Standard 3-point Micing Technique (Advanced)
How can you make a guitar sound full, large, and deep even if it was recorded in a bedroom? In this advanced lesson, I introduce the “standard 3-point micing technique,” which picks up the different personalities of an electric guitar and amplifier with a “bright” mic, a “dark” mic, and a “back” mic. This recording approach mirrors the “standard 3-point lighting technique” and its “key” light, “fill” light, and “back” light to form the basis of most lighting approaches for video, film, and still photography. The “standard 3-point micing technique” offers multiple mixing options based on different mic combinations, creative panning, and time delay.
