I am looking to record acoustic guitar. A lot of folk and finger picking so low volume playing. Based on what I have read so far I am in the market for Small Diaphragm Condenser(s).

So I am thinking about investing in a new mic or mics but have quite a few questions.

So I am looking to pick up a new microphone for the use of recording male & female vocals. (Primarily male and mostly acoustic style tracks but also some EDM vocal tracking.)

I am also looking to pick up a new mic to record acoustic guitar.

Hi everyone, this is my first post here.

I'm looking to purchase a single mic to record female (alto) vocals, and acoustic and clean electric guitar. My guitar amp is a Princeton Reverb. I know that I should probably get two separate mics but I don't have the space or budget for that as I live in a very small room.

Hi everyone,

Hey guys, I'm hoping someone can help here with fixing an earthing hum on my steel string acoustic guitar.

It has a Fishman infinity preamp and piezo under saddle pick up installed.

Observations : If I touch the metal end jack insert the hum goes away,
I put one hand on the mixing desk the hum is gone,

I'm hoping someone can shed some light on this issue I'm having as I've never heard of anyone suffering from this particular problem. I have an Alvarez acoustic guitar that, when I plug it into anything (an amp, an interface, a PA), the sound comes out alright EXCEPT for the high E string only.

So I cut a track of acoustic guitar using a stereo pair of RODE M5's . And I can hear my mouth sounds and breathing. My room is not ideal - there's noise anyway but the mouth sounds. Bla! I'm about 2 feet from the mics and about 18 to 20 inches above them and have my head cocked to the side breathing away from them. (So maybe 36 inches away).

When I first saw this video I thought for sure that it was faked- pre-recorded and then just videotaped as if it were live. But upon a closer look it seems to be real. What do you think:

2 acoustic guitar recordings

Somewhere in this is my quote of the day,

recording an acoustic guitar in a poorly treated room is like recording it in two bad rooms in one shot.
The acoustic guitar body is a room in itself, which is effected by the room it is being playing in.. Care to word it better, be my guest! Its a good one to remember.
