My band is going to the studio in january and I'm really racking my head thinking of what sounds better...direct or mic'd...any thoughts?
I dont own a tube amp,but want a tube sound and am willing to buy a low watt tube amp to achieve a good saturated heavy sound if needed.I was looking at the carvin vintage 16,but dont know what kind of grind I can get out of that.What did metallica use to get the distorted sound on the song 'one'?Serious,if I cant buy the equipment I have no problem renting it.I'm not looking to emulate a sound.I will tweak to my liking.
Would going direct make it easier to achieve a great tone?
Also,My drummer thinks it would be easier and sound better to play/record songs all together instead of laying down the drums first,then bass,guitar e.c.t.
I would imagine the quality and consistency of riffs,drums, and basslines would be better if layed down and repeated within the recording instead of the whole band aiming to get the song flawless in one shot.
Thanx in advance!
Later! \m/
