I had a couple come to me to record 2 or 3 tracks.. We arranged for 6pm, but they rolled up at 10:30 ? Anyway we got 1 track down but due to time had no opportunity to check over it closely etc.
I was aiming for a live sound as the room(also my local venue where I am resident engineer) has a very nice lively sound. The guitar has di and 2 mics, one at soundhole and one at bridge pointing toward fingers ish. I used a room mic at opposite end of room pointing to the apex in the ceiling.
Now we are meeting for a re-run due to a few things, but I have noticed issues with the guitar mics.. 1 is apparent distortion and the other is excess string slap. I know this is mostly due to the technique especially in the last section.. But is there anyway to tame this? I don't think I can point the mics any further away from the fretboad ?
