1 Microphone vs 2 Microphones - How to Record Acoustic Guitar (With Rode NT1 and Shure SM57)

[@skk6811]

Here's my approach as a home studio owner, with a relatively small selection of microphones. The technique you're using depends on the role of the guitar in the mix. But I would argue that you should always use at least 2 mics on an acoustic guitar. And the reason why: in post you always want the flexibility of tone, stereo placement etc. Also people generally prefer a huge sounding stereo guitar recording over mono. If it's an acoustic song, it feels much more intimate. If you're only adding some background strumming to an arrangement, you can stereo pan the guitars placing them much more accurately in the mix. On the microphone side, you preferably want to have at the bare minimum of 2 condensers: a small diaphragm on the neck and a large on the body. I'd stay away from dynamic mics, since whenever you're dealing with acoustic guitars, high-end detail rules.

[@AudioHaze]

That’s true! A definitely a good approach, I used the same approach all the time, at the time of this vid all I had was an NT1 and 57 so I made do with what I had :/ that being said, I think the advantage of a single place to record is just reducing the number of variables that may go wrong. That’s why I brought up phase, since beginners may not know how this could effect how the mics cannibalize each other’s signals. Just for the sake of simplicity (and also cost 😁) cheers dude!

[@ishvara_meditations7654]

Multi track the guitar part A. with a different mic. B with a different position. C Both. :-)

[@EzyoMusic]

As a home studio owner, I track acoustic guitar like I track electric guitar. Which 90% of the time is with a single mic, then double-tracked. I put the single mic somewhere near the neck-body joint. I get the huge sound from the mix rather than the guitar.

[@bregn]

This is the best guitar mic’ing video I have ever seen!!! Great job👏

[@AudioHaze]

Wow thank you so much! That truly means a lot!

[@sleonse]

In deed! Soooo practical!!

[@mosty85]

Great video as usual! I agree, one microphone, double track it, stick a very short delay on one of the tracks (0.05s something like that) with feedback turned off.

[@EzyoMusic]

I've always loved how fingerstyle guitar player Antoine Dufour got his acoustic guitar recordings to sound. A large part of it is of course down to his touch and technique. There is a video series of him called "Into the Studio" and in one of the three parts he shows his microphone set-up. He puts an SDC around the neck-body joint, a matching SDC around the bridge and an LDC above the soundhole. He mixes the SDCs wide and the LDC in the center. He also uses a pick-up to augment the bass. I experimented with this and modified it to my own taste, switching the SDC at the brdige with the LDC and putting the SDC above the soundhole, where the LDC was. I kept the mix the same. It makes the guitar a little narrower but puts the bass a bit more solidly in the middle. I think it's a very cool mic technique but I'd only ever use it for solo acoustic fingerstyle guitar.

[@Haze763]

Hello. I'm a new subscriber to your channel. Think I found you when I was researching the for the best budget condenser mics. I have a small bedroom studio and this kinda info is right in my wheel house. Right now I have a MXL v69 condenser, an Electro Voice dynamic and a SM57. I want to get a better condenser and I should be all set for my little studio. This was very helpful. You explain details very well. Thanks for clearing up the out of phase thing. I didn't realize it dropped the volume and low end. I thought it might create some wacky feedback before I watched this. Hahahaa. Great demo man. Keep up the good work!

[@AudioHaze]

Thanks dude I'm glad I could help! If you need any help decided on a condenser just let me know haha

[@LeonardoLima-nk4fv]

Nice! the sm57 gives some bottom and warm tone to the condenser more detailed sound, i like the position 1 and 5, more open and less boomy for me! of course, somebody pointed here, record with 2 mic , you can dial amounts on the mix, even if you choose to not open the pan (thats when phase issues can sucs), you can find a tone, in a nicer way than just grab a eq foor 1 mic!

[@Swithyyyy]

You’re right, most of what I hear about phase thus far has been to either check it or flip it. Masterful explanation. Would the same apply if I were to double track using say an SM57 and a LDC separately? As opposed to the same take documented simultaneously.

[@AudioHaze]

Yes phase would still apply on a double track. But because double tracking is meant to bring out a chorus-like doubling effect, the variations between each take will make the phasing issues seem less problematic. The more you separate your two takes into a stereo image the less noticeable it will be. If you put the two takes on top of each other phase issues will be more apparent. I think the best practice would be to just zoom in on your waveforms and nudge them until they align close enough (if they seem out of phase in the first place, thats where the EQ I used comes in, or a utility in Ableton). If you can't get it aligned well, consider changing on of the microphone positions. Hope that helps!

