Hello lads,
I'm new around here and I've registered because I'm having a problem that I just can't fix. I'm recording my acoustic guitar and I'm having really weird noises. It sounds like a resonance issue, kinda flanging, kinda phasing, kinda wah noises. It happens in all frequencies. After I cut out all the noises from all the frequencies with the EQ, there was no acoustic guitar sound left!
I've researched a lot, but I'm still in the dark.
First of all, I've tried thousands of mic positions. Best one I could find was 30º angle, pointed to the 12th fret, 1.5ft away from the acoustic guitar. But still didn't solved the problem.
Then I thought it was the acoustics of the room. I went to a studio with proper acoustic treatment, though the problem persisted.
Finally, I assumed that it is probably the cheap quality of my instrument.
However, I've read some posts where people had the same issue with good guitars - which gave me some hope of figuring out how to avoid this. Even so, I'm a bit lost and I don't know how to fix it.
Can someone help me? I'm attaching a file with my recording without any effect or EQ.
My current gear is:
PC: Dell Inspiron
DAW: Reaper
Interface: Behringer U-Phoria um2
Mic: Behringer C1
Guitar: Memphis MD-18
Cheapest gear money can buy (around $200 the full set)!
I thank you all in advance! Cheers mates!
