Hey all,

A friend of mine made some great video demos of 4 vintage guitar amps from the 50's/60's. Recorded in the studio with front and back mics, a hint of compression and light reverb. Details in the article.

I am plugging my electric guitar straight into my RME UFX interface and the results are good.

But would it be even better if i had my guitar thru a DI box?

I am just sitting at home recording into Ableton live and Pro Tools.

I have read some things about how it improves the signal, but is it really necessary in my situation?

I owned the Taylor 314CE for years and passed it off to my daughter. I need a new Taylor or something comparable to be able to earn some extra income. I don't really want the electronics. I'd much rather have nothing inside the box.

Been experimenting with using two mics on my acoustic - an SM57 (dynamic), and a single RODE M5 (a condenser). I generally blend these (with the 57 doing most of the work) but the RODE still contributing.

Do you have too many guitars ?. .

You may be guitarded

Great for those Han Solos.

If you play acoustic guitar in a live/stage setting, you should check out the video below.
If there's no internet hocus pocus going on here, then I think this sounds incredible...

I am looking to record acoustic guitar. A lot of folk and finger picking so low volume playing. Based on what I have read so far I am in the market for Small Diaphragm Condenser(s).

Interesting new capo from Fretlocks:

So I am thinking about investing in a new mic or mics but have quite a few questions.

So I am looking to pick up a new microphone for the use of recording male & female vocals. (Primarily male and mostly acoustic style tracks but also some EDM vocal tracking.)

I am also looking to pick up a new mic to record acoustic guitar.
