It depends on the room, acoustic treatment/qualities of the room, mics used, not only the position. I guess you can make a sound more dryer if you place the cab in the corner and put mic close, compared to making the sound more open with cab in center and mic in the corner. All factors count, not just cab placement.

Also the position of the mic and included, your position, counts when you're hearing what your sound is sounding like. You can try as many things as you like and then, see what fits better on what you're looking for your sound

I have made some succesful results with the amp set where it sounds best in the room, then close-mic it with one mic, another one c:a 2-3 meters in distance and one condenser where it sounds best according to Your ears. (eg. in the same height as the ears).
Then they were blended and phased off in the mix. //Staffay --------------------  Guitars: Ibanez AM-200, Ibanez GB-10, Fender Stratocaster Classic Player, Warmouth Custom Built, Suhr Classic Strat, Gibson Les Paul Standard 2003, Ibanez steel-string Amps: Fender Hot Rod Deluxe, Marshall JMP 2103, AER 60 Effects: BOSS DD-20, Danelectro Trans.

QUOTE (Shime @ Apr 13 2010, 10:27 AM)  Thanks. I realize my question was a bit awkward. Perhaps the question to ask would be: how to create studio conditions for the sound of your amp? Anyway, I will be experimenting further... Shime You answered the question right there - by experimenting. Every room is different, every cab etc. By experimenting, you customize and shape the sound to your preference. Usually when people say they want to record an amp, it is suppose to be recorded dry with added effects later. Only logical purpose of capturing room ambience is when that room has good acoustic qualities. If it doesn't, try to record as dry as possible. Making a small iso-box is a good solution if you cannot make a whole room. It won't sound as good as good room, but it will sound great if you are on a budget. -------------------- - Ivan's Video Chat Lesson Notes HERE
