Amp miking techniques are quite simple, but it always takes me a good few hours to get the sound just right before I’m ready to get on with the recording.

Let me explain…

The process would be to get the drummer to lay down his parts then use Pro Tools virtual tracks to audition all different mic placements. This software makes it really easy to scroll through all you options and pick the sound that best suites the track.

I might try different microphones, different amps, different pics and even different guitars in search of that perfect tone.

This may sound a little anal but the results speak for themselves.
