Hey everyone, I have a pretty balanced sounding rhythm section for a song I'm putting together which has a single line classical guitar as the melody (with occasional overdubs from electric). I've done a very soft mix to clean up and make space for when I'm recording the melody. Mostly panning, gates on the drums, light reverb on certain tracks. When I go to track the classical it has very little presence over the full rhythm section, little sustain, and just overall very thin sounding and unattractive. I know this is more of a step in the mixing process, but with how little it sounds raw, I'm thinking I might have to rethink instrumentation for the melody, rather than record it sounding like this only to find I should scrap it in the mixing process. The guitar is being mic'd stereo with two different condenser mics, equidistant from sound source. I've tried: adjusting volume on the pro tools mixer to bring it above rhythm section, putting sends out to left and right aux tracks each with staggered delays and reverb to try to create more of a presence of the track. I've still not had a result that's convinced me I don't need to rethink my approach. For those interested, the guitar is a Cordoba C3M, a lower end Cordoba guitar. I know the value of recording a good sound at its source before mixing, and the guitar does have adequate sustain and volume, being an acoustic instrument. I'm just wondering if any of you have experience on doing something like this. The groups I love that do this manage to do it beautifully, and obviously have many more resources than I do, but I'm just feeling a little discouraged and am looking for a way to move forward. Thanks in advance for any input you have.
