hey guys, i was just wondering. is there any way to reduce the buzz in an electric guitar? i always have this buzz even without gain involved(slightly lesser buzz) maybe a result of it being ungrounded. i have to put my finger on the string area or lower the volume to keep it quiet. my guitar is ok its just annoying esp when the overdrive kicks in. any DIY techniques are welcome.

Hi all,

I'm not a complete newbie on recording, but I don't have any knowledge on mic choice/placement when it comes to the difference (is there?) between a nylon and a steel strung guitar.

Normally there's only 1 acoustic guitar I have to deal with at a time. Mostly I prefer a Beyer M260. Or MD421-II in live situations.

So i finally got my drums sounding decent, and I'm having trouble getting the guitar sound I'm looking for. before i was mic-ing up my old crate combo and the sound was too weak and ambient. last night i tried plugging the line out of my amp into the mixer and it just sounds too fuzzy and distorted but it isn't overblown... any suggestions. ?

Hello...

I'm looking to find a top-notch sample library (not sure if that's the right term) with realistic sounding acoustic & electric guitars (mostly acoustic, hollow-body electric & 12 String)...that can be played via MIDI (MIDI guitar tracks, composed in a DAW.)

Thanks,

Hey guys, I'm having trouble getting my recording sound full. At least in my opinion. Here's some samples

Hey everyone, I often times have a lot of trouble singing if I am not playing my guitar at the same time. There are a lot more fluctuations and screw ups when I am just singing along to the music. Do you guys often record an acoustic artist while he both sings and plays at the same time? If so then I will go out and buy another mic.

hey all. i know there's a wealth of knowledge and experience out there and i'm looking for any suggestions! I currently run my elec guitar through a Line 6 POD live xt pedal ( which is incredible) directly into my digi 002 rack, using PT LE.The sound is pretty good for not being able to record an amp. But now i want bigger and better guitar sound!

hello everyone. I run Pro Tools LE w/ a digi 002 rack on a Mac Pro desktop (Intel). I do a lot of guitar recording but due to a need to keep the noise down (unfortunately) I am forced to record directly into PT. What I do now is run the guitar through a Line 6 Pod XT floor pedal. then run it into a channel on the 002 rack.

I want to use a compressor for my guitar, but I need some tips on what might work.

Most guitar amps compress the signal from the guitar. This happens mostly in the power amp stage of the amp. It is caused by the power supply sagging when the guitar drives the amp hard.

i have a old gibson falcon guitar amp that i like to record with the only problem is when its miced up if i touch the guitar and my studio gear it shocks me. there is no ground on the amp, is this my problem? can it be fixed? thx
