New Camera & Mic test - Diamond guitar/Henning Bottle Rocket

[JerEvil]

Ok so the first vid with the Lumix G7 and Rode VideoMic Pro R+. Used the Diamond Renegade and Henning Bottle Rocket. Cab is my V-Boutique Euro 212 with Celestion Redbacks.

This was actually the first time I plugged the guitar in. Adjusted the amp and had at it. Surprised how well this mic captured the audio.

I need to lower the bass end of the bridge pickup. There a little squawking happening on the chugs. Had to do that on my Mammoth with EMG's as well.

Sounds good overall. I love my rode videomic. I have one on my main DSLR. My only problem is that I suck at video editing.

Yeah I recorded this right into the camera. I’ll ultimately record it i it my new Sound Devices MixPre 6 when I’m on location. I was just interested to see how it fared with loud amps. I’m pretty pleased.

Do you have the dB cut options on that one too?

On the mic? Yes.

I cut use the - 20db and have recorded live bands successfully.

Do you have a slight hiss that you have to remote in editing? That is my only issue. It's probably just that I am not good at editing video.

I didn’t notice any to be honest. Wonder if it’s coming from your mic or the camera connection? I also have a Sound Devices MixPre 6M that I’ll be recording into instead of going into the camera. I used the -20db cut and also reduced the input on the camera. I will say, the G7 and G85 I got may not be the “best” dslr’s out there but I’m very pleased with the results so far.

That Henning sounds mean and tight. Dig it. Also have to applaud you on your right hand technique. Love that down picking precision and stamina. I suck at that.. I am lazy like Kirk Hammet and alternate pick my rythms a lot.

Thanks man! Yeah the Bottle Rocket is sick. Off to its new owner soon though. Thankfully the Cherry Bomb boosted will get those tones as well! Lol. My right hand will still get tired when doing ALL downpicking. Throwing some triplets in helps give grandpa a break then I can dig back into it! Like Ion Shaffer! Lol!

Want a good workout... play stuff off American Psycho from Misfits! Doyle is 100% downpicking everything. Even faster live.
