Why can't I record guitar?
My phone or GoPro videos better represent my amp than when I mic my amp. Why do I suck?

Re: Why can't I record guitar?
Alright, here is the only decent example I have. The camera version seems more full while the recorded audio version seems thin to me. Raw track attached. Maybe its just in my head. ALSO, listening now I literally just realized I can hear a slight rattle coming through the speaker, is that a tube issue? I hear it when playing but assumed it was the breaker panel door right behind my amp. This is a revelation and possibly much easier to fix.

Something is distorting in an unpleasant way...I don't think it's the amp....maybe the video audio?
Other than that,...that's a pretty full sounding tone to me.

Re: Why can't I record guitar?
Did you hear the same in the attached file? I'm interested in this rattle now.
Re: Why can't I record guitar?
No...I don't hear it in the attached file.
Re: Why can't I record guitar?
Thanks for the listen!
Re: Why can't I record guitar?
I hear it in both. I don't know what it could be, but you need to get to work figuring it out. Since it's in the room camera clip and the close mic clip, I'd guess it's something in the amp/cab. Maybe a tube rattle, maybe some physical part rattle.

I was talking more about that weird distortion in the video.
Re: Why can't I record guitar?
To me it sounds like a spike in certain frequencies that are getting stacked by the delay repeats.

Re: Why can't I record guitar?
I don't know about you, but the reason I can't record guitar today is because the missus has the washing machine going hell-for-fucking-leather next door.
As far as techniques go, I seem to have no trouble. Turn on the Marshall, stick an SM57 in front of it and press record.

Re: Why can't I record guitar?
the downloaded clip is much more dynamic and full ... think your attracted to the top end of the youtube clip .. which imo might lead you into thinking its more "polished" ... which is isnt,its squashed and flat dynamically (not saying it sounds bad,but in comparison)
could add a lil air to the daw clip with eq .. this things great http://www.audiopluginsforfree.com/luftikus/ and free (basically Maag)
if you want more clarity you could send your guitar to the amp dry,then in the daw use a sub bus/fx channel to add delay and verb (use it as a send effect,don't put it on the same channel) .. best thing about that is you can tweak the FX to your hearts content after its been recorded
btw id try adding air on the sub bus or reverb send

Re: Why can't I record guitar?
Liv, have a look in The Tone Thread today. We have the same amp...
Re: Why can't I record guitar?
I tried a different cabinet and it has that same rattle/buzz. Now what? How can I test the tubes? Should I just replace them all? I have no spares.
Re: Why can't I record guitar?
Try tuning your guitar to standard instead of drop tuning and turn the effects off. It could just be that something is resonating at a specific frequency.

Re: Why can't I record guitar?
It's only one string dropped and it does it on high notes too. I just tested it clean.
