Hello everyone. First post here and looks like a great community. I am looking for ideas on how to record a solo acoustic guitar and vocal at the same time. I guess my main concern is microphone bleed between the two mics being used. My only condenser mics at the moment are the MXL 990/991 matched set.

Hey all,

Hi,

Good Morning and Happy New Year all.

I was wondering if anyone has any tips for mixing a nylon string guitar? I recorded a song of mine using two mics - (both condensers) one at 12th fret and the other at bridge. Got a great sound while tracking.

I just CAN'T get a good acoustic guitar sound.. please help!

My signal chain:

Shure KSM44 mic -->
Universal Audio SOLO/610 preamp -->
Apogee Duet -->
MacBook Pro -->
Logic Pro 9

Hey everyone! I've got a problem and it seems so basic, but I can't solve it. I'm using Pro Tools to record my acoustic guitar. I have an mbox mini as a USB interface. When I plug the guitar into the MBox, I get this low ringing, electronic sounding buzz.

Hi,

A lot of people might looking for a Solid Top acoustic guitar. Why must be Solid Top? Sound better? What about just a cheap sprauce top? What do you say?

Thanks for sharing the experiences & appreciate!

Hi! I have issues recording good guitar tracks from my amplifier and I'd like to pick up a rack guitar processor that can sound good and have good tones.

Any idea of a cheap rack I can get to sound fairly well before mixing?

Thanks a lot! :)

Hi there. I've been recording bass guitar using a bass pod for ages and have grown sick of it! I record big, dirty sounding bass primarily. I'm looking into buying a mid-range amp for my bass, but am wondering - in your experience, is it best to D.I. bass or use an amp? I know this one tends to split people but I'd love some input please!

Cheers

This is really worrying me because I dont really know what the problem could be! I'll explain. The way that I record my guitars is by direct input. Direct input as in I take my guitar cable, plug it into a quarter inch jack, then plug it into my audio interface. That's really the only way I can do it because I just cant afford to upgrade right now.
