Recording Acoustic Guitar 101 - Warren Huart: Produce Like A Pro

[@gbaxter6465]

I have about 30 mics in my locker and i LOVE SM57's on acoustic guitars. It softens the brashness of new strings and roll off some of the shrill of certain guitars that have a lot of top end (Taylor etc).

[@Producelikeapro]

Hi G Baxter! I agree! I love my 57 on Acoustic guitars!!

[@kenscorner5226]

I can’t get enough volume from my sm57 when using it to record acoustic nylon strings finger style I add gain and get noise. I would like to use it more but I I lack know how,.

[@jc.1191]

@@kenscorner5226 I've had good luck with condenser mics on nylon. I find it easier than regular strings.

[@davitofarito]

So much better than the Rick Beato video on the same subject. He was using mics whose price points were way beyond what most home studio hobbyists would be comfortable with.

[@Producelikeapro]

I’m glad to be able to help. I do have expensive Mics as well, I just want to be able to show that great results can be achieved at any price point

[@stevensauls2013]

I've found that *most* of Rick's videos go over the heads of studio hobbyists (including myself). It's led me to the conclusion that he caters his content towards working producers, and that's okay!

Hi Friends, one of my first videos on KZbin was called "Recording Acoustic Guitar," and ever since then I frequently get asked to talk in more detail about recording acoustic guitar. In today’s video, we’re going to be a lot more thorough than we were in that first video! We’re also going to go through a bunch of different mics, as well as micing techniques. To keep this as simple as possible, we’re only going to be using an Audient iD4, my trusty Yamaha LL16 acoustic guitar, and a few different mics. No compression. No EQ. Just straight into the DAW! This is a great real world example that you can recreate in your own studio!

[@spitfiremusic3997]

Great video! Just goes to show with a little know how you anyone can record acoustic guitar!

[@harmonystudios1182]

Thank you ever so much warren for this amazing video!

[@mikesmith1290]

I'm so glad your using the same stuff the rest of us can afford. Most others demo gear that is waaay beyond our grasp. That Aspen mic sounds amazing!

[@Producelikeapro]

Absolutely! Thanks ever so much

[@Greenmantislives]

One of the best examples of acoustic guitar tracking I have seen. The repetitive nature of using the same techniques, regardless of mic really helped to solidify the concept. Great approach for future videos I think. Great job Warren!

[@Producelikeapro]

Thanks ever so much my friend! You Rock!!

[@JohanDoornenbal]

Tnx Warren. Your a great teacher. And fun to watch. Even for this elderly guy that has been playing and recording for over 35 years now.

[@Producelikeapro]

Thanks ever so much Johan! I am so glad to be able to help!!

[@a1guitarmaker]

I once traded picks with Mickey Moody. Mine was a 2.0mm, the dark purple Dunlop. He was using 1.14mm which eventually became my sort of standard pick. I still use the 2.0mm for darker tones. For bass I like the yellow Dunlop whatever that is. For strumming on the acoustic I like the .73mm. I have a little pick holder on my key chain that my daughter gave me for Father's day. In it I keep one each of those 4 picks, so I never leave home without them.

[@ryKirwan1]

One of my favorite things to record is an acoustic guitar. I believe this is one of the best, and most thorough videos I’ve ever seen on the subject. Thanks again Warren. Right on 🎸🎤🎼

[@deanh6979]

That 'BBC' mic position is killer! Thanks for the tip, Warren!

[@Producelikeapro]

Thanks ever so much Dean!!

Sorry, I think I missed that. What would be the "BBC" mic position? Is it pointing the mic at the top of the guitar below the fingerboard?

[@thewhiskeycowboy-official]

I love that this shows that even affordable mics do fantastic jobs. And you show only ONE mic being used at a time. Two have their advantages, but using one can still be fine. But on another note (no pun intended... ok, a little pun), I am not sure if others noticed this; how the mic worked seemed to influence how you played. Different mics had different strengths and you slid into what the mic seemed to "do" better when you played. I find I do the same thing depending on what guitar I am using, what pick (or not), and even with the electric what settings I am going with. My playing changes and I slide into the "mix" for what it is. I may have in mind to play one thing, but end up playing something else. Great video. Cheers.

[@smokeynewport1591]

yet another extremely informative video! You demoed all kinds of low cost mics while packing in recording techniques all throughout. Thank you so much Warren. Just saw the news about the studio move. Can't wait to follow the journey along with you. Much love to you and your family.

[@jasonohara1377]

I was wondering if I really needed to watch a 42 min video to figure out how to mic my acoustic but by the end I wish it went longer. Fantastic video! Hell of a guitar player too!

