Here's a recording I made today with my new SM7b. This mic kicks arse!
The song is me badly improvising over an 'East Coast' blues jam backing track. I will post the solo guitar tracks and the mix.
Below is the mix of both guitars (the third solo is a Martin acoustic micced with a Rode Nt-1a)
http://www.guitaraustralia.com/VB-VJam2/AllSolos.mp3Solo 1: '94 Gibson Les Paul Std with APH1 Zebras
The mic was directly pointing at the cone, right up against the speaker grill.
http://www.guitaraustralia.com/VB-VJam2/JustOne.mp3Solo 2: 2005 Fender Deluxe Telecaster (MIA) Vintage noiseless pups
The mic was situated at the edge of the speaker diaphragm, angled towards the center cone.
http://www.guitaraustralia.com/VB-VJam2/JustTwo.mp3The Shure SM7b was plugged into a Great River ME-1NV and it needed a 'bit' of gain. From there, the signal went into an EMU 1820m and was recorded with Reaper. I did nothing to alter the signal from the preamp, at all.
The guitars were plugged straight into the input of a JCM800 Kerry King sig head, driving a 1994 JCM900 1960a cab.
Presence 7
Bass 10
Mid 6.5
Treb 9.2
Master 1 (I know, I'm a wuss!)
Preamp 4.2
One thing to note about the KK is that it uses KT88 power tubes instead of EL34s. Probably not a noticeable difference with the master volume on 'one'. LOL!
