I've seen many videos on Youtube from amateur musicians where they are able to record themselves playing an acoustic guitar and sing at the same time and the audio quality is excellent. I've also seen professionals such as Paul McCartney do this but I guess they can afford the sound engineers to make great recordings in almost any situations.
I want to try doing the same thing but I don't understand how they can make such good recordings without hearing any acoustic guitar bleeding into the vocal track. Or there are bleeds, I just can't hear them after proper mixing? Is there a trick? I am thinking if I use any LDC on vocals....it'll definitely pick up my acoustic guitar sound....even if I plug in directly into my interface. And if I want to mic my guitar amp, the SM57 will still pick up a bit of the vocal...albeit less than the other way around I am guessing.
What's the trick?
