This is my setup
Condenser (or sm57) > Tube Pre > Compressor > Computer (cool edit)
First off, I am quite new to any home recording, but I still understand the basic uses for each of the knobs on compressor. Their application in conjunction with mic'ing distances and such REALLY confuse me still. I am having a hard time getting a NATURAL sounding acoustic guitar recorded on my computer. I am getting a very boomy sound no matter where I place either of my micrphones. It seems the only alternative is to place them over a foot away from the guitar, which leaves the whole "spacial effect" which I am not looking for.
There is no specific question as to how to solve my problem, but I am looking for any mic'ing suggestions or any tricks that will help me discover what this equipment can do. I do not know what to begin to change to start solving problems. I have the initiative to learn more but the complexity grows at an enormous rate when i begin to add more things to the line such as a compressor. Any suggestions would be helpful. Thanks
