Hi there - be interested to know if anyone out there has any particular tips on reducing the amount of noise you get from your fingers slipping on the strings when playing acoustic.
I'm attempting to record acoustic with mics (and if you read the other thread about miking acoustics, I agree with the guy that said don't necessarily think you have to get too close to get a good sound - I get a better sound, so far, putting the mics a bit further back) and the amount of string noise is killing me, especially once you start adding a bit of reverb - jumps right out at you.
As the acoustic guitar is absolutely central to what I'm doing, if anyone has any ideas on how to reduce it (a) while playing - best solution is not to make it in the first place, and (b) once you have it on a track, then I'd love to hear them.
Cheers David
