But let's face it, when it comes time to immortalize your music on a recording you want to make sure it sounds the best it can. Using proper mic placement is one of the ways you can achieve that. • Here's what you'll need: • A Flashlight: The use of this tool alone might give you a eureka moment; shed some light; illuminate the mystery, etc.,. • A Microphone: We like the SM57 which is pretty standard for this kind of stuff, but different mics will capture different sounds. Just use the one you like best. • A Microphone Stand: There are stands made specifically for guitar amps, but you can use an angle head mic-stand, a stack of books or anything that puts the mic in the right place. • An Amplifier: This is a no brainer. • A Good Pair of Ears: The only reason you're doing this is to record a good sound so you need to be capable of knowing when you get a good sound. Don't let this scare you off if you think you've got bad ears; you get better at everything the more you do it. • One last thing, mic placement won't fix bad playing, but it will help you hear it better. • Practice smart. Play hard.
