First of all I'm new to the forum and new at recording and my gear is as follows:
- Macbook Pro
- DAW StudioOne 4
- Rode NT2A
- Presonus StudioLive 16 Series 3
Ive been trying to track acoustic guitar with the NT2A going through my StudioLive 16 but for some reason the audio is just not at all what i expected. I have tried different mic positioning (6"-2' away and from the bridge to the 3 fret), I have tried adjusting my gain, and have messed with the different setting on the mic it self. My end result is always basically the same, lots of low end and overall sounds muffled, some what metally if that makes sense. I have seen some people on youtube get amazing results and im sure they have done some processing im sure even after that the initial recording is not so different.
I have achieved a fairly decent recording but it took 50% of the audio to come from DI and fairly heavy EQ. I really have no idea what i am doing and would just like to get some tips to fix this. One more thing, vocals sound crystal clear, so i have no idea as to why guitar is just not sounding very good at all (Takamine Pro Series 3 new strings)
Thanks!
