The Lost Cord

A place where tape IS important!

ART supply stores (and some paint supply stores) sell "Artist's Tape", which looks like standard masking tape, except for 3 important differences:

1. It's pure white.
2. It's smooth.
3. It won't leave a sticky residue.

The Dreaded Mixdown

Micing Acoustic Guitar

Many people have a difficult time Micing an acoustic guitar to where it will sit well in the final mix. Usually, it's too boomy or too tinny, or too many finger squeeks, etc. Here's a little trick I use to record a mono rhythm guitar when I need it. I use an omni, but a cardioid should work almost as well.
