I learned more in 30 seconds than I have in my entire life wondering about this Comment from : @sarcasticguy4311

Try 2 Comment from : @lesliehollands2689

WOW I never knew it would change that drastically😳 Comment from : @nanaki3283

I like recording between the middle and side of the amp Not too bright but not too bassy Good tone Comment from : @PunkRockVibes

A bit closer to the center of the speaker and a couple of inches away Comment from : @TheTektronik

I liked the 2nd and 3rd positions 🔥 Comment from : @BeatsBangcomtv

Last one is best You can even hear the pick noise since it is capturing the entirety of the sound Comment from : @clintontheross

I want to see center position Comment from : @kellyshort7942

If you want I can bring in my 8string for a djent test Comment from : @Shedevil67

Can you do a video comparing the Shure SM57 to the DTP 340TT and 640 REX for a guitar cab with metal? I like my Sm57, but always felt it lacking Glenn Fricker likes the 640-REX and praises it constantly as his favorite guitar cab mic I can't find any good professionally recorded A/B videos showing all 3 of those mics with the same track, so tell the difference Thanks!brbrI'm not a professional, so I was curious if I could get by with a 340-TT and sound just as good as the 640-REX, because I use an SE Electronics Portable Isolation Filter, and I would need a mic that has a normal "tail" section XLR mount on it to mount the mic in there, and the 640-REX does not, and requires a special mount on a normal mic stand Is there any chance you might could make a 640-REX for us guitar guys with the rear mounting section of a 340-TT (having a short "tail" that the XLR mounts into), and using the standard XLR 3-prong? Comment from : @TroyPosey

Why not mic all 4 soeakers? Comment from : @antoniopizarro7670

Proximity effect (position 1) will always be the beefiest You should demonstrate center position but at different distances Thats actually a more useful demo Comment from : @Mdjagg

Theres a sound guy in town that hangs a 57 over the front of guitar amps like they're 906's, and it always sounds like absolute trash Comment from : @Mdjagg

what mic is that? Comment from : @fizzyfish-k4q

Nice Comment from : @Chill-mm4pn

good vid ty Comment from : @EddieJarnowski

it seems obvious to me today, but for years i would just put a mic in front of my amp, and be surprized that it sounded either like a swarm of bees, or like my head was in a cardboard box Comment from : @amaurythewarrior

❤❤❤❤ Comment from : @kangfajar62

More like let's talk about how that good that Engl amp is Comment from : @Josh-go9km

It depends from the ENGL 🤭 Comment from : @lewisdetmer

Turning a guitar up loud does not make it sound better it just makes you go deaf Distortion hides lazy playing those who can sound badass with no or only a little distortion are more interesting yet rock just as hard listen to acdc those guitats have basically no distortion do yourself a favor and tone down the volume and gain you will be amazed at how your playing improves and recordings improve and sound more unique Comment from : @dovemaarika1668

Wow, the difference is crazy Comment from : @koenignero

Proximity effect Distance is just as, if not more, important than the relative placement to the center of the dust cover Comment from : @MatthewSwasta

Try this again but with proper gain compensation, proper tuning, better tone, and maybe sweeten the pot with context within a mix, like, “why would you choose this position?” brbrYa welcomebr🤌🤌 Comment from : @heathenflair

Weird voice Comment from : @megabandit1200s

It’s taller than me 💀 Comment from : @86cxts_is_in_japan81

wow all this technology at your disposal only to make your playing sound as unclear as possible Comment from : @jub8891

What is that cabinet? Comment from : @Bushwig

What about placing the microphone pointed at the very center of the cabinet about 2 ft away? Comment from : @iamnotpaulavery

2 positions sounds best to me Comment from : @djchazy

What's the sound pattern on that mic? Comment from : @Mscott_90

Straight up is the least muddy sounding Comment from : @braceyourselvesfortruth2492

Is that a bass cab? Comment from : @Dizzymid

God damn Comment from : @Mnexsis

Tune the damn guitar Comment from : @nyarlathotep4

Hi, may I know why you place a mic in front of the cabinet? Isn't your guitar connected to the Amp Head anyways? Comment from : @praks007

This is useful information even if you're using a sim! Comment from : @Dave-Rough-Diamond-Dunn

Is that a shur57 mic? Comment from : @JayAgassi

That straight up position sounds like a direct input I would of never guess that it was going to sound like that👍 Comment from : @imjustyourneighbor3602

Just put it backwards Comment from : @distortionua

That much?! Damn Comment from : @aldante7079

Finally!! Great demonstration!! Comment from : @davidmilz2990

Had no idea it was that drastic Comment from : @riokinsey2134

We needed this one 🤘 Comment from : @stasiagmz210

I love guitarists, first 5 top posts are like "Duh, of course" and "Tune your guitar" The rest of us are learning the practical effects of microphone positioning Comment from : @RecklessFables

Angry bees Comment from : @Rockerrobin

Hey I recommend palm muting the strings at the bridge, makes the chugs tighter Comment from : @GOICOBA

This is literally the basics of studio engineering, take any engineering class and signal to source is the first thing they talk about Comment from : @kielbasasausage

Thank you !! Comment from : @BlackDogBones1964

You forgot to center the mic in between all four speakers… 😂 Comment from : @clicks59

i would never have guessed that the first two positions sounded so different Comment from : @jebronlames5997

And people still think string gauge and maple vs rosewood fretboards mattersbrbrDifference in tone is like 98 the pickups, amp, speakers and mic placement The other 2 is your imagination Comment from : @imCurveee

Please try different brands or types of mics in those exact positions next Comment from : @whiskeyhangover1438

TUNE THE GUITAR Comment from : @fathippo3518

I wonder how the tuners influence the sound Comment from : @friendlysoda5796

Epic short Comment from : @noonewillsaveyou

Please do more videos like this Comment from : @nothingnothings2264

Distance and angle are very important details I use IR’s cause I’m still bad at mic placement, or I need better mics? brHappy new year Lewitt and co 🎉 Comment from : @PooNinja
