I do this:
Samson C01 condenser into a Tascam488mkII channel pre. The mic is about 4-6 inches away from the bridge of the guitar (i have moved it around). No acoustic treatment in this room (possibly a solution but not sure). Compression 2:1 on way in. I play the guitar and it is lifeless, dull and tinny on tape.
Problem:
There is no texture no matter how much different EQ I apply or reverb etc... and as soon as i place in a mix with other instruments and vocals etc... it get lost completely unless i pump up the fader then it just sounds akward.
Help!
I listen to R n B tunes and the guitar is sweet and well balanced. Or i listen to the beatles, doing some finger picking on the white album or somthing and it is still there... whats my prob?
