How to actually "Record" the VH/Brown Sound???...
Posted: Tue Feb 16, 2010 12:57 pm
Hey guys,..
Now that I've finally got a "Brown Sound" amp ('77 SL done up by RockStah YEAH!!!)... I'm looking to record this amp and dial in those tones..
I'm well versed in PC based recording and all,.. but I'm just not sure on what some of you are doing to get "That Sound" while recording,...
The more I listen to the clips around here and the actual recordings, it almost seems like the recording process is one of the main keys to getting that sound (Not to mention the amp, fingers, guitar/pups, speakers....).. but still, the recording process for this sound has always made me wonder...
If someone could break down the "How to" on this subject that would be great!,... I did some searching on here but never came up with anything,.. I also saw that there was a "Sound & Recording" forum,.. but since you guys here deal strictly with the VH end of things,.. well I decided to post it here,.. hope that's alright (?)
From what I gather,.. you'd record a stereo track and pan it pretty hard left (?) say 75-100'ish?,.. sounds like there's a pretty long tailed verb on there,.. maybe some sort of "Hall" verb? ,... I'm sure a few delay/echo repeats on the tail would top off the cake pretty nicely as well (??)..
Any info you guys could offer me on this subject would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance,
Rick
