The guitarists needs to hear and 'feel' their tone appropriately otherwise the player is endlessly changing their style / hand technique trying to get 'Their Tone'. Player foldback and FOH are also two different requirements. Compounding the problem is the speaker responds differently in the near and far fields, so a close mic at 45 degrees off axis doesn't sound the same as standing 6 foot away at the same off axis angle.

Micing up a guitar cab presents similar problems, and that is why mic position is so critical to get right for FOH. 4x12 and 2x12 horizontal are the worst offenders. You get different sections of the audience hearing vastly different guitar tone.

That's also why guitar speaker rigs aren't good for FOH coverage. Most guitarists like to stand 45 degrees off axis, which is nice 'mid' position. Move out 15 degrees off axis and those 1kHz+ tones start to roll off much faster than the sub 1kHz tones. Down the beam and you get lots of frequencies 1kHz+ up to the natural speaker roll-off. (Dickens, 1896, p.Typical guitar speaker rigs are handy for personal monitoring for the simple reason that their tone can be effectively equalised simply by changing position relative to the speaker's projection axis.

It was remarked that the clock began to strike, and I began to cry, simultaneously. To begin my life with the beginning of my life, I record that I was born (as I have been informed and believe) on a Friday, at twelve o’clock at night. Whether I shall turn out to be the hero of my own life, or whether that station will be held by anybody else, these pages must show. At the end of a block quotation, cite the quoted source and the page number in parentheses, after the final punctuation mark. If the quotation comprises 40 or more words, display it in an indented, freestanding block of text, without quotation marks. Place it before the full stop.ĭavid Copperfield starts with "Whether I shall turn out to be the hero of my own life, or whether that station will be held by anybody else, these pages must show" (Dickens, 1869, p. If the quotation is fewer than 40 words, incorporate it into your paragraph and enclose it in double quotation marks. A direct quotation reproduces word-for-word material taken directly from another author’s work, or from your own previously published work.
