Years ago when Kevin Shirley started out producing the Iron Maiden albums after Bruce rejoined I checked him out a little and one of his soundbites/credits was getting Alex Lifeson of Rush back into the room with his amps to record his guitar solos and main parts (this was when Shirley was an engineer). Apparently the big air waves and "feeling" the guitar sound while recording got a better performance out of Lifeson.Bg wrote: ↑Tue Mar 21, 2023 5:58 pm
I was drawn to guitar by schenker playing a wall of marshalls. They were mic'd but I was hanging on the front of the stage where I could hear them - or probably one of them
The sound in the room isn't just about sound, its about the feeling of being hit by a big fuck off wave of sound.
The video says pretty much the same thing, ie. it helps with the performance but doesn't really change the recorded guitar tone.
I'm a wuss though, and while all my guitar heroes, also starting with Schenker, stood in front of walls of Marshalls and I've found it a painful experience when I've been at a geatfest and someone dimes a Plexi!
