12 with Uhaul blankets slung over the cabinet and mics. Didn't mix before the software though. However, it produced a meatier tone than using one SM57. Just kinda stumbled upon the method trying to find a better tone. Cool video and as always, fuck off!

That guitar tone was flawless! amazing! but damn your drums always "standout" in the mix ( in a good way)! keep the amazing work!

It’s so crazy to watch your old videos. You’re looking great these days Glenn! Inspirational! Also, thanks for the killer video!

Glad you are getting mileage out of that "hair flip" comment! LMAO everytime

Hell yeah! Making a tight booth for my cabs is the best thing I ever did. I’ve been preaching the audix bass mic coupled with a dynamic mic for tight metal for ages. But I put the bass mic under the cab (it’s on casters) to get a room like sub and blend it in low vs the SM57. Obviously my sm57 is way closer to center to compensate/catch the mids/clarity. For modern metal put it closer obviously (to the grill), but IMO Guitars are getting TOO tight/prominent in metal and I treat the audix mic’s room reflection/sub woofyness like a REVERB track. It gives the vibe of a live recording because the bass mic picks up so much crazyness it keeps it interesting. IMO people are getting jaded with tight in your face eq curve of a Vintage 30/SM57 adnauseum, so the under the cab trick is working great for me. It’s similar to the effect of micing the back of an open back cab. OOMF! Berhinger raise their heads again? Sneap used to use those pres on old Testament.

Great video! Thanks for sharing this awesome trick!

Man, I really appreciate this video. It's like finding the missing puzzle piece I've been looking for when recording. Also the V30 + K85/K100 speaker combination is by far my favorite and have all my 4x12's set up with them.

Love the shoutout to Warren. He's such a wonderful tutor! Loving your channel, man! And, the little tip on gain-staging/getting it right from the get-go is so important. Shit in, means shit out; no matter what you do to polish it.

I like the dark mic on it's own. But then, I'm a doom guitarist.

The best guitar tone I captured was Hughes and Kettner Tubemeister 36 into a Recto 412 with a 57 and 421 in a sort of Fredman position through a 4 Channel Daking Pre. The 57 on it's own was pretty good sounding and would've been fine, but the 421 and the 57 together sounded amazing without the need for eq besides the obvious high pass and low pass to keep it out of the way of the bass and cymbals . I guess the 57 has a fairly pronounced proximity effect and that's what makes it sound good when it's right up on the source and the 421 balances that out as it has a bit of a presence peak at the top end, using a bright and a dark speaker also enhances those characteristics as well

Mind blowing, man. Thank you for the amazing tip and straightforward video! Much appreciated.

This is awesome! Thanks for the great tips!

8:31 Keep this in mind: "You're recording metal". Cheers to that! :D

Glenn, I applied this technique to my recordings, and my guitar sound improved significantly! It’s not the best guitar sound by any means. However, at least, it’s tolerable. In addition, I replaced my Peavey 5150 cab speakers with the current EVH speakers. This also improved the sound! Overall, it was expensive to modify and acquire equipment, but it paid dividends. I’m satisfied! Thank you! Much appreciated! PS-I love “Why Can’t This Be Love?” (The song, not the ‘speakers’ lol).

You've gotten so much better at playing guitar and your tone is immaculate. It's pretty inspiring!

I've tried splitting them in the pan by varying degrees, but it's most natural when they are panned identical in the mix. To be clear, I had two tracks on the DAW, and I summed them there. I haven't got the luxury of a sound booth. I have to evaluate after the fact Glenn, the secret with the Behringer pre is the transistors they use on the input. The chips are so so, but the differential amp input uses discrete components, well at least that is the case on the ADAT rack. Apparently they are some magic silicon which just works well.

