When i record my band, the bassplayer goes into the board thru a direct box.

I dont have a speaker emulator or box to record my guitar with.

What is the cheapest most effective box to use get a useful guitar track when going into the board without a mic'd amp?

I am recording the acoustic steel tring guitar and nylon guitar through guitars' pickup. I hooked my guitars to the preamp --> compressor --> computer's sound card. Is there anyone please show me the compressor setting for these acoustic guitar? Thank you so much in advance.

hi all i,m recording close up vocals and acoustic guitar together and was thinking of hiring a u47 for this .It,s a sweet sounding mail voice that is so much part of the guitar that any separation spoils it .i,m getting a nice feel with an oktava mkl2500 but i thought maybe a good u47 would be the business cheers for any inspiration julian

At times, I'd like a less focused sound out of my acoustic guitar than the SRO's and NT1000 gives me.

Any suggestions for good quality dynamics that work well on steel string acoustics?

seems like some cad and sennh. mics are well liked.

I'm having a session coming up shortly where the plan is to record vocals and acoustic guitar, some tambourine and background vocals "live" it's a sort of 60's retro songs so any retro tips would be welcome!

Hey all, I am haveing a tough time recording my guitar when I put it into overdrive. I have heard that getting a good sound on a recording is hard with an overdriven guitar but are there any tips/tricks?

I have been reading up quite a lot about recording and mixing. Why do you have to mic the guitar or bass amp? Why cant you just feed it directly into the mixer?

Thanks :)

Hey,

Is there anything in the $600- range worth looking at as far as small diaphragm condensers go apart from the Oktava MC-012 from The Sound Room and SP C4s? I was thinking used 451s, but I've heard they're quite too bright at times. I was also thinking about SM81s.

Instruments that will be recorded:

I have treated my room a la fiberglass cloud on ceiling, and left the floor live. I like a bit of liveliness since I mostly record acoustic guitar in ORTF with some omni's. I took Ethan's advice from his faq on this and decided I'd try it with the cheaper rigid fiberglass bass traps on the ceiling with coverage at about 80%.

hello-

I need to know about this hard-panning of doubled guitars. (that is computer copy-doubled)

When I hard pan 100% Left and Right, it sounds like its back to Mono ! Am I crazy.?
