i a i agree 57 not best for guitar. that is why i only use them for drums. i am exploring it though. probably will end up using DI in the end lol as i am not really looking for a super acoustic sound. But one loves to explore and try new things. I do love the sound of it though if it would just...

I think if you put the 57 on any preamp and crank the gain you will probably get the hiss. i have tried it on atleast 3 and get some level of hiss. but only when cranking it up high. for drums never an issue.

If i can get the hiss down enough i would like to back it off a bit and check it out but also i am trying to eliminate the room as much as possible as i am not looking for too much room acoustics for this recording. I will try a few setups out and post in a week or so. it will be much better...

the sample i shared was exactly that. i cranked the output full blast and lowered the gain saturation as low as i can go without getting a super low signal. i still get a bit of hiss on it. normally i use the 57 on drum type of things that are loud so it doesnt really matter about the gain level...

ECC83 you gave me a good idea. i am going to use the cloudlifter to try and lower my noise floor. The 57's force me to use too much gain on my pre. being that my electrical is a bit noisy i am hoping it can help with the electrical noise being that i will drive the pre less hot.

yea i feel you. im just not looking for an overly warm thick sound. that is why i am choosing to hit it with the shure and lighter strings. If it were just an acoustic and vocal track then maybe i would do condenser with heavy strings.

But i also think i have a slight hum and hiss from bad electrical. Cant really do much about that im my situation so i jist make the best of it. Treating the windows helps alot though

oh yea dudes the window was open all kind of noise coming through lol. also i didnt edit out me slappen the keyboard. i just wanted to test real quick. I will post when i actually record in better setup. there is a main road right outside so there is like an air that it pushes from the traffic...

im not even a guitarist im literally just trying to get a beginning of a song done lol. which is exactly those chords strummed just like that. but i think the last adjustment i make will be to change strings to 10's but also i have another guitar that is bright and lighter i want to try that...

ok i think it was the TLM103 on the guitar that i did not like. I did a quick strum with the sm57 and its much better for me. I added high pass and some high end and i am getting closer to what i am looking for. no other signal processing. I will try going from a 12 to 10 guage next although i...

Hey guys i will try a few things and get back to you with samples. I watched this video from warren i love the way the 57 sounds. Exactly what i am looking for. I was using a tlm 103. I feel it gives me way too much detail and clarity in the wrong ways. Also i am going to try and swap strings...

I just been using one mic

Hello, I find that recording acoustic guitar with just mics makes it hard to mix as it seems to take up alot of the sound stage. would it be better to record with both mic and DI? or am i just doing something wrong?

I am looking to swap some pickups on an electric for something that is brighter. Can you guys let me know what are the brightest pickups you have used? I am really looking for an extended frequency range. I dont want a mid honky sounding pickup. I guess my point of reference would be the gibson...

The only problem is that if you want to reamp without plugins thoses amps take up space

im gonna reamp the s*&t out of everything even the cowbell! fun to experiment!

I wanted to also run drums too but i thought it was crazy. Now i know!

Hmm so you guys think the amp sims are good? I guess i should try that too then

Brilliant. Never knew of this. I want to give it a shot!
