Monday, March 7, 2011 at 11:43 AMActually, I agree with both of you.
While there are occasions in which it would be appropriate to record an electric guitar by plugging it directly into an input on the recording device, it would certainly be rare.
The simple fact of the matter is that the authenticity that can be achieved by micing up an amplifier is worth a LOT. No amount of post-processing can honestly match the tone of a good amplifier.
As I say, there are times in which it would be appropriate (certain types of electronica etc), but mics are the past AND the future.
