It’s “UNRENDERED”
:3
does it make any difference if the mic is at the left or right?
I have a question about guitar strings. I personally prefer older strings over new strings. Now could it be because I’m a beginner? I had NPS strings on my RR5FR but I have D’Addario XL .10′s on there now, and its having all sorts of problems. The Floyd isn’t sitting right now and as soon as I went to use it, it went out of tune 3 steps!!! Any tips you could give me? And if I don’t like the sound of crisp strings is that fine?
hi – some players like the sound of older broken in strings to new strings. Its a personal preference where there is no right or wrong – find what sounds best to your ears. Just remember though that really really old strings usually dont stay in tune all that well – so they should be replaced at some time
rock on!

It depends – depending on the application – if you are playing live next to the drummer or bass player you may want to try both why the band plays just to see what sounds best and limit the bleed through. Every speaker is different so you want to try both sides and see what sounds best to your ears
rock on!

@nbcviper New strings will probably need a little stretching, too. As soon as you start playing strings fresh out of the package, they’re gonna stretch and go flat. String up your guitar, then grab the string in the middle and give it a couple little tugs, then tune it again. If it still goes flat, or your Floyd starts lowering, you may need to stretch them some more. Be careful not to over-do it, because the more you stretch them the more brittle they become.
@nbcviper Some brands of strings claim to need less stretching than others, for example Ernie Ball, and they actually do, but I found that Ernie Balls tended to break on me regularly. I’m now playing GHS strings of the same gauge and I love their tone and they last longer, however they do take longer to get tuned up and calibrated with my floating bridge.
@nbcviper The Floyd Rose is a very precise instrument, and it’s a real pain to set it all up right, clamp down, and start playing only to be all out of tune and tension in two minutes as a result of failing to properly stretch your new strings. Just don’t break them! Stretch a little at a time because the more you stretch them the more brittle they become.
@nbcviper @nbcviper As far as the shocking sound of crisp strings goes, that’s fine. I used to hate the sound of new strings, but I found that after a little stretching, playing, and precise tuning they’ll sound like your old friendlies in no time. You’ll find as you get better that you’ll need strings in good condition in order to sound out chords in tune higher on the fretboard. If you tune your very old strings to the open note, they will tend to get flatter as you ascend the fretboard.
@rockongoodpeople thanks =D by the way, your pretty awesome ^ ^
About the room, sir, you can use a blanket and forget about acoustic treated rooms…
Try it and see… just throw a blanket over your mic and amp.
It mite just be an accident but there’s a subliminal message in this video, at 8:56 the word understand is flashed across the screen, i think next level guitar are tryin to mindfuck ppl
Just stumbled on your vid, thanks for the info. What is your opinion on the E609? I’m the house FoH guy and true note, i love having the distinction in a guitar whilst having the meat of the sound, so typically i try to have the mike placed at half. I’ve moved away from the 57 due to convenience on the amps but am interested to see if i should play with it again for comparably.
Hey, I had a question, I have a Line 6 4 30 watt amp and I want to mic it, Is that possible? Oh, And sorry if this is a retarded question lol I’m new to this tech stuff! Where dose the mic connect to? I mean like when you mic it, Do you connect it to a speaker or pa system? Thanks
is this kind of dynamic mic good for miking bass amps/ cabinet?
is there any mic which specifically designed for miking bass? but i think it would be more expensive… thanks!
how do you get the the soud from the mic do you need a amp for the mic or what please help!!!! im confused
I couldn’t tell the fucking difference between any position. Why the fuck do you need to mic an amp when the goddam amp is allready loud as hell???
@shittybangbang321 Umm… if you’re in the studio?
@VvdisgorgevV
Shut the fuck up you goddam prima donna. Like you would know anyways. The only studio you’ve seen the inside of is a gay porn shoot where you’re getting sandwiched by a couple twinks.
@nbcviper Obviously your Floyd will get out of place. Old Strings are already streched…besides the string tension changes between materials and gauge aof the strings. I got into a real problem on a reahearsel because i didn’t remembered what was the gauge of the last set i bought, so i got 9′s…turns out last time i got 9′s light. So in the middle of the rehearsel my guitar kept getting out of tune. I just adjusted the Springs in the back.
ok this is a embarrassing question but where do you plug the mic into. i mean like a PA system? or like what? Your computer? 8-track recorder? i dont know much about this and i want to for when i record. Or like if you play live, do you plug the mic into a Pa system? but what if you dont have one? Do you not play or does it just not sound very good straight from the amp?

brain hurting!!! so much info!!
Hi, great vid. I have a dumb question – I have set up the mic and am running it through a Boss rc20xl looper pedal into a PA. Problem is I get crazy feedback. Any suggestions on placement to get rid of the feedback? Thanks.
@TheFurpus I started a music technology course last month… i know what you mean
