I hear that double tracking is a nice way to get a full acoustic sound. I also understand that it is typically done with two mono tracks, but I am wondering if it can be done effectively with two stereo tracks, done in XY configuration, or is this overburdening the recording?

Hello again,

Is there any overwhelming advantage to recording acoustic guitar with two or more mics? As a general principle, would better engineer's prefer that everything come together on one mic, or would they prefer to have two or more sources to work with?

I am looking for a way to get a decent sound for acoustic guitar. I have tried a few different techniques that might be considered standard methods, without success. The sound is not appealing to my ear.

Hi me again.

I'm currently mixing my bands album and got a query regards bass guitar.

I have set up a Waves C1 compressor in split mode so I can tame a particular frequency rangeas it reaches the set threshhold and this works great for the job.

Hi,

I've been running a Roland 707 through an Orange OR80 guitar head, into an 4x10 Ampeg bass cab, to get some crunch on the drum machine.

I've been using the 'Hi' input on the amp.

Hi Guys, very nice forum!

i read a lot of threads about recording the electric guitar (distorted).
most ppl say, Micing the amp is the way to go.
i have some questions for this, this is my gear... can you tell me if i can get a good result with it please!

I am starting to build amps, and I would like to record how they sound. I am mainly building high gain amps, with metal in mind. I currently use a Peavey Valveking cab (ugh, getting a cab with V30s soon), a Shure SM58 into an XLR to 1/4 inch adapter (quality loss) into my laptop's mic in. Running Ubuntu Loonix, using Audacity. Using a Schecter Damien FR with EMG 81/60.

Recently I decided to record some acoustic tracks in n-track, and while my pick up seems to work on my amp it won't even pick up the sound on my interface and barely on my boss br-1200. The pick up is Dean markley. I think it might not meet some type of weird power requirement kinda of like a phantom powered mic, but then again I'm new to this.

I am struggling to get this guitar track down correctly, it is mostly finger picking patterns in a 7/8 time signature. It is around 5-6 minutes long but I have been attempting to break it up into 3 parts though I still find it difficult to stay on time with the metronome though.
