So I finally got a fresh tape of 457, and was playing around with the r8. I tried recording accoustic guitar with an sm57, and I can't really make it sound very great. On the mixer, I've left EQ alone, and boosted the pre quite a bit. I placed the sm57 near the 12th fret, and I still can't get any good sound. It sounds distant, muffled, and weak. Someone brought up that it may be that my recorder needs to be demagnitized. Do you think this a big possibility? If so, where could I get it, Radioshack perhaps? Thanks!
