Ok. I've been trying to record an acoustic guitar track. My friend and I have a RODE Nt-2a, an AKG c 200B, 2 57's, 2 smason c02s, and a Shure KSM 27. I've tried many diff mic placements with many diff mics. The problem is when we go to record we get terrible string buzzing, the acoustic is a Martin DM Mahogany Dreadnought. Any ideas on how to get the strings to stop buzzing?

As I am just about to shell out some serious cash, I wanted to make sure I have not forgotten any options. Basically, I am looking for a compressor, an Eq and a reverb unit that would be appropriate for most of my recordings (classical, jazz and world).

I was wondering knows of any decent acoustic drum samples. 24bit would be a plus. I would like to have a nice library of stuff for sampling in if I needs be when mixing.

Cheers.

Hey all ... when i record my acoustic guitar .. the mic picks up a lot of the strumming sound .. as in .. the pick .. hittin the strings ... any way to minimize that ? thanks :)

hi,
Any suggestions on best panning on these 2 sensarios:

Recording 1 vocal with one acoustic track...( would i center vocal and clone the acoustic track then pan hard left and right?)

Recording 1 vocal and 2 different acoustic tracks (vocal center acoustoic 1 hard left acoustic 2 hard right).

Well as I was recording some acoustic songs and using pro tools for the first time my mic collection is very few right now and I figured I would try the D6 over a cheap AKG dynamic.

I've got an upcoming Orcestral concert to record and I have a chance to experiment a bit with surround recording. Having very little xperience with this other than having listened to a bunch of surround DVDs with classical music, always feeling ripped of because the mix sounded unnatural and nothing like a "live concert experience".. (I'm expecting my first won't either..)

I've been told that, with the mics I have (two knockoff Oktava MK012's), a good way to mic an acoustic guitar is to put one mic about 5 inches away perpendicular to the 12th fret and one about 5-6 inches away pointing just to the left of the hole. This sound effective? If not, any advice? And, if so, should the levels be as high as I can get them before they peak?

Hi all, my roommate is a solo acoustic guitarist and recently got a job at a local music hall which sounds very, very good. His bosses said they would let him record in there, and I am writing to ask about techniques and mic suggestions for such a setup.