cool vid. I actually did all of these things he mentions just by instinct back in the day. my local band would track our stuff on blaceface adats, and take it to the old Smart Studios to mix. And a couple of the engineers there we're impressed by my guitar sounds. Then again, those guys weren't into those types of sounds. From whatever pre you use, I quickly discovered that high quality pre's didnt work as easily as a Bob Mackie cheapy. The thing about a distorted guitar is many times high quality mics and pre's expose the sound too much. They can really take the excitement and turn distorted sounds into generic oddities. And amps these days? in the late 80s you had to make a heavy sound. I used to mic the back of a Cab to get low mid thump (sort of worked) or used a BBE. Anything you could find to get that low end. Bill Lawrence pickups. all sorts of eqs in effects loops etc etc. anything. these days? lol. You can buy that sound from any of the popular ready made amps available. All you have to do is get it clear and your most of the way there. One thing I used to do...and I maybe crazy...but I would check the sound by panning it one side. When it sounded like a punchy, focused sound...as if the monitor were the amp itself...I knew I had it. Anway...Great channel.

Excellent video man! Really digging these tips!

The technology has moved forward a lot since the 1960s. You get high end results with very cheap gear these days. Almost all modern preamps (even the extremely cheap ones on the cheapest mixers) are of super high quality. There is usually no audible difference in almost any of them when compared to dedicated multi-thousand dollar ones. There is no magic to the relatively simple preamp circuit. It’s cheap to design and manufacture really high quality ones, especially with modern electronics component tolerances. Gearslutz is to be blamed on making the preamp selection a religion. The cheapest preamps might have a little more hiss, but thats about it. I.e. they are not more muddy sounding. Another religion inside the recording industry is the audio interface quality: “I can definitely hear a difference between your $300 audio interface compared to my $3000 one.” No you can’t. The quality of the ADC/DAC chips and their amplification circuits (when comparing between the cheap and expensive ones) has been of so high quality for the past 10-15 years already, that the signal differences they produce are well below the capabilities of human hearing.

The high end would be over-accentuated by the SM57s hiss and fizziness if it was the bright mic. Similarly with the low end being accentuated by the tom mic, if it was used as the dark mic. Placing them in their contrasting positions helps tame those frequencies from sounding harsher, thus making the blend much easier without carving their EQs to fit.

Warren is a trip. Enjoy seeing you both working together on the art of music. Peace.

They aren't hard panned, so they mix together thru a stereo output

Also, how are you monitoring(listening to)what you are doing? Is the cab in a seperate room? Otherwise you would be hearing the cab & not the mixer through your monitors, right?

V30’s are okay. Patriot Swamp Things, and Celestion G12’s tho 👌

just learnt so much from one video, thank you sir

Love this video. Learning a lot.

Plot twist: pros use mackie

Do you think the blanket would help with the neighbors?

Sure, just use it to smother them in their sleep. No neighbors, no problem.

They're moving blankets. You could help your neighbors move out of the neighborhood

Mind officially blown! Love the new intro🤘

Why does distortion sound like shit until its mixed with a full band? Then it sounds amazing

Vincent master bassist Distorted guitars have the mids turned up to cut through the mix. When you already have the bass on the low end, you need the guitar to occupy a different tonal range, otherwise you have two instruments competing instead of complementing each other. It might sound a little thin on its own, but when the bass and drums are added in, you get the full range of sounds for the mix.

Really can't stand that thin metallic, scrapy tone that is so popular nowadays

I like the scooped mids that everyone rips on for getting ”lost in the mix” (lol)

i think the periphery guitar tone is pretty much the best out there right now....for any genre.. just so aggressive and clear and beautiful at the same time

Nah, listen to Volturyon. That is some crushing metal tone. Periphery is too sharp and dry

Guitar playing has improved heaps Glenn, awesome tutorial!

That full mix was punchy as hell, I love it!

Badass 🔥🔥🔥 Thanks for the tip, amigo!

That sounds sick! Very nice.

This is so awesome to see because I JUST bought a 2 Mic setup with THAT EXACT MIXER for recording in my DAW this past summer. I haven't had a chance to really do much recording yet...... But now I know I made the right choices!

Glad you got your tone straight again, that was some hard hitting stuff there.

Great vid Glen.

Thank you Glenn!

Dude valuable info....thanks!

Awesome video!! Thank you so much, this really helped me get an amazing guitar sound! Night and day difference in quality!🤘 Rock on man! 🤘
