Home recording on a budget

Thank you for visiting my video.
I was tired of having to use poor quality sound capture devices for capturing the authentic sound of my guitar.I therefore did some investigation on the net and came to the conclusion that this setup was the most affordable for my needs.This also allowed for capture of vocals if the opportunity arose.This is the equipment i used;

- Fender “62 reissue Stratocaster
electric guitar – unmodified.

- Peavey Valveking Royal 8 Class A
all tube amplifier.

- Samson Q7 Neodymium Dynamic microphone.

- Art Tube MP Microphone Preamplifier
“the original”.

- Griffin Imic USB Audio Interface.

- Various cables to connect them all!

    cuz then he is relying on the computer to simulate the sound of an amp, rather recording the real tone of the amp. Especially if you have a really good amp, that’s where all your tone is coming from.

    She should stay still and compression or limiting should be applied. That’s another story.

    your best bet is to get the stuff this guy has got and aim the mic above the snare drum, kinda inbetween the high hat and snare, this is what the drummer in my band does and we use a usb mic lol but it dose sound pretty good, or if your loaded get a fatt of usb mixer and by a full set of usb mics and get something that isnt audacity lol
