Is it actually possible to remove fretboard squeaks from an acoustic guitar track after it's been recorded? If so, what kind of technique is employed? Thanks.

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.

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!

Hey,

Is there anything in the $600- range worth looking at as far as small diaphragm condensers go apart from the Oktava MC-012 from The Sound Room and SP C4s? I was thinking used 451s, but I've heard they're quite too bright at times. I was also thinking about SM81s.

Instruments that will be recorded:

I have treated my room a la fiberglass cloud on ceiling, and left the floor live. I like a bit of liveliness since I mostly record acoustic guitar in ORTF with some omni's. I took Ethan's advice from his faq on this and decided I'd try it with the cheaper rigid fiberglass bass traps on the ceiling with coverage at about 80%.

I own the Audio-Technica AT4033 & AT3035 condenser mics coupled w/ Aphex 107 mic preamp. I'm trying to capture some good tones when tracking an acoustic guitar. I've experimented and found that if I place the mic between where the body and neck meet, I get some pretty good tones versus getting either a boomy or boxed tone.
