What people don't understand is the reason musicians used to spend so much time in the studio was because they used to experiment all the time to get the right sound

This video is a complete gamechanger for me. I have a beautiful Takamine that I neglected totally in the last 5 years because I couldn’t make any sense of it in the studio. The fretboard slowly got funguses and it started to look terrible the reason being its cutaway. And here in the video you mention shortly that with cutaway guitars you can achieve almost the same results recording the upper position as a sweet spot. I got excited, cleaned the guitar, oiled the fretboard changed the strings and made it look beautiful again. Then came the moment of a test recording. And I got blown by the powerful sound. Beautiful lows but still enough clarity to make it sound brilliant. This video is a blessing, dear Warren.

A follow-up video on how to mix acoustic guitar would be useful now. How to EQ and compress for different results.
@Blacktopcowboy
It doesn’t necessarily have to be scientific, it just has to sound good. Love that.
@aarondoerr2260
Love the tip of soft-singing with the AG tracking, and then playing a dampened EG with the vocal tracking!
@MrTomDangerous
Genuinely useful stuff, even for a mancave studio caveman like myself. Your guitar playing was a surprise! You're really, really good.

@JuusoHoo
great tips thanks! just wondering wherefrom came that sticking idea to my.mind that large dia condensers are the Best for ac. guitar. That is nonsense. it all depends where y r aiming😂!! I used 8 figuremics for live rec on singing and ac.guit and it works but it does not take that chilling sound what my small dia mic does. I must reinvent this thing!😊
@250f5.6
Good work by the engineer mixing out the mic movement noises!
@peterwilson2107
This is gold!!! Thanks so much, Warren! Love the small diaphragm suggestion! I always have used large, but I'm going to try the small one!
@MoreMeRecording
Re: vocal and acoustic. I noticed you didn't put up a vocal mic. One tip I'd like to share that I was shown years ago for recording acc / vox simultaneously is use 2x fig.8 mics. You basically stack then where the top mic is aimed at the vocal and the bottom angled at the guitar. What happens when you use a figure 8 pattern is that you have 100% cancellation at all frequencies in the ring around the mic that is the null. The two diaphragms are charged in 180' opposite polarity so there is an electronic cancellation where the two diaphragms pick up the same sound.

I've been watching tons of recording acoustic guitar videos... this video answers all my questions. And then this big great advice for recording Singer Songwriter! Thank you so much! Got it! 👍
@joejurneke9576
I love listening to Warren play.
@edwardgordon4309
I love how Warren's insights, tips and techniques are timeless. 👍
@okeanos222
A wealth of info in this video. Thank you
@cuulcars
I love how when asked if a SDC or LDC is better for a busy mix Warren answered SM57 😂 ol reliable never lets you down
@craigm6921
@15:15 an absolutely genius idea - I'll be trying that tonight. As a singing guitarist I really struggle to get the same performance when I separate the two aspects. Just softly speaking the words would remind me where I am in the song & still keep the muscle memory engaged. Brilliant. Simple.
@homecookinmusicAZ
Cool! I like the idea of automating the eq during different sections of the song. Never thought of that!
@AllanEvansOfficial
Warren you’re a pleasure to learn from. Cheers from Texas USA