[@billyhughes9776]

Great video Warren. The Lewitt LCT-240 and the Aspen Pittman sounded great. Roswell and good ole 57 great as well. Actually,...listening some more,.....the Roswell is really impressive.

[@Producelikeapro]

Agreed with your whole assessment my friend!

[@nickneumann5650]

Wonderful video, especially the covering of "small things" like pick choice (a different sound for $ 1.50 anyone? There you go ...), keeping buttons and bijouterie away from the instrument and the "quiet stool". Also, nice to see that it is true: you do not a big budget to get a good acoustic sound (but you need a good guitarist). One comment though: the BOOM is not in the soundhole, it's more in the proximity effect of the mics. Go and try an omni in a good, quiet room ;o)

[@jc.1191]

It's kinda both I think. I get boom from some even on the 5th fret, so proximity matters too. Good recommendation on pick changes, it matters.

[@DavidHudson]

Nice to see a new version of one of your first videos.

[@Producelikeapro]

Thanks ever so much David!!

[@McMillanScottish]

One microphone tip I think was overlooked relates to players who can’t sit still, causing phase changes throughout the track. As a solution, I bought a K & K condenser mic that clamps (gently) to the body of the guitar, and has a little gooseneck that hangs a condenser mic wherever you choose to put it. I can’t tell you how much I love this feature. Worth trying, especially because it also sounds pretty good. Note: if you do try it, you may want to put a couple of pieces of that foam that they include in the box between the clamps and the guitar, because there is a little bit of transfer of vibration, and that solves it.

[@Thomas0661]

22:41 “The moment I realized; YEP this is the choice for me” Wow what a sound. Great GREAT microphone

[@AdamStachelek]

[@nathanielnicholson559]

The SM57 usually ends up on acoustics I record, most often to the players' surprise. However, I will now be picking up an NT1 as it adds an ambience that sounds both near and slightly distant at the same time as if two mics. Quite What a lovely sound!! I also enjoyed the APD DT1. Very well done, sir.

[@fuzzylightning]

Warren's a great guitar player! I need really hear him play.

[@tossedpenny]

[@Producelikeapro]

Thanks ever so much! I appreciate that!

[@MartinLuxen]

Great video! I actually use the DI next to the mic sometimes... I blend the sounds... I love the close micing technique on the lower part of the body. I actually use only this technique at the moment. On my acoustic Yamaha you can sometimes here the small piece of strings from the nut to the tuning keys ring/resonate as well so I put a small piece of blanket in between them to dampen that sound. I heard some squicky chairs on professional records btw...It gives a natural feel (if you're going for that of course).

[@DatAnydeks]

I was rethinking this subject the past couple days! Good timing, and thanks Warren!

[@inthemix]

Me too! So glad he made an update :)

[@terrydoylemusic]

Great video as usual Warren! It was great to see the differences between picks and mic position shown across all the mics. That showed that no matter what mic you have you can still influence the tone.

[@Producelikeapro]

Thanks ever so much Terry! I really appreciate it!!

[@trollstjerne]

Excellent video Warren! I agree picks makes a huge difference. Using a .50-70mm pick for strumming chords will give a nice bright percussive sound. For leads a 1.5-2mm will give a nice fat and warm sound. Im using a KM 184 that i like a lot, but some of these affordable mics sounds really good. The Lewitt mics sounded great! Oh.. I really like the Rowell as well. Nice! Thanks Warren! You rock!

[@DoItYourselfMusician]

The most common problem I deal with when recording acoustic is finger noise. A healthy application of skin moisturizer to the finger tips helps kill it at the source. Would be nice to hear Warren's thoughts on minimizing finger noise.

[@mikesmith1290]

I try not to slide my fretting fingers, and just jump to where I want to go. It takes practice, but it allows you to intentionally make squeaks when nuanced. Coated strings help reduce that as well

[@aleksandrkrivets]

[@peterdelano8782]

1- what are mic placement suggestions for a bedroom compared to your treated control room? 2- why LDC upside down? Sinatra vibe or for sonic reasons? Thank you!!

[@Producelikeapro]

Hi Peter, all room differ, all 'professional' studios sound very different from each other! You Should be able to get great results whoever you are! You can do the LDC upside down, however it's not the only way and everyone has a different opinion!

[@baroque_engineer]

The reason why people sometimes mount LDC microphones upside down is mostly historical. See, long ago the built-in preamps/impedance converters of condenser microphones were based exclusively on tubes, because back in the day there were no other devices capable of achieving the needed input impedance, which has to be very high in this case. Tubes generate heat, but you don't want the microphone capsule to be disturbed by the upgoing stream of heated air. So people mounted microphones in a way which allowed the capsule to be placed lower than the body with the preamp, away from the stream of hot air from the tube electronics, in other words, upside down. Today built-in preamps are mostly based on FETs, solid state non-heated devices, so there's no technical reason to mount the microphone in a specific way. Place it in a way which works best for you in terms of wiring and/or aesthetic. :) But of course, if you are using some specific model which has a tube preamp, you better place it upside down.

