Was researching about the sm57 for couple of days. Your video was great input thank you. Just bought the sm57 like an hour back

[@snorrebusch5020]

Sm57 is an amazing microphone. It really gives you great results no mater what you throw at it. I use my it almost every day at something in my studio :)

[@stephentyndall159]

@@snorrebusch5020 hi, I bought an SM58 years ago for vocals. Would it be worth getting a 57 as well for instruments? I've tried the 58 on instruments and can't get a decent sound. Thanks

[@snorrebusch5020]

Stephen Tyndall If you struggle with the 58 om instruments you would struggle with 57 too. It is basically the same microphone. But you can hear in my video that it is possible to get great sound with two SM 57. But there could be different factors that works against you to get that great sound. Everything from the instrument, performance, recording technique and the room you are trying to record in. You could also check out a small diaphragm condenser microphone. They sound really great on an acoustic guitar :)

@@snorrebusch5020 Thanks for the reply, I'll keep playing with the 58 then and see if I can get an improvement.

great separation between the two sources.

Thank you Fergal :) You get great separation with this technique. Also the Sm57 does a great job rejecting audio from the sides.

[@mhyrrlove]

Lovee your voice. Beautiful!! Looking for a recording mike. I keep seeing that the SM7B has been overhyped and one should just go with the SM57... I do folk music so it's great to see this video... Maybe I should go with the 57. Hmph.

[@cameronwilliams1158]

did you ever release this song?

[@Bigwoody95826]

Cool man thanks! My goal is to record as pro as possible without breaking the bank. I learned from other videos that Shure mics can do the trick. I record my acoustic with sm57 pointed at the bottom rear of the guitar, behind my picking arm. I have a shure sm57 and sm58. I wonder how I could use just those two mics to get pro sound? also,I wonder what's the next level of mic I should buy for recording acoustic guitar

[@amitmishra-dh8eb]

Hey, Awesome depth in you Voice. Which song is that?

[@snorrebusch5020]

Thank you Amit mishra! This song is called "Please come home" and is coming out on my next Ep som time this year or early next year :)

[@amitmishra-dh8eb]

i tried searching but didn't get, who's the artist?

[@snorrebusch5020]

I wrote this song. So the artist would be me :)

[@McCambira]

Hey guy! Can I use this SM57 microphone in my solo voice and guitar performances only?

[@kartikkoul1684]

Which was the song .. amazing

[@alfonsandhisguitar]

Sounds so good! So the mic go straight to the audio interface or how?

[@_rubenocampo_]

How is it that you dont get a dirty background noise, I try taking it out but cant get a clean sound at all?

[@snorrebusch5020]

It could be many different things making your room pop out in your recording. Have you acoustically treated your room? You may be driving your preamp too hot so the room ambience gets picked up by the mic. Recording hot into your DAW is not the same as getting better sound quality. If you get to much room noise anyway you could try to run an Expander as a first plugin of your mixing chain to reduce some of that ambient sound :)

[@_rubenocampo_]

What would you recommend to do to treat acoustically my room and have less background noise?

[@jasonhorner802]

Nice man. What do you have the mics plugged into to go to computer? Can you show the whole setup?

[@TheOnlineBusker]

Great vid I subbed! Been researching the 57 and haven't been keen but yours sounds amazing! I need to learn about that mic position!! How far away from guitar is it? Oh, and what a fucking voice!!! Fablous man, and a great song!

[@snorrebusch5020]

Thank you so much🥳 Shure sm57 is a great studio microphone. I haven’t got an exact sience on how far away to place the mic. I just listen for where it sounds the best. In this video I’d say about 20 cm maybe😊

[@TheOnlineBusker]

@@snorrebusch5020 Cool, it kinda looks like it's in front of the soundhole but pointing t 12th fret? I'll get one and start playing around with it! Cheers!

[@TheOnlineBusker]

@@snorrebusch5020 So, I got sm57 and played around a bit, I found I had to record kinda hot, as it's pretty quiet, and I also had to mic REAL close! In the end I ended up with compression on the way in, is that what you do? Cheers for replying, you're one of the good guys!

[@JoseLC82]

it sounds great friend...my idea is record the voice with my shure sm7b and the guitar with 2 sm57. can u make a video recording acustic guitar with 2 mics? thanks

[@snorrebusch5020]

Thank you for your comment Jose :) This is a super Idea! Video will be coming up soon.

+Jose Castillo your video is coming up next:) it will be ready on monday! Thanx for your video request :-)

[@DanielGittinsStone]

[@MoreData-hz8hm]

also, is your room treated??

[@gh05]

Nice. Is it possible to position one mic to record both guitar and vocals in a decent enough way?

[@J.Michael1]

One of my favorite things about your videos is the music you play at the beginning! Could you tell me the name of the song/artist? Thank you so much

[@J.Michael1]

Yes please do. Awesome beats! I love the funky creative sound :)

[@Mark-zi6nt]

Did you use any compression / preamp ? I own a Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 2nd gen and a shure sm7, my guitar has to be way close to a mic, also applies to vocals.

[@TheOnlineBusker]

I use Scarlett 2i2 2nd gen too, ad have just tried sm57 for acoustic , found that I had to turn the gain knob way up AND have the mic real close to guitar, as the signal was low, OR use compression on the way in, that's what I decided on in the end... CLA 2A (or anyother compression will do the same), dunno if that helps you man but try it..

