i think its time i keep my pod off for a while

:headbang:
 
I used this technique yesterday while doing a band. I'd move the mics around until I got a sound I like and when I hit the phase it almost was completely nulling, just terrible hi fi fizzy shit left. So I figured it worked out pretty well. I got some damn heavy sounding guitars out of it. Now just to figure out how to get this kick drum to pop though all of the chunky low end of the guitars.

Oh, and I used a 57 and a 421 instead of two 57s.
 
That's Ola Frenning, Wichers' uncle. :lol: They both played Caparisons, though.

New rhythm guitarist = dude from Dimension Zero

They must look somewhat similar? All the pics I've seen of the guitarists in that band are always playing Angelus's it seems and they always look like that dude.

I need to check them out, I've had too many people comment on this band to keep ignoring them I guess.
 
They used to use Dellinger and Horus models.

The solos on Natural Born Chaos are some of the tastiest solos ever! Also an AMAZING guest solo from Mattias "IA" Eklundh

Speaking of Caparisons, mine finally came back from the workshop. 6 months to get repaired!

I use this technique all the time but only as a time saver as I always record on my own and it's a good way to find the best 'sweet spot' faster. Only ever record the one mic tho
 
All I have to say about it, having played around with it a ton, is that if it doesn't blow your fucking socks off you're doing it wrong. For that kind of stuff, it's unbeatable - I can see why some thrash guys and more technical players might like single-mics right on the cap-cone intersection, but for stuff like Soilwork it'll rip your head off when you get it right.