[@johnhackney9790]

Loved this video. Never thought of the different sounds using different picks, but I could really hear it. The thin picks gave a percussive sound like Pete Townshend’s recorded sound on Who’s Next. Enlightening!

[@slamcrank]

There's an old Tape Op interview with The Shins about their first record... they used the SM57's on drums, but everything else was the Rode NT1. They recorded it onto a PC using "Cool Edit Pro" (hah! Remember that program?!) ... they used the Roland VS-840 to record the drums, but then "mixed" them back into the PC's "Cool Edit Pro". Home recording has come a long way since the early 2000's.

[@The-Skyking]

I just found my favorite cheap (used) acoustic mic and that's the Shure SM81. AMAZING sound and has 2 stages of low end roll off. Super natural. Super smooth. Go mono or pair it with any large diaphragm condenser mic or a ribbon like a Golden Age and you're set for a really really low cost.

[@pearsonart]

That mic position is the default bluegrass position and yes, an old broadcast go-to. We've all seen video of broadcasts with lav mics taped flat to the the guitar's lower bout pointed at the fingerboard or sound hole.

[@georgecovetskie6717]

Great review of the mics you chose. Thanks. I'll make this short. 1 - Top pick Lewitt 240 - Very natural and good control of all string tones & guitar body. 2 - The Roswell - Same as the Lewitt but just a tad darker. 3 - Aspen - this one surprised me for the price but it slacked in the lower register tones. I have to admit the sure 57 was better than I expected but I feel it had that old school sound that lacked crispness and attack.

[@GeorgeBonez]

It’s all personal preference. I like an ultra-thin nylon pic as my Go-To universal pick. In my ears it even sounds better in your own demo in this video. I can get more speed without hang ups and I roll my thumb in place for harder picking applications. I can always manipulate my thin pick to make it how I like it but you can never manipulate a thick pick to make it softer. Yeah I know I’m in the guitar player super-minority on this opinion but it all comes down to personal preference at the end of the day. I do however really like the SHURE sm57 for my acoustic and the SHURE sm7b for vocals as almost everyone agrees on.

[@steverok67]

Another great video from Warren Huart. I will definitely be trying these mic'ing techniques with the mic's I have. Sometimes, I record the mic along with the pickup, and blend in just enough of the pickup to help the acoustic cut through a mix. I have also recorded the acoustic using two mic's in stereo, with good results. Great stuff. A veritable treasure trove, your channel is.

[@McMillanScottish]

If I’m not using my K & K, I tend to prefer dynamics and ribbons on acoustic because I think condensers just bring up too much high end, and while that was a novelty 40 or 50 years ago, I’ve always found it a little annoying. I think the dynamic and ribbon mics round off the top end nicely.

[@andrewarbogast1]

The k47, the 220 then the aspen were my favorites.

[@andrewarbogast1]

@Produce Like A Pro do you ever use a tube mic for acoustic guitar?

[@AfferbeckBeats]

I love the idea of the guitar being a rhythmic percussive instrument like a shaker. Reminds me of the Holy Trinities - Guitar video where Jack Stratton describes the guitar as 'a tambourine with a ton of different pitches'.

[@FreddysFrets]

Hey Warren, great video! Loaded with so much common sense. I loved the sound of the Lewitt, I must pick one up. One thing that I noticed that you didn't touch upon (and I'm not criticizing, I realize this is a demonstration) is the intonation of the instrument. Your Yamaha had an intonation issue that is quite common and can be a source of frustration when tracking. I mention this because I am a pro luthier and my ear recognizes this when I hear it. Your guitar has intonation issues down by the nut. When you play an open G major it sounds fine, same with the open A major.....but, when you play an open C or D major it goes sour. This is usually a problem because of the string slots in the nut being cut too high, and so the extra amount the string travels to get to the fret makes it sharp. Sometimes believe it or not this can also be remedied by simply moving the nut forward towards the first fret by a small amount. Or if one wants to get ultra fussy a nut can be built with individual string compensation. But most often, just moving the nut towards the first fret makes a huge difference in sweetening the temper. I build that compensation right into guitars I make (depending on the scale length)...

[@johnnyt5514]

To get it even more percussive you can turn the pick and play it with the long side hitting the strings.

[@zentatonic]

I hadn't heard of micing the body quite like this before. Man, does it sound DOPE, though!! I mic'd my Yamaha LS6 today with a Chameleon Labs TS-1. Fullest, most vibey, commanding acoustic tone I've ever captured in over 10 years of searching. Thanks!