[@peace4531]

The thing with the one mic position(Position 2) is that it captures a lot of low end which in a dense mix would fight with bass so how do I deal with that issue?

[@amironline]

The one mic sounds better to me as I can hear much room in the stereo setups! I don't know wether it is due to the lack of acoustic treatment in the room or it is just the way the stereo takes sound!

[@AudioHaze]

That makes sense! Yeah this room wasn't acoustically treated at all so I can definitely see how that was a concern here :)

[@KordTaylor]

Nice video! I like your descriptions. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@marizuokereke7347]

Good video. The tubes under the bars on a vibraphone are resonating bodies, though.

[@RafaelOliveros]

Great video! Love it!

[@charliebryce3783]

There is another option. You could di the guitar and mic on the 12th fret. The Di gets a great low end, but tinny at the higher frequencies, whist the mic does great job on the higher frequencies, but picks up alot of mud in the lower frequencies. So you simply low pass thé Di and high pass the mic, making sure the 2 eqs cross over.

[@Sarsour_]

[@tommywin3359]

Hey Great Video!! want to hear your opinion Many mixers say that Mono guitar mixing is the safest way to do, But I think this will lack a lot of stereo width, So If I copy my mono recording to another track,then Pan one track to Hard Left another track to Hard Right, will it achieve the effect of recording with two or more microphones?

[@AudioHaze]

It really depends on the effect you want to have on your guitar, for example wider acoustic guitars are pretty common in pop music. Instead of copying the mono track and hard panning them though, I would double track it! That way you have a different take on each ear, which gives it a much richer sound just as long as both takes are solid :)

[@darikas3325]

No, copying the same track an panning it is just going to be louder, but not stereo. Double tracking is an option to get it stereo - or using stereo delay with different repeat times on each side for the mono track.

[@pedaltasters380]

Nice sound. A bit boomy when you play the low E string. Notch out that low frequency a bit and you're good to go!

[@AudioHaze]

Thanks!

[@bluzikmusic]

Thanks for your video. What's your opinion regarding using one mike at 14/12 while simultaneously recording from the guitar preamp?

[@AudioHaze]

So like an ambient tone mixed with a DI? Personally I much prefer a mic'd tone, but the more the merrier! If you can blend to taste or use the DI input as a texture underneath the mic'd signal, that could create a killer tone :)

[@bluzikmusic]

@@AudioHaze Thanks for taking the trouble to reply. I record using the fabulous Maton ER90c which has an internal mike as well as the piezo. Those two can be blended as preferred but with a single output. So with an external mike you could say I'm recording from three devices. Thanks again for the video.

So I'm trying to record vocals but mainly acoustic guitar in my bedroom, I have an AT2020 but my HUGE problem is: it captures ALL the background noise, like neighbours, cars and even the birds chirping outside... I thought about setting the mic at a low gain and normalize the levels later, but I'm not sure if this will get rid of the unwanted noises... I thought about buying an SM57 but I'm not sure if it will solve the problem either... what would you do in this situation? I've been stuck on this for a while ahaha

@@AudioHaze Hello again! Can i ask you, what mic preamp do you use with your sm57, my focusrite scarlett 3d gen does not have enough gain to boost the sound apparently so i'm guessing i need a mic preamp?

[@AudioHaze]

@@airbreath9891 I have a Scarlett 18i20 which for all intensive purposes is the same machine, just more inputs, it should work! You'll have your preamps about 75% to 80% of the way up but its plenty quiet. You can actually watch my video on the SM57/SM58 vs the SM7B to compare the noise floors. If you are worried about the preamp gain, I would recommend the Motu M2, or even still, the UMC202HD should have more gain than the Scarlett, it just may not be the best quality preamps

[@EduardoCruz-tr4mz]

I got the same Microphone Shure sm57 and I can’t not even have a close sound like that

[@AudioHaze]

Well to be fair these are blended tones for the most part, perhaps its the guitar? There's so many things in the chain after all

[@TC_Conner]

What were your levels (gain?) set at? Doesn’t that have a huge impact on the recording no matter the mic? I struggle with that more than mic placement or mic type.

[@AudioHaze]

My levels are always set to peak at -12dB and then eventually processed or boosted to -6dB for export. That has my preamp gain anywhere from 12-3 o'clock depending on the microphone :) this does effect the tone, although its also a big factor in controlling noise floor more than anything.

