bogart said:I used a rode condenser mic and put my cab(4x10) in the middle of the room. I then placed the mic directly behind the amp facing away from it. I set eq flat and cranked the tone on my jazz bass up. I recorded anesthesia as a sample and let me tell you how much growl came through. I was so intrigued by this I retracked every distorted part on my new record with this technique.
That's interesting. How far from an opposite wall were the amp and mic, respectively? Was it a very 'live' space?
I have a stone/plaster walled space, with a concrete floor and real old exosed wood joist and sub-floor above. I've gotten some good room-mic recordings in there.
Rog.
