Hi,

Whenever I mike-up an acoustic guitar, it always seems to drown out all the other instruments and singers.

No matter how I adjust the equaliser settings for that channel, nothing seems to make a significant difference.

I'm sure someone will be able to help me with this!

I'm tracking guitars for my band and need some good starting advice on how to adjust my gain stages to get a clear heavyily distorted tone that sounds tight...

Here's anouther question for you guy's

Anybody ever track vocals or whatever using a splitter or perhaps even 2 mics side by side through 2 mic preamps to seperate tracks?

I thought this might be useful if you had 2 diff sounding preamps (ex. one dark, one bright) that during mixdown you could blend accordingly to taste, or even pan left/right etc.

Hey guys, as from the jp22 post i know that a lot of you guys have good advice so ifugred i would ask you a question.

I just got a C414 B-XLS and i was wonderng if anyone has any tips on mcing a guitar cab with this mic. I usually use a 4033 throug my la-610 aaout a foot away off axis. Whcih gives me good result once i double track and pan hard.

Hallo
I'm recording soon classical singer with piano in the church.
Have two cardioids (RODE NT5) and two omnis (Gefell M270)
I was thinking to do it with just a couple of microphones, but since yesterday I know that the pianist will play some solo pieces also, so my question is: what would be your approach to set up the mics?

HI everyone, I need some advice on how to mic a string trio. The condenser mics I have are the following:

2 AT4033
1 KSM44
2 C1000's (forget about using these. .)

how should I place the mics and how should I place the musicians as well. this is the first time I'm recording strings.

thanks

Thought I'd throw this one out to the group at large. Anyone have any experience recording or Micing a Pipa? (if you've gotta ask what it is, then nevermind... ;-) )

I'm a student at the Conservatory of Recording Arts in Tempe, Arizona. I start a project next Wednesday, it's my first recording. It goes unsaid that I want to have the best recording in my class. Any Micing techniques, and mic types (I have many at my disposal) that you all could recommend would be very appreciated and helpful.

I've been told that, with the mics I have (two knockoff Oktava MK012's), a good way to mic an acoustic guitar is to put one mic about 5 inches away perpendicular to the 12th fret and one about 5-6 inches away pointing just to the left of the hole. This sound effective? If not, any advice? And, if so, should the levels be as high as I can get them before they peak?
