Hi all,
I'm recording my acoustic guitar (Guild GAD-30r) in my (fairly low-budget) home studio. One thing I noticed in the process is that the guitar has a significant resonance centered around A. I'm haven't figured out which octave, but it's relatively high. If if I play a chord and stop suddenly the resonance is quite pronounced and lingers for a substantial amount of time. This resonance comes from within the guitar itself, and is not an artifact of the room in which it is played.
While I appreciate that the guitar resonates so well, the fact that it is centered at an obvious pitch becomes quite annoying when I record. Does anyone have any useful tips for minimizing the effect of this resonance? In order to scope the term "useful" I would offer "get a different guitar" as one that's probably not so useful to me.
Thanks for reading!
