That Bob Dylan sound


X-53mph

Recommended Posts

Hey guys,

I'm putting together a song which is meant to sound like Bob Dylan The Times They Are A-changin'.

Does anyone have any tips on how to get that guitar sound? Type of compression? I'm guessing Tube compression. Not much bass. Does anyone have any more precise tips? Or are there any plugin that would help to get that sound?

Thanks in advanced

From what I've gathered, those early 1960's Dylan tracks where recorded live in the studio all in one shot, through a single microphone.  Any perceived effects where probably due to microphone placement more than anything else.  Dylan's initial "purest folk period" was all about the lyric,  the music and recordings that followed were no more than a vehicle to convey his observations.  Experiment  with both  dynamic  and condenser mikes, shouldn't be to hard to replicate.
