Basic Ways to Record Electric Guitar

[FuzzFace]

Some people like automatic drip coffee, some people like to use a French Press, some prefer tiny espressos, some want a big mug.

I grind coffee beans using a manual coffee grinder.  There are arguments for and against this but I just like it.

oh the irony is the guy that made this post has engineered in abbey road professionally lmao.

Thought I might throw it up in here because it seems theres a heavy reliance on standalone multitrack devices on this forum. I find that an oddity. There are many, many very powerfull and convenient ways to record a guitar

   I have stood on clifftops to record my guitar onto my MBR. I have stood in friends houses to record vocals. I have stood in every room of my house searching for the right acoustics in accordance to what I'm recording. I've stood in the streets of various towns and cities recording 'ambience' onto my MBR. I've stood on beaches recording waves with horses gallpoing past through the wet sand. And this thing slips into my overcoat pocket and runs on batteries. I can't think of anything more convenient than standing in the shitter and singing my little heart out...

Don`t forget that he also sticks SM-58 down his trousers to fend off unwanted hissing from ego vocalists

I'd particularly love to argue bluesberrys arbitrary and imaginary distinction betwee an engineer type and old musician type, because its utter bollocks - everything an AE does, all the polishing of the sound (or lack of if the case requires that, as with diamonds and rust that I put up here a while ago) is *in service of the song*. Everything we do is to tailor and enhance the emotional impact of the music in whatever its intended fashion. Including, and sometimes especially, the minute details.

I would enjoy that debate with you MDV, it would have to be over beer (I prefer a nice Irish Red Ale myself), I bet we could go on into the night on this one.

this thread is needing gringo's input methinks

The point my fellow posters are making is simple, this is a songwriters site. the focus here is on songwriting first, production second. Perhaps you should consider that before taking such great offense to every statement including the one person who took the time to defend you. I can't comprehend why you would feel the need to insult him along with everyone else. .

I very, very much doubt that wartime novelty took what I said badly. I rather suspect he took it as the toungue in cheek banter it was meant to be. It wasnt intended as an insult in the least, as with everything else I've said. The difference is, I bet he knows it .

But of course he'd have to confirm or deny that, if hes willing.

Bluesberry, I bet we could yes, and I bet it would be a great nights banter!

Thats great for Henwrench, oldrottenhead, but its apples and oranges. I respect Joey Sturgis' skills as well, even if I work better micing an amp than with pod farm

Edit: I used wartime noveltys real name without thinking, and as a matter of principle I dont do that unless that person breaks that seal on any given forum themselves.

Sorry dude.

Exactly!

My OP was intended entirely to help people find the way to record guitar that suits them best.

Not start a fight with people that think their reciept for an MBR is a marraige contract.

I apologize for the under-educated perspective which I have brought to this discussion. I realize now the ignorance of my ways, and will forever hold your words in reverence MDV. To bestow such knowledge and insight amongst us mere mortals show generosity beyond reproach. Thank you.
