marshallmarshallmesaribbonmic (some hardrock tones)

[Lasse Lammert]

inspired by the "Wagner Thread" I thought I'd enjoy some ribbbon mic sounds instead of watching TV and editing drums, so I through my m160 in front of first the Marshall and then the mesa cab. dead center, slightly off axis.

Chain was:
Fender Strat with 18v EMG85 -->Marshall 2203 (kk)-->Cab-->Mic-->API Preamp-->Apogee AD-16x-->Pro Tools

In the zip-folder there's two sub folders, one with totally unprocessed files and one with a 2dB lowshelf and HP/LP (see screenshot for settings)...Ribbons have a strong proximity effect, so I slapped this light shelf on there to make up for some of it.

in each subfolder there are 3 clips...pure (no boost), boosted with TS (drive off, level 12:00) and bossted with the internall KK boost (lowest setting).

Don't expect modern metal tones!!

Ampsettings were around 12:00 on all EQ dials (sometimes here abit more and there a bit less, but never much), 7 on master and 3 on pregain

tbh I never bothered finding out how to create IRs.
and I guess it's too time consuming to convince me of doing it now
If anyone posts a low-effort-guide I'll do it

yep, I like that one the best, too.
Sounds like the settings were a bit different than on the other ones,...can't really remember though.
luckily I'll mix a band soon that could use these kinda tones...I always like using different amps, tones, mics...and marshall marshall miced with ribbon will be used on that one
