Hiya, I don't know if this is typically DONE here but...
I'm trying to learn to get the best sound on tape, so to speak, so that I have a good sounding track to work with. So I'm posting a dry track, as I tracked it, of part of an acoustic guitar piece I recently wrote. Maybe its fine the way it is, and I won't wring my hands about whether it sounds 'right'.
I don't have the best stuff, but I do have monitors and some Behringer gear, compressor and preamp. The rooms not so good either so its hard for me to tell if what I got is what I think I got.
I recorded this using my Superlux CM-H8A 1" condensor mic, the preamp, and the compressor (at 3:1, -4db or so). Mic'ed at the 12th fret pointing toward the soundhole. I put a low cut filter on it too, but I don't remember what it was set to cut at. The guitar is a yamaha FG-460SA.
I'm just wondering if the guys who really know what's what will take look at it and tell me what they would do differently to track this. I usually don't know what I'm gonna end up doing with a song at the outset, so its hard to say what I'm really 'going for' sound-wise. I guess just a good track I can do anything I want with.
