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!

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.

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.

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)

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.

@baroque_engineer3 жыл бұрын
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.

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.

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)...

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!

Warren, thanks for all the wisdom man. Seriously. I’m doing all the academy stuff because I was just handed a studio (long story) and just when I thought I was done with music. The universe had another idea. So I’ve needed to brush up and berthing you’ve been doing has helped so much. Seriously. You’re the man.

@@Producelikeapro Hi Warren. I do understand how busy you must be and I also get the impression from your other KZbin videos that you are not a big fan of stereo micing acoustic guitars but I'll wait until you feel like doing a tutorial. In the meantime I'll try and educate myself having watched and enjoyed your really brilliant and comprehensive video on using single microphones to record acoustic guitar without spending a fortune on both guitar and choice of Mic. Regards Alan
