Hello, I am currently recording a project with an acoustic guitar player who really moves a lot and I have been faced with the task of getting a good sound out of a typical transducer style pickup (powered with built in eq etc.) He plays live with a Crate acoustic guitar amp and it sounds quite good. I am either going to record the guitar (line out of amp) mic the guitar amp or both.

I've noticed that removing some freq's around 500hz seems to help remove some of the unnatural punchiness of acoustic guitar pickups - but i was hoping some of you have more experience in Eq'ing them to get them sounding more natural.

Any tips for Micing an acoustic bass...positions, mics etc?

Thanks! have a great day=)

hi all. Neumann km84...would this be a huge improvement over my mk012,s,on acoustic guitars?
also is it true that the km85 is the same as the 84 but with bass roll off .
peace and love in 2004.

When I listen to the acoustic guitar as I play, the highs stand out the most to me and they sound crisp. Everything sounds like it’s in its proper place. When I record it the mids and lows take over and the highs sound dull. Can this problem be overcome or helped by mic placement? I’ve tried many different arrangements using an SM57 and a Shure Prologue.

What's your opinions on size of room, room surfaces, getting that crystal hi end country sound, or just the details of the best acoustic guitar sound you've ever gotten.
Anybody heard Kevin Gilbert's "Shaming of the True"? The ultimate in Ac Gtr sounds IMO. Anybody have a clue on how he did it?

Hello everyone. This is my first post to this forum, and I'm hoping that many opinions will flow from this post.

I am recording the acoustic steel tring guitar and nylon guitar through guitars' pickup. I hooked my guitars to the preamp --> compressor --> computer's sound card. Is there anyone please show me the compressor setting for these acoustic guitar? Thank you so much in advance.

I'm having a session coming up shortly where the plan is to record vocals and acoustic guitar, some tambourine and background vocals "live" it's a sort of 60's retro songs so any retro tips would be welcome!

I have heard that some people tune their pianos slightly different for recording...
