Igor needs some Sound Advice!

Essentially all I had done, was place a Rode directional mic in front of my little practice amp and run a cable back to the connection on my Canon 5D.

Recording the mike through to the camera?

Probably an equipment upgrade if you haven't inadvertently got the necessary already.

I used a Focusrite Solo interface with a Sennheiser MD 421 (the one they pointed at Gough during the 'kerr's kerr' speech).
It was actually touching the speaker cloth and the gain adjusted in Sonar so that it wasn't maxing out.

Many ways to skin the cat, but this is the way I did it.

cheers, Mark.
