This is a very broad question... This thread is asking from anything to mic set ups, mixing, microphone selection, anything that deals with recording an acoustic guitar in an untreated room. Share your thoughts, tips, tricks, techniques

Hey everyone quick question. If using Cubase 5 what plugins do you normally use to record acoustic guitar (This is my first time with acoustic). Also, would you suggest running the guitar straight from a mixing board to an audio interface, or Micing it? If you suggest Micing where do you normally place your condensers?

Dear friends

I'm trying to find books or other media (or even courses) on recording of classical music (choirs, chamber ensambles, orchestras, solo performers, etc.), but all books are on pop-rock microphone/recording/mixing techniques. Can anyone give me any advises?

Thank you

I am looking to get a decent placement for recording plain acoustic guitar. I am running digital tape recorders (Tascam), which I mix through a Yamaha board. Up til now, everything I have worked on sounded at the very least, decent, with minimal noise. I've mostly been recording electric jazz guitar, electric bass, vocals, and some percussion.

I'm planning to venture into the world of sound engineering on a purely amateur basis and I'd like to have a starting point.

I play classical violin and a bit of electric blues guitar but I can predict that most of my recordings will be acoustic.

would love to know people's tips for mastering live acoustic recordings. i run acoustic gigs in london, record people's sets then mix them either on the Yamaha AW16G i record them on, or take the recordings into Cubase and Audition to have more of a play with.
