    acoustic guitar sounds tinny

    New to recording. Have a Yamaha 16-track DAW. Going direct with acoustic guitar. Strumming sounds tinny- meaning thin. Want more umph. Tried EQ, but with minimal results. Any suggestions?

    Masterlink any good?

    I know I might be asking the choir here, but I was just introduced to the Masterlink tonight and don't know much about its performance. Are you all generally satisfied with it? What do you think of it? I tried to find other reviews in this board, but could not find one. Sorry if this is a...

    I have a couple of these. Looking to sell one. It's been used 2 or 3 times on a couple practice sessions. Non-smoke environments. I am just not using it enough to justify having two. Make an offer. Generally $699 new.

    Shure KSM44 for drum overheads?

    Tried a pair of KSM44's for overheads on a drum kit. Gave a big sound, but we ended up going with a couple Shure SM81's instead. They were thinner sounding, but the drummer preferred that to the sound of the KSM44's. So does anyone have experience with the KSM44's as drum kit overheads? In...

    Question for Chris Squire/YES fans..

    What makes the difference to Chris Squire's bass sound on his solo album "Fish Out Of Water" to the sound on the YES albums of that time? His Rickenbacker really twangs on that album, but if you listen to YES's "Going For The One" which came out right after (and included an outtake tune from...

    Why is my sound so "tinny"?

    I am miking steel string acoustic and I am getting a very tinny sound with a sometimes explosive poppy bottom end. I am miking with an AKG C3000B and an Oktava MC012 with the cardioid capsule. The AKG is about 6-8 inches away and 3-4 inches above the whole. I have used the Oktava both above...

    Behringer Ultra-Dyne for vocal and guitar compression during tracking?

    I just got a Behringer Ultra-Dyne Pro with the idea of comressing vocals and guitar during tracking. However, now that I have opened it, I am confused as to what this machine is for. It seems that is might be more for mastering rather than tracking. There is 1 pair of inputs and outputs for...