[@AudioHaze]

I've never tried them before no, I actually hadn't heard of the brand until recently, seems like they specialize in streaming microphones or am I wrong? Cheers!

[@cjpreyes]

@@AudioHaze yes, hmm.. I've heard about the Maono having sound card interfaces usually for streaming via phones.. it can be used via computer to, but mostly their target are phone streamer consumers. MAONO CASTER LITE AM 200 VS MAONO CASTER AM 100 they have Condenser Mics and lapels from XLRs which usually requires Phantom power, 6.5mm, 3.5mm, and even USB type microphones.. so far it just works.. but I think the maximum sound it can take before it clips is what differs from having an xlr with Phantom power vs the one that doesn't have.. not sure.. but if you can get to check on them.. they have preety good quality and price ratio.. Hoping you could go and have it a try yourself, and maybe it can also add a new set of viewers as it's starting to get into the onlie market nowadys.. For now, I believe, yeah having any condenser mics can still be of good use if you have one and work your way around them, but sometimes it's also nice to have something that looks and sounds good while recording or streaming.. Really love to have the SHURE SM7B... But it's just too expensive.. Some of the Mics I'm trying to save up are of the following even though I don't have a treated environment.. to be used for streaming and recording >SHURE SM7B for pro looks? And clean sounds as it has good noise reduction? Uhm does not hear much of the people talking on the other side.. a very quiet mic.. omnidirection sound.. haha can't explain in a simpler way. Haha (so far too expensive.. not on my priority list) >RODE NTG 3 (Just want to have a Large Condenser Boom Mic, great bass sound... great for band recording I guess? Not sure if I still need this if I will have Mics per person singing and playing instruments?? Will this just cause phasing issues due to have one on top of them all as an overhead plus also having their individual dynamic Mics? RODE NT5 PAIR VS SHURE SM57 (FOR ACOUSTICS esp guitars) since I don't have a great pickup mic.. I have ang SM58.. but I'm not sure.. I don't think I like the way it sounds in my guitar.. or maybe just wrong placement.. (saw your vid about it) but so far.. loving the sound quality of these two mic. And having a hard time which one to get.. (or do I still need to get one) AT2020 - So far loving the looks and sound quality, not just in most of your vids. Haha! But in other reviews too.. (since it's a condenser mic.. maybe I can use it for acoustic guitars and not buy the one intended for just instruments like the SM57 or RODE NT5 PAIR) bought Maono Au-Pm 320.. still waiting for it.. but it's cheaper than the AT2020.. looks like it it a way, but still having difference on the top part of the mic.. slapping a foam on top.. you'll never know the difference in looks.. haha!!.. still not sure if I can spot the difference if I would buy an AT2020 too.. (I think you can buy two Maono au-pm320 vs AT2020) Having a really hard time against budget and wanting to have one.. hahaa!! PS.. I also bought some podcast mics.. haha so far I don't get to use them as much.. since they are more really for podcast styles and not singing.. haha SHURE MV7 [MicroUSB to USB with app and XLR] hmm. Its ok.. not that spectacular.. haha. Love the ease of using it.. but yeah works like a podcast mic. Reduction of noise on the sides.. RODE PODMIC [XLR] hmm... Love the look.. BUT IT'S SO HEAVY!! For the price.. I think it's ok I guess.. but I think you can just buy a something else.. don't think I'm liking it. Haha!! You can buy 2 RODE Podmics vs 1 SHURE MV7. Maybe go for NT1? Or Podcaster(but don't like the looks of it. Haha!) Or if maybe have a great budget.. just buy 1 SHURE SM7B HAHHA!! Focusrite Condenser mic which cane with the Audio Interface.. this I'm loving so much. Have recorded a lot with it already.. clean audio too even though you can hear yourself and other environmental sounds in the headphone monitors.. but even without noise reduction. It sounds great on audacity (JUST Turn off your fan, or and Airconditioner.. then just click noise removal if you need to.. but sometimes it affects the vocals in a bad way.. Hmm.. Lapels? Bought two lapels.. Boya lapels.. which need batteries.. and one Maono Lapel which soes not need any battery. Just plug it in both 3.5mm jacks Wireless lapel Saramonic blink B2 pro (2 wireless transmitter and 1 Receiver (hmmm. Its price is like one SHURE MV7 (it's just ok.. like a lapel mic.. only wireless.. but what I,like is.. you can use it to make your audio interface or instrument to become wireless by just plugging it into the 3.5mm port mic in the transmitter [What I don't like is the latency.. problem of every wireless device so far) Can't use it in the stream. Since I plug it in the Focusrite Audio interface, and the other one has a Condenser Mic.. if the band is playing and singing then the speaker comes in and turns on the Saramonic wireless lapel.. you can hear it like an echo since you get to hear a delay of the band playing into the wireless lapel vs having it real time on the condenser (What we fried to do to reduce the delay.. is to hook all of the instruments and mic into one mixer or audio interface.. then ouput it all to one wireless transmitter.. then the other wireless transmitter uses the lapel. Then the receiver goes into the audio interface.. making all of them have their own delays to one ouput source (TADA!! No more out of sync audio from one another - THANKS TO "TLDR - A youtuber who also does audio reviews - gave me an idea on how to take out delay.. but his answer was.. why not connect it all to the camera or the video splitter.. I forgot what he said exactly.. but what he said and what I did was fairly same.. tried something which worked then saw his comment then ending up having both ideas put to use hahha) Hmm.. RODE Videomicro, Videomic pro plus, VideoMic NTG... so far.. was to be use for vlogs.. but really wanted to test if I can use it as a normal mic and get an adapter and use it going from 3.5mm to XLR.. Can't try cause the adapter I bought from BOYA has some ground issues.. not sure why... was hoping it to be an NTG 3 boom mic alternative so I can use it both for cameras and Audio interfaces.. but haven't got it to work.. but Itleast I can use it for some 3.5mm jacks for better mic sounding.. but maybe just a lapel if I'm just going to talk by myself instead... hahha) Lastly.. debating if I still want A RODE NTG 5 [XLR](SO FAR. IT'S cheaper than the RODE NTG 3 (BEST among RODE boom mics so far.. accdg to what I watch in reviews. But has a BASSier sounding which some people like more.. the NTG 5 sounds like the RODE videomic NTG [3.5mm] for the camera.. problem is that.. there is some static problems in most videos of RODE NTG 5 Whoooooo!! So sorry this is sooo long.. But just wanted to get it out there. Hope you can get your hands on the Maono Au-Pm 320 and make a review out of it.. having a lot of mics.. makes me rethink of maybe just selling them since it costs alot. And you know what. Haha. I don't get to use them all.. So far what we always use is the Focusrite condenser[XLR need Phantom power], SHURE MV7[XLR], and Maono Au-Pm360tr [3.5mm condenser microphone] And that's it.. really love to sell the RODE Podmic if Iwont still be able to use it.. it's so heavy!!!

