Hi -
Hope I picked the right Forum - I've been playing in a trio for the last couple of years. We are currently working a project, recording our second album. We've always recorded on our own home studio. PC based DAW, Audio Interface, pre-amps, condensor & dynamic mics.
Here is my issue and I just can't find a solution. On certain songs our guitar (acoustic) player/singer has a very unique strum that has a lot of back beat. No matter what I do. Mic Position, Direct/Pickup, EQ, Compression I can not get this awful 2 & 4 chunk out of the mix. It really takes away from the guitar sound. So far the winner is using the guitars i-beam pick-up and going direct through a pre-amp/channel strip but I still think the overall tone is blah.
Any ideas? How do you fix the string noise issue. Worth mentioning - the live sound of the guitar is perfect. Recording it is the issue.
Thanks -
