March 17, 2014 There is a wide range of ways to record electric guitar, from plugging a guitar straight into a computer and using a free guitar amp simulator, to agonising over the impedance of guitar cables, using decades-old vintage stomp boxes, having the ‘right’ preamp valves, buffers, isolated power supplies, fiddling with microphone placement […]

These just showed up from @sennheiser and after a quick listen to some of the stuff I’m working on right now they’re going to be a useful reference when mixing. #boringpost #headphones #mixing #producer
