Hey guys (and possibly some girls too)
I wonder how on some recordings the acoustic guitars sound so tight and bright. I assume it has to do with (lots of) compression, but I haven't been able to find that 'ringing' sound you often hear in Boston's recordings, such as the well known "Amanda" or like Rick Springfield on "Free" and "April 24th" )both on his latest release "Alive".
I don't know exactly how to explain, but to me it sounds like the strings are much higher tensed than usual, but ofcourse in regular tuning. I tried heavier gauge strings, and this helps a bit, but I must be off track on the compressor settings.
(I use a Behringer Autocom.... let's not bitch about that for now.. )
Any of you have any ideas? I hope I have explained my problem / wish in an understandable manner.
