So, if I approach the Axe more as a raw close mic'd audio source, it seems that I need to think like a sound engineer as I create patches for recording or FRFR applications (including FOH). Since, I've never been a sound engineer, I'm looking for tips & pointers.
It seems pretty common to record amps with both an SM57 & an R121. Is it typical to close mic both of those mics or are there also common recording techniques using one close and one far field mic? Do recording studios ever want the sound of the room or is it more preferable to do that "post" with reverbs?
What other processing typically goes into the chain after the mics in a recording studio environment - PEQ? Compressor/Limiter/Compander? What else?
