Danny Russell. (not solo, not short, hi-fi). Effective combination of MIDI
instrumentation and rock guitar with miked tube combo amps.
All the guitar sounds are real guitars through an assortment of small orphaned
combos that I've accumulated. The single mic was placed close on the speaker
in all instances, but positioned differently depending on the particular
amp in use, and/or just depending on what I needed to hear on a particular
track. The guitar tracks were basically recorded flat and dry. On a couple
tracks, small amounts of corrective EQ were used to remove rumbling or booming
noises from below, but not so as to shape tonality. Also on a few of the
solos, a small amount of amp reverb was used, mostly just to loosen up my
playing a bit. No direct was used on guitar parts.
Since I had the amp with me in the same room as the playback monitors, I
had to throw a thick blanket over the amp and mic to muffle the volume and
minimize bleedthrough. Only problem is that amp doesn't ventilate with the
blanket on. In two instances, I had an amps produce smoke while recording.
That puts danger in the sound! You can't get that any other way. ...vocals
on Head Around were sung through, and miked off of the same amp the guitars
were recorded through (Marshall master volume combo). I sang into the amp
using an ancient ('72) omni-directional condenser that came with my Sony
portable cassette recorded that I somehow still have from when I was a kid."
Equipment was really basic. Nothing exotic. Mic is an Optimus 33-3018 dynamic,
bought it on sale for $19.95 (cheap). It's Radio Shack's crappy version of
a Shure 57. The only difference is that unlike the Shure, it probably wouldn't
withstand the high SPL's of close-miking real drums... Soundcard, I couldn't
even tell you. I can't find a number on it anywhere, but it does say Yamaha
on it. It came with my 'puter. It's really noisy, but I think I've managed
to utilize that to my advantage as an additional warmth to the final sound.
The MIDI voices were all generated in software via Yamaha S-YXG50 (came with
the soundcard).

The guitar tone on the rythm is smoking. Neil should check this out. You should
post this on the main group. Are you free this weekend ;-)
