When I first began recording acoustic guitar, that was the temptation. It seemed logical to record as hot as possible and right in front of the sound hole, especially as when recording with a drummer, it could minimize drum bleed. While that can net some very usable sounds {for example, a certain thickness that can go well with drums and/or percussion of varying colours}, I also find that not recording hot can net very usable sounds. Nowadays, I'd never record that way. I'd record an electric DI so there's no chance of drum bleed and then put the acoustic on afterwards. It was a long while before that occurred to me but now it's my standard if I'm recording with a drummer on a song that has acoustic guitar and we're tracking together.I habitually have gain settings too hot when tracking acoustic guitars. I find that to negate boom and mud I really have to back off the gain and record lower than you might think. Anyone concur?
You might just have a bad guitar with a 'Wolf note'?Do you have any ideas on how to stop an annoying piercing high string? shareit app vidmate apk

The poster's link is to a Vietnamese site that has electric cooking items for sale. I strongly suspect it's a "bot" that made the posts. (They seem to be getting better at plucking sentences from older threads!)I'M CONFUSED - you say we can hear your stool squeak, but you only joined today and I can't find any music posted?
Fine playing! I can hear the 'room' specifically on the higher sections, like at 1:00. How was it recorded? I don't hear any stereo spread. I'd probably knock some lower end off with EQ, there's a little boominess at times.Latest recording from my son. Not great, I cannot get him interested in the technical side!
He is playing a lot to become error free as much as possible because he wants to perform live.
Constructive criticism welcomed and then I shall give details of the recording MO!

Ha! "Room" yes! He has recorded that in his kitchen because I think that is where he has his laptop setup now for Skype and with a USB mic! That is a Citronics CCU3, resolutely mono of course. Breaks my heart because he has a MOTU M4 and a pair of basic but decent SDCs, Berry C2. His main room/bedroom sounds better.Fine playing!

It is pure mono, and the ambient noise intrudes - not just the room, but breaths, foot shuffling, etc. BUT, terrific playing. In a proper studio with a couple of mics set to capture a little more of the guitar without the noise, and maybe a bit of attention (on your son's part) to those things that do intrude that he can control, and it would be "Print it!"Latest recording from my son.
