I'll try those mic positions out mate, thanks for your help. Dan

Thanks for the reply mate I really appreciate it. I am also recording classical guitar but was looking to "widen" and "broaden" the sound of at all possible. I am using 2 AKG C2000b mics so should I just mess about with placement? Cheers

Hi, I have been home recording acoustic guitar for a few years now but have never actually used EQ and such like to improve my recording mostly because I have no idea how to use it! I am using Multi-Track DAW for IPad and am recording using some fairly good hardware! Here is a screenshot of my...

Hi, I have my own home recording studio where I record acoustic guitar, vocals and so on. The way I do this is by having my condenser and dynamic mic's connected to an audio mixer and then from there the mixer is connected to a USB audio interface and then into my laptop (not a mac). Now how...

Hi, I am recording my electro-acoustic (spanish) guitar via an audio interface into my laptop and then edit using Adobe Audition CS5. Is there a plugin or any techniques which I can use that can convert the electro-acoustic sound and make it sound like a normal acoustic? Thanks

I don't have enough scotch for me and my condensers though! :-)

Thanks for your help mate. Dan

Hi, this may sound like a silly question, but this is why I'm posting in the "newbies" section. I have 1x AKG C2000b condenser mic and 2x Shure SM57 dynamic mic's that I use to record acoustic guitar. The question is do I need to warm these mic's up in order to get the best signal from them? If...

Hi, I have been told by several people that when I'm recording (acoustic guitar) that I should not let it peak over about -15db. Now the only problem I have with this is once I have recorded and then I play my recording back it is far too quiet because, like I said, it is only peaking at about...

Hi, please help. I am recording acoustic guitar and all my equipment is pretty much industry standard. I just have a question. When I brought my mixer it says in the instructions that I should turn the gain up until the red "peak" light flashes and then adjust my master volume accordingly. But...

Hi, I am recording acoustic guitar using Adobe Audition CS5. My playing style is predominantly finger picking with the occasional strum. The problem is that finger picking is alot quieter than strumming, so when I am finger picking it is recording at roughly -3 db but when I throw in the...

Hi, I am recording acoustic guitar using 2 x Shure SM57 mics, I have these connected via an XLR splitter going into the same port of my mixer. I am finding that the bass is very "boomy" and this happens no matter where i move the mics. If I move the mic's further away from the guitar then I find...

Thanks everyone for your replies. I will take all of your advice.

Hi, I have recently purchased 2 Shure SM57 microphones because I have heard how good they are for picking up acoustic guitar. I am having some slight problems because I am not "sure" (excuse the pun) where or how to position them. I currently have the first mic positioned directly in front of...

Hi, please help. I want to record an acoustic guitar and keyboard at the same time but I do not know what techniques to use. Basically, I want to record the guitar acoustically through my mic and I want to record my keyboard via a direct input into my mixer. The problem is that I do not want...
