Hi all,
Am currently setting up a (pc based) home studio for recording own band(s). Everything's been going fine, have recorded an album worth of drum tracks and have just started on the guitars.
Amp is 5150 close mic'd sm57. Have noticed a 'phasing' sound, so started investigating all the ususals. However, have noticed it's ANY amp i use.
To best describe it, if you played open, distorted, chords it'd sound like a wah been slightly depressed every second or so, a kind of pumping / phasing sound. I've tried a 5150, triple xxx, marshall, even a tranny amp, all do the same! I've also tried different rooms to no avail. Before now, i've not played amps at home, always in rehersal rooms.
My suspicion is it's the power. I live in an old victorian terrace, could it be 'dodgy' power? Would this lead to this sort of effect? If so, what can I do to rectify it?
Going to takes amps round a friends house and have a carefull listen to see if this could be something i'm missing.
Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!!!
many thanks,
Dave
