ok, thanx for all the positive feedback! ;-)
heres the tracking info, as far as i can remember:
guitar was a gibson les paul (dunno which model), straight into the diezel herbert (no stompboxes or anything in between), marshall cab (jcm something 4x10)
amp settings:
cant remember which channel we used, but something with hi gain for sure, dont know the knob settings for the gain. eq on the amp: turned down the bass to around 9 o'clock (this amp is truly overkill in the lows!), mids and highs at about 2-3 o'clock.
mics:
neumann tlm 127, akg c414 xls, shure sm 57 with tab funkenwerk mod. position for all the mics was a bit off center, pointing straight at the edge of the "inner circle" of the speaker (dunno what to call that bit of the speaker in english, the german word is "kalotte"). distance to the grill of the cab was about 1 inch. the mics were positioned so the signals were all phase-aligned. (did some test recordings, then zoomed in on the tracks to see if all the waveforms were all aligned correctly, then moved the mics closer or further away and did some more test recordings to check again)
pres + a/d:
api 3124+, gain was set so the guitars occasionally went into "red". pre out into focusrite isa 428 a/d inputs into digi002 via adat, 24 bit, 44.1
tracking:
rh guitar one take left and identical take for right, recording all 3 mics.
lead guitars one take left and one take right, identical takes, recording all three mics (that makes a total of 12 guitar tracks, rh + lead)
mix:
itb pro tools le, all 6 rh guitar tracks bounced into 1 stereo track, all 3 mics same volume, panned 100% left and right, same for lead guitars. eq on the stereo track was waves ssl channel, lo cut at about 100, slight dip at about 1 khz and 3 khz, slight hi boost at about 8 khz.
thats about it... later on i found out that waves api 550b eq would have been cooler for guitars, the ssl sounds a bit cleaner, the api adds in a bit of its "personal character", if you can say this in the digital domain ;-)
