Im looking for some recommended mic setups/placements for Micing acoustic guitars, kick drums and high hats. ive searched around a bit but would still like more suggestions.

thanks in advance!

Hi all,

I thinking of parting with my venerable Allen & Heath GS3 desk and replacing with a preamp with 4 inputs. I can route via the TotalMix software that comes with my RME Mutiface card.

New SE GM10 microphone to record acoustic guitar not sounding great...what new equipment do i need?

Setup:
- Core 2 Duo laptop with Cubase.
- Soundcard MAudio Firewire Audiophile (no phantom power or preamps)
- Mixer Phonic 1002 (phantom power)
- Yamaha P5 Active Monitor Speakers

Hi all,

Setting the scene...

Hi I am starting work on some recordings for a friend soon and I am looking for some Micing suggestions regarding a beyer m-160 ribbon mic

The stuff we will be working on is acoustic guitar and vocals mainly. A kind of slightly folky slight nick cave kind of feel. The guitar is mainly fingerpicking so its not too loud. We will be recording the vocals separately.

Hi, so, I'm gonna be spending my days off this week recording my former supervisor's acoustic duo. To check out some of the stuff they've done go to: http://www.myspace.com/jamesswafford The first to songs on there are with his current guitarist/vocalist.

I didn't know where else to put this, so here goes...As Davedog and others may know, I've had issues with getting a decent bass sound on my tracks. Many reasons for this, won't re-hash them here. Anyway! Friend of mine suggests to me, since this bass player is all over the fret-board, low to mid to high and such, why not think of it like a keyboard? Take the bass track, make two copies.

For acoustic guitar / vocals, should I get:
A single mic
A matched pair?
Condenser over dynamic?

The mic is strictly for recording purposes

i'm fairly new to recording, but i've put together a very small home studio to record some of the groups i'm in. most of the research i've read online says when it comes to the quality of recording, use your ears. the biggest problem with that, as both a musician and being the one recording, is that your ears can lie to you

Hi all,

What a great forum! So much useful information - unbelievable! I read almost all threads regarding classical guitar but still was not able to get a clear idea of how should I approach my current project.