[@nomnom112]

Did you find a solution for this? I thought my mic was broken but it's probably just an issue with the scarlett.

[@Mark-zi6nt]

@@nomnom112 Might not be the issue with Scarlett necessarily. 57 is more directional, always has to be directed at your mouth or the sound source. Solved the issue with sm58 that was more dynamic / has more range. I don't have to be so close to a mic for just talking through a Discord, for example. But for louder vocals, preamp on Scarlett and both 57 & 58 is perfectly enough. As for the guitar..well, yes, you might want to boost volume (if necessary) in your DAW. Another factor is the guitar itself. Mine might have been quieter and softer than his on the vid. If you got more questions - i'd be glad to help and share what i know.

[@redfox9022]

İs it okay for live performance?

[@TarshishedCactus]

How much db of gain are you using? For some reason my shure sm57 is really quiet.

[@facundoalmaraz8715]

[@k3804g932]

I have a Martin D28. No pickups. I do a lot of songs with Travis and finger picking. Would the SM57 work for small clubs instead of trying to install a pickup? Thanks. kg

[@snorrebusch5020]

On small clubs a pickup would work the best. It,s easy to get feedback from the speakers with a mic on the outside👍😊

[@wwfera00]

Excuse sir, what software do you us to edit/mix or put together your song in post? Thanks, and wonderful voice!

[@snorrebusch5020]

I use Final CUT to sync the audio to video and mix the audio in Logic pro x like a normal mix at the end :)

[@mithunkinarullathil643]

@@snorrebusch5020 ohh very nice, thank you

[@jehanmartinez868]

So is recording with two mics more recommend than just one? is it better since you're saving the time recording vocals and guitar? I have a Shure m57, but found a used one for $60 and I'm thinking of buying one. Thanks!

[@snorrebusch5020]

Nothing is more recommended over the other. It is two different approaches to recording. The benefit with recording vocal and the guitar at the same pass is you'll catch the performance. I like it because I feel I capture more of an organic performance vs recording the instruments separately.

[@quatrecreat1129]

Plize can u help me i need records fingerstyle and i want get a sound with realy mutch subtility and can listen the percussion and the harmonique . What microphone you think i can used i love the sm57 but i need more subtility in the guitare.

[@snorrebusch5020]

Hi, to get that detailed finger picking sound I would use a small condenser microphone. I have planned to make a video how I record finger style guitar. I'll give you a heads up when It's out :)

[@MrLks0]

Amazing! What's the guitar are you playing?

[@MrLks0]

thank you very much for the answer!

[@bendym4n123]

Snorre, I bought the SM57 with the X2u for home recording but I am getting a background hiss. This isnt new, I have a condenser mic that also has a background hiss. I bought an audio interface and ran the mics through that but I still have the hiss. My room is near enough silent so the hiss isnt ambient noises. Do you have any idea what would be causing this and how I can prevent it? Thank you in advance!

[@snorrebusch5020]

Hi, The hiss is most likely coming from your preamps. So what you could try is to record on a lower level and then turn it up with plugins after you're finished recording. That my help you a lot with your problem. Just turn up your headphone volume to compensate while recording :)

[@bendym4n123]

@@snorrebusch5020 Thank you for the help, I was just trying this earlier. I read a fix was to go into your recording settings and turn the input volume of the microphone down and then add the gain afterwards. It is working a lot better, it still has very very minor hiss but it is a hell of a lot better than it was. Thank you for the speedy reply Snorre, I appreciate it a lot!

[@camerontheDJ]

Setting for the sm57 on the vocals?

[@snorrebusch5020]

Well that depends on who is singing. In this video it was the right amount of gain, right amount of distance to the microphone and then strait into my audio interface. No plugins used. The biggest factors I'd say is the room the vocal is recorded in, and the distance to the microphone. When you back off the microphone you get less proximity effect(bass) and more air between the singer and the microphone will give you a natural compression. This will give you a nice result to mix later :)

[@anythingunderthesun4688]

Was there any edit in post production? What to do if i want a more boomy sound? Thank you

[@snorrebusch5020]

Guess That Sound I have only turned up the volume in this video. So if you want more boomy sound you can try to record more of the sound hole on the guitar. Try to move around in front of the microphone to you find the sound you like and then hit record 🥳

[@jehanmartinez868]

Hi! What pre amp do you have? I'd like to buy the same one :) thanks!

[@snorrebusch5020]

In this video I used Apogee ensemble Thunderbolt preams 😊

[@jehanmartinez868]

Snorre Busch Music oh wow, I saw the price tag... quite pricey! Do you have a second, inexpensive yet very very good alternative to that? Maybe in the 100-400 price range that allows you to also record 2 cables connected for vocals and guitar? Thanks!

[@davidpicarazzi]

How are you getting such a clean signal? As soon as I turn up the gain it picks up so much feed back/white noise

[@snorrebusch5020]

That could be you're pre-amps making the white noise. I have very clean preamps that has very low noise ratio. You could try to give less gain on you're pre-amp so that your pre-amp gives less noise to the sound. Maybe that could help you out : )