Like usb mic condensers no phantom power needed? Will they still sound better than the other? Or should I rely on what the specifics on the mic say like self noise, or maybe db gains etc? Really curious if will both just sound the same?.. or it just so happens that there are different ports nowadays whether its 3.5mm, 6.5mm, usb, or even xlr? Thanks!!! So sorry for the very long comments.. just wanted to put my heart out. Maybe you got some inputs too. Or others on your channel might answer these questions. Anyways!!!! Really proud! CONGRATULATIONS and Keep it up! 🎤🎙🎙🎼🎵👏🤗👍💯 Bought an Audio Technica AT2020[really a queit mic.. sounds much natural.. but has low gain when compared to the Maono I can't hear much of the fans. Great for recording even in a not so treated or semi treated environment] and Maono AU-PM320[so sensitive or maybe, not just good at rejecting noise? It is much bassier but I can here the fans than the Audio Technica. Great for recording in a quiet or treated environment]... hmmmm... so maybe all microphones can sound great in a Treated environment? Anyways.. now I see the difference between this mics. Apparently I have a prob with the Maono Mic I just bought... after using it with the needed 48v phantom power, when you turn off or unplug the mic then decide to use or turn it on again.. there is static/ground (TSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH) [Like when your TV is broken or can't pick up a signal..] that suddenly becomes present.. I tried to unplug the cables and put it back.. and it still has some ground.. then I tried using other my other condenser mics and it works.. so I thought it might be a cable or the audio interface port.. Apparently.. I figured that it might be the microphone.. when I tried it again the next morning. The microphone worked.. but then when I turned it off and back on.. it has that static issue again... So I kept trying.. then I figured that if you wait for about 5mins or more... you can use the microphone again.. not sure why.. but it's like some static or ground or a short circuit or somekind of power fault in the microphone happens.. it takes up the 48v and doesn't loose it for about 5mins or more when turned off. So now I can only use the mic after waiting for 5mins or more.. don't see any issues of it in KZbin or any other reviews somewhere else or microphones that has this kind of issue.
