I think I have come up with a set-up for home recording, small venue to get a really versatile early Maiden sound. I'd like to get any of your ideas for that vintage early 80's Maiden sound. I love the rawness of it!
when i try and get a retro sound instead of playing directly into my computer, i play through my amp, with the arm prety loud but not too close to computer, i have a mic built into my monitor, that gives a nice meaty raw sound, but can get overly distorted if the amp is too loud or too close..
peace
