Help me analyzing this micing

[aviel]

Hey,
Any idea/ direction on micing for getting a quite similar guitar tone? it sounds like far micing, but has that clarity of close micing, scooped maybe, but seems to have a nasy peak in the mids maybe,, not sure whats the direction...



any siggestions?

He wants to know about guitar tone; amps, cabs, mic used, how it was placed etc.

 

[aviel]

well less about amps and guitar.. i am quite sure its an ENGL savage.. but more about micing.. it doesnt sounds like a 57 i think.. maybe a ribbon? or maybe dual micing.. not sure

Pretty sure SocialNumb replied to the thread when that video wasn't up there (I saw it too without it)

I always thought hearts on fire was a recto, probably not though. There are stems available of this track, they were released for a competition. Fredman mic it and see what happens - I guess theres some room in there though.

Got knows man, it was a few years ago now. I have them all somewhere but it would be quite a mission to upload it all. I have a present for you though! The two guitar files should be a great lead for you. One is the close mic, and the other is the room mic. You can hear how weird and phasey it sounds. (Files will be live ten minutes from this post)

wow bro you rock!!

Amazing.. its full of chorus effects.. really wierd stuff.. it sounds also like the close micing is hardly EQed to remove all the fizz and the 200 HZ out of it.. am i right?

 

[kev]

These files are untouched, dry files from the band, so no mixing, eqing or ought

 

[aviel]

i can swear the room mic has chorus on it while the close one dont have though.

p.s who do i need to pay to get also a lead guitar track?

They might have double tracked this or done some weird stuff to it ; )
