THE RECORDING

We recorded the guitars in the Rocchi Studios using only top-end gear.

Acoustic Guitars: for the close microphone position, we used a U87 mic as a main mic, a pair of classic small-cardioid XY for catching the stereo-field, plus a ribbon closer to the hole, to get the deep frequencies smoothly. Room is a mix made by us between a decca and other microphones close and further the guitar.

For the electric guitars, we recorded a Stratocaster used a pair of vintage and modern amplifiers, plus known pedal effects recorded in stereo.

All the microphones were routed through Neve and hancrafted Argentini Preamps.
