Recording Tip:
Here are the eq settings for a Pantera scooped mid sounding guitar that I used in my home studio. I used the following guitar equipment. A Marshall JCM2000 half stack, a Shure SM-57, a DRK3 mic, and a modified Floyd Rose Strat. Set the 57 two to three inches from the speaker. Mic it direct center. Set the other mic about 4 to 5 feet away. Using channel eq or graphic eq for the close mic boost 2.80khz by 8db, cut 639hz by 12db and boost 144hz by 3db. For the room mic also cut 600hz to 800hz by 10 to 12db. Apply stereo chorus. At a professional studio the following are the techniques I use. Here you will have more access to better mics. Throw two 57s about three inches centered on both lower speakers. Use the studio's best condenser as a room mic preferably a Neuman. Place that about 10 feet away. Have the engineer scoop the mids heavily on the Room mic that is the key factor in achieving the dime sound.
