Began setup for recording the rhythm and lead guitar sections for the song. Used a similar method as the bass, in that we recorded two simultaneous signals at once in the live room. The DI box was used to gain the raw audio of the guitar pickups, whist the amplifier was used to establish a good EQ, recorded using an SM57 microphone. These signals were both captured and fed back to the desk in the control room to then be put into Pro Tools and the overall song session. The first recording was of the rhythm guitar to be used as undercurrent to the song. We then recorded the lead guitar with mildly altered EQ on the amplifier to cut through the mix more in the session.
Prior to beginning the recording process we established a good fold-back system with the musicians to make sure they could confidently play along to the track.
