I'd like to buy a good condenser mic for recording classic guitar.
In external studios I have used AKG but they are a bit too expensive.
I would like to know if sombody has tried the sontronics stc1 and stc2. And what you think about them, because they have the right prices for me.
I need a mic good for classic guitar and also vocals possibly.

say i have a solid state mic preamp like a trident, or Neve or something like that and a solid state power amp like a QSC rmx2450. or even for the preamp use of a 610. would that be acceptable and yeild good results for use as a guitar head before a cabinet.

This is my first post and I would really like some life saving help on this one.

Hi folks... I have an issue with some recently recorded guitar tracks.

-The levels of each track are fine
-I used my Marshall DSL50 head and a Yamaha 4x12 cab
-I miked it with a Shure SM57
-They were recorded direct into sonar, no outboard processing

I have a song that I want the chorus to have power. Can someone help with technique to make this sound more powerful?

What I have now:
1 track with a Les Paul through the AC30 TB
1 track with a Telecaster through a Small Tweed

How do you double up guitars and make them sound smooth?

Thanks

hi whats the best way to record guitar ? i have a Alesis multimix 8usb, a marshal MG50DFX, Cubase SX3, and a microphone. how should i use these?

i am currently Micing the amp and recording that way but it sounds really rubbish and I'm getting this horrible echoy sound folowing it. a bit like reverb. i get this sound even when i connect the guitar directly to my Alesis multimix

Hi all,

What a great forum! So much useful information - unbelievable! I read almost all threads regarding classical guitar but still was not able to get a clear idea of how should I approach my current project.

For hard rock music, what do you people all think the best way to track/pan the guitars is?
For a band with 2 guitarists where one isn't necessarily the lead, I've been recording 4 tracks and balancing them evenly.

-GuitarA - 2 tracks, one extreme left and one extreme right, both at the same level
-GuitarB - 2 tracks, same setup

Hi Guys 8-)

any advice for an entry level mic to rec a really stunning (handcrafted Guild...) acoustic guitar?
I wish I could preserve most of it's flavour without selling my soul to Uncle Lou...

thanks :)
