Hey guys, just poking around as I'm new to this.
Do you have any general advice for mic'ing a cab in a house environment into a USB interface?
Basically, I tried mic'ing my 2x12 cab into my apollo interface and it went horribly. The sound out of the cab was great and was what I wanted, but the sound going into the interface was incredibly quiet (the apollo is a good interface and I had it at 30db on the mic line which is a little less than half on the gain meter).
The only thing I can think of right now anyway is that when I tried it I just draped the mic over the cab, so it wasn't really right up against the grill, it was 2'' or so off it. I purchased a mic stand so maybe that will help if I shove it right up against the mesh grill? I'm recording via a 50w Amp head at house level volumes so I mean I'm putting it loud, but not like blow your neighbors out of bed loud.
Any advice is appreciated, thank you.
