The guitarist should not have been switching pickups if we wanted to hear an accurate comparison. At minute 3:15 ... the guitarist is using the bridge pickup on his Stratocaster as the narrator is saying that a microphone in the center position will give you a brighter sound. (Well of course it’s gonna sound brighter, he’s using the bridge pickup)

Then when he moves the mic to the right side of speaker, the guitarist switches to the neck pick up which sounds a lot “warmer” or “smoother”. The narrator in this instance says “now the guitar will sound smoother” (well of course it is, the guitarist switched to the neck pickup)

I would have rather had the guitarist stay on the same pickup to better compare the difference in microphone position. I am not throwing any hate, whatsoever. I’m a proud Neumann microphone owner. The TLM102 and KM184 are amazing!

The technique to compare noise is incredible. I've been studying recording for years and this is the first I heard of that. Thank you, I subscribed!

you dont need the amp noise
play in to a looper and let the looper work so its play something through the amp and now play with the mic position

Love the video. The hosts voice tone sounded way to sharp in these 2 videos. Need the vocal chain from the mics video. Just my opinion. Great videos though I would love to see tons more of these recording techniques tips and trics type videos. Thanks guys

What I do to help find a good mike position if I'm recording alone is use a looper pedal. I just play a part of the song and loop it, and then use the headphones to find a mic position that sounds good. Then I do a test recording to see if that mic position is gelling with the other instruments.
