07.06.14 | List is random digs.
I have a Zoom G3X pedal that I could plug directly into my computer and use but I'd prefer a microphone if possible simply because I feel like a get a warmer, fuller tone with the amplifier |

07.06.14 | H2 zoom isn't bad for the price. Location of recording is more important than mic quality IMO. |

07.06.14 | The POD HD is great if you're willing to spend around $250-ish.
Just don't use digitech. It's fucking terrible. |

07.06.14 | I recently got a Snowball mic and it's decent, and only around 60 bucks. But if you're willing to spend more money there's definitely better microphones out there, just depends how much you're willing to spend. |

07.06.14 | @yak is that what you've used to record your dry satire/single soul materiAl? |
YakNips
07.06.14 | nah Dry Satire was recorded with a far shittier mic, but everything except Single Soul's demo was recorded with the snowball. Some SS songs may sound not that good just cause I had turn the gain up so much but really it's a good quality mic. |

07.06.14 | Get a USB interface with an XLR and instrument cable input (MBox, for example). Then get a Shure SM57. Download Reaper. That's a pretty good mega cheap setup. |

07.06.14 | I use a guitar hero mic for my own recordings; and my band collectively buys recording material so it doesn't break our accounts |

R6Rider
07.07.14 | Get a USB interface that you can plug straight into. EZ drummer and a decent guitar simulator for amps. It shouldn't be that expensive and you don't need a mic.
My buddy is pretty good at recording on his comp and he recorded this for me https://soundcloud.com/dreadtheband
But if you're all about getting the best tone go with Ire. |

07.07.14 | I'm all natural...mic a cab, run it through a mixer, to a computer |

07.07.14 | I would be all for natural but it's just a pain when you can DI it all and then use a software amp and different plugins in a DAW to recreate the warmth feel (albeit not as close but fuckit) |
postrockpaperscissor
07.07.14 | I'd highly recommend the Tascam DR-08 Portable Recorder. It can record any instrument/vocal with a crisp clean tone and is very simple to use. Just plug it into your USB port and import your audio, clean it up, and your ready to go. Its AUDIO IN feature can be used with almost anything to record using a HQ Aux Chord for a really nice sound. |

07.07.14 | yup, get a cheap 4 channel interface, two mics, and a di box. mic the cab with a dynamic mic like an sm57 about 6 inches away from the speakers, and put a condenser mic further back (i like to do 3-6 feet), fix phase issues after. alternatively you can quad-mic, stereo input, mic both sides of the cab, and use two dynamic mics in the xy stereo position further back, and run it to di as well. then double track your parts. so you'll end up with a fuckton of tracks and more shit to work with, you can always mute what you dont want and itll sound better. keep in mind you should have a different sound for the single/pair of close mics than the far mics, but make sure to stay consistent with the pair if you choose to do it... or you can cheat and double track di, whatever |

07.07.14 | just started recording with a regular ol' 57 and a Scarlett. Not high end but they get the job done
