Yeah sweep picking isn't something I can do on-demand I need to practice a lot before I even try it.
To bring up a rather weird topic when it comes to music making, has anyone ever recorded their vocals with a dynamic mic? I don't mean using your phone to record the sound because it also takes all the ambient sounds into account but using something like a Shure SM7B. I only ask this because almost two years ago I went about this little expedition and dropped it very quickly because I found that the mic was only the start of the adventure, the devices you need besides the mic purchase are where the true evil really lies. A cloud-uplifter for gain to your interface before going into your PC/MAC and in some cases (well most cases) a pre-amp before the interface between the uplifter and the mic to boost gain so you don't get all the lovely hissing sounds either. The band is thinking of doing some recording work while we are all stuck at home so I figured I'd ask here before going out on this expedition again and then saying we should wait till we can order the stuff we need.
