Recording acoustic guitar
Hi, I’m not happy with my acoustic guitar recording. I’ve recorded successfully in the past but that was strumming the guitar. I’ve attempted recording finger picking style on my Taylor Grand Pacific about 50 million times using an sm57 and on separate takes my AKG P170. The latter is too brittle and the 57 is not at all smooth and the tone sounds like clock chimes. On both occasions I have the mic pointing at the 12th fret going through an Apollo twin with no plug ins active. Joseph Berg suggested that another mic might be the answer and recommended the Shure SM81 condenser mic. Does anyone out there record finger style acoustic guitar, if so, what is your setup, do you use a compressor or other effects on the way in? This is royally doing my head in. tia Geoff

@Geoff Holmes If you have the Music Production Cheat Sheet Binder, starting on pg. 13 it includes various mic techniques for recording acoustic guitar. Strings can be an issue as well. I use Ernie Ball Earthwood Rock & Blues 80/20 Bronze Acoustic Guitar Strings, 10-52 Gauge.

@Tom Baldwin @Geoff Holmes is having the recording issues, I use a SM57 that works great for me.

I find it important to keep my studio clean and organized. When it’s not, I’m sitting at my desk thinking what needs to be done, which stifles my creative flow. How often, and with what, depends on your environment. Hope this helps…
