To answer this question… Yes! I record Heavy Metal using nothing but one of those off white computer microphones, and I will tell you my secret. Most people put mics right infront of the Amp, This will make audio quality terrible when using one of these. Computer microphones are built for voices. When they have something louder then an average talking voice in front of it, it is being overworked and will come out all scratchy. Back in the 40’s when people mic’d drums/guitars they would put the mics about 10 feet away from the instrument because they had the same problems. Here’s the thing. Most people don’t know to much about sound, but when you play through a guitar amp, the loudest sound is being shot out the front. Putting a mic there is the equivalent of blowing into the mic. Here’s how you get the microphone close enough, without loosing sound quality. I put my amp on the floor and sit the mic on my desk above it. This way your close, but the sound is not hitting it directly. This makes it sound much better and you get close to studio quality sound. Now drums, Thats a different story. I still have not got a great recording for them because they are WAY to loud. I suggest getting some premade drums for your track. Same thing goes for bass as it did with guitar. This is how I make Studio Quality recordings with nothing but a computer mic. Here’s a Sample of one of my recordings done just like that: http://tinyurl.com/SongSample The Drums I did at a Studio.
