When I was about 20, my woman and I were on the rocks fighting . it was a big deal to her for us to makeup and get along during this trip. Visiting her old friends in Tennessee. I said id do my best. after arrival and greetings. It was 3 couples. 1 car. 1 4x4. We promptly went out to a restaurant and started ordering beers. After dinner feeling the drinks, the group split up into guys and girls. We had rung up a hell of a tab. we were all wasted, not thinking about tomorrow. The boys now were in the 4x4..All of sudden on the way home the driver pulls over to the side and waves the girls on back to the house. The boys had hunting rifles in the back. and ammo. The driver said 'lets go hunt wild dogs'. At night. Drunk. From the back of a pick up 4x4. I looked at my girl as she drove away , saying 'try and get along with everyone'....So the boys piled in the bed, and started shooting rifles in the air as we drove off into some open field. Some dude yelling' dingo stole my baby,,dingo stole my baby'.I'm not about to go out and "live life".
What would that even entail? I
Yes, I totally agree. I'm actually trying to look for a mentor with a studio who would be willing to take me under their wing. I'm very close to getting somewhere on my own. It's just been a frustrating struggle up to this point.Another thing that might help is finding someone who can help mentor you and give you advice. There are often online communities or forums where people can offer feedback and helpful tips, and this might be a good way to get started.
ByeSorry, but after reading all the comments, I've gotten a very different vibe....
Good luck... I'm done here.
YesterdayI can't write songs. I have no musical talent.
TodayI'm very close to getting somewhere on my own.
What part of "this thread is for blowing off steam" do you not understand?Yesterday
Today
Don't sweat it. I'm a weird guy. I get pissed off and say extreme things. But only about things I really care about. On the other hand, I'm one of the most normal dudes you'll ever meet in some respects.4 out of 5 times , I don't understand half of whats going on.
I think it sounds nice and warm, but obviously not completely professional. I know nothing about mic placement for acoustic, which is why I posted it.Do you want to know? Or do you want us to tell you it’s wonderful? So, based on your previous posts, here are my two responses.
1.
it’s wonderful, clean and clear with some decent playing.
2.
it’s very HF prominent, and the finger noise pops out so much it made me wince because the volume was up high and I didn’t expect it.
I suppose the question is really about you. Do you want a warm mellow recording, or a hard bright one. I wish I could play like you, but I can’t, but for me, the sound would depend on what I needed. A bright guitar to cut through and otherwise murky track? It would work in a mix for that, but if the guitar was intended to be the featured source, I’d want far less noise from the left hand.
what do YOU think of it? I presume you tried different placements and this was your preference.
Hmm... so is the finger noise really that big of a deal? Don't some people like to hear the finger noise from the sliding and such? I know I kind of like it.Right - I've tried it on two other systems and the tone of the guitar is there - but the fingers on the strings are very, very loud.
In general, this probably means it's one of two things - most likely, placement. Your mic angle to the sound hole is allowing it's side capture (assuming it's cardioid) to be physically closer to the neck, so if this is so, try the mic on the other side of the sound hole. Imagine the mic as a torch, and think where the light falls. The neck needs to be much darker - does that make sense?
The other possibility is that the mic has a presence peak exactly where the guitar has it's string slide noises - making them stand out. You've given me an idea for another video actually - my acoustic is pretty horrible sounding so difficult to make sound nice and I have a couple of SDC mics that are oppoiste ends of the price scale. Maybe I'll see if I can replicate the sort of problem you have?
