He includes how to avoid phasing and where to place the microphone in relationship to the cone.

Best specific mic placement video I’ve found thus far.
Excellent video! Super helpful and eye-opening for a home studio novice such as myself. Had a 57 for a few years, and recently splurged on a 121, but honestly had no idea what kind of proper technique to use. This is the information I've been needing!
Thanks! Ross gets amazing tones and it's great to be able to learn his techniques. A lot of us wish we knew this many years ago.
Thanks for this! I've been using this technique its the easiest way to make sure my R121 and 57 are in phase!!!
I just ordered the R10 this morning. I can’t wait to try these techniques with it!
How’d it go?
@@laquestion7152 Dude, it’s amazing! I specially love using it behind my Deluxe Reverb and using two 57s in front one on axis one off axis. That blend has so much depth!
Amazing lesson. Best on internet
What is the best mic for electric guitar, Royer 121 or Maglite ?
Pierre Canonne if you want a bright tone definitely the Maglite 😂
Great tip! maglite! I'll use it to set the 57. However, I use a Coles4038 as ribbon, so I'll have to put it 3 feet from the amp.
Mag light is a time capsule
Isn't it funny that the best mic combo consists of one mic that costs $1300 and one that's $50 on craigslist.
You can either *guess* if the mics are in phase, or (if you're recording digitally), you can reamp a click back out to the cab, and record it. How far off are the recorded clicks? Adjust. Repeat until everything is in phase.
+callitaclue interesting technique. thanks for sharing!
That's an interesting idea. Thanks for sharing.
Cool trick but can be time consuming trying to make small adjustments, rerecord, etc. A better real-time trick is to crank the amp so that it's just making noise (hiss). Reverse the polarity on one mic. Move one of the mics until the hiss goes away (or reaches minimum) monitoring through headphones or whatever. At this point they're in phase. Swap the reversed polarity back & hit record!
@@timogletree8754 good sure but may require isolation / control room, which many don’t have so the hiss would be audible even if headphones just a guess
Since you're miking in close position, how much the room you're recording in matters?
...aaand what mic preamps did he use?
He didn’t really address how far away from the girl class you should be, could you guys elaborate on that?
Imagine my embarrassment. Arriving late for guitar sex ed class.😊
You dont know how much you're improved my guitar's love life.
Great insight, thanks for shearing. One question. AS a starting point what do you set the amps master volume to. 305, 50%, 75?. How load do you need to pus a tube amp to get it in its sweet spot for recording?
Russ takes 90 seconds worth of material and condenses it into eight and a half minutes. 🙂
Ross what about the efect of the royer being being biderectional and capturing sound 180 degrees opposite the speaker
how laud is the amp turned too? 3? 4 ? or a 6?
🙏🙏🙏
Royer people: you need some new and improved videos dawgies! Examples of sounds while mic is being moved close to clone vs edge further away demoed in real time, phase alignment tricks, and demo/ discussion about how close to grill to be, thee amps volume, awareness / consideration) of room treatment (fig8 issues), SPL capability, angling the mics, recording a DI alongside the mic’d inputs as well. And I’m only intermediate or less level here. Been loving the r101’s ps, hope to learn why they were discontinued.
What would you recommend for micing an old cranked Hiwatt with early Fanes?
Wow! Beautiful old amp t holmes! I would personally use a 57 if it's full out rock, but I sometimes use large diaphragm mics on the cleaner tones, you can always pull them back from the speaker and get a little more even tone and lower SPL.
MY AMP MIKING GO TO BEFORE TOUCHING EQ
what about sennheiser e906? can you give me any tips please?
+Tomasz Gutka I recorded last week using e906 and a Behringer B1. The technique is mostly the same.
I use a closed headphone to be isolated from the amp. Then I place the e906 where I feel it's the right place for the song. Then I do the same with the B1 while I'm still listening to the e906 to make sure I don't have phase issues.
Sell it

Can't you just align the two tracks perfectly to get rid of any faze problems?
I usually put the ribbon a half till 2 meters back and do the math of 2,92mS/meter as a starting point. Then I fine-align in the DAW.
I use AutoAlign from Sound Radix. Takes that potential issue out of the way and speeds up my work flow a lot.

Wat a wasted opportunity for us to hear what the hell you are talking about. I want my 9 minutes back.
Perhaps listen to a record he's produced?
+hachewie Maybe watch the other 7 videos in this series.
