Yooo love that you immediately did that video after we were all suggesting it after last week‘s video!
Great stuff - also depends how much of the instrument body noise - tapping etc - you need / want to capture. The mid side is good for that as deeper percussive sounds will be centred.
Probably one of the best videos I've seen about recording a guitar. Thumbs up!
Love the video Austin! Professional tracking/mix engineer here, really appreciate a producer like yourself going over techniques like this. Just wanted to mention ORTF and NOS are also great techniques for recording acoustic guitar if you have a stereo pair of small diaphragm condensers. Both sound wider than XY but are much more natural sounding than using a spaced pair or MS.
hellooo how are youu? Hope you're doing great, so today i'm here craving you an updated video on how to mix a pop music ;) , not only the vocals but the whole mix <3
This is nice, this is my exact guitar :) Perfect!
Ah, I have found the recording an acoustic guitar video! Awesome stuff as always, learned a lot from this
I’d like a video about how to give synths and keyboards the best sound (effects, compressors, mix in general)
Thanks. I thought this was the best presentation I’ve seen so far. Wish it existed when I was figuring it all out.
Awesome synopsis man. Haven't tracked an acoustic in a while so this was the perfect video to refresh my memory. Subscribed 🤘
Blumelein is my Favourite one, Thank you for this video and lots love from India. 🎸❣
Your watch looks super nice!! I have the tan one, unbelievable value Also, I just can't get around M/S at all, it always sounds terrible to me done well or poorly and I regret trying to do it early in my career. I think it's because I prefer high attack transients on all instruments and music, which seem to be lost in M/S
Thanks for this. Very informative. The thickness of a guitar pick can make quite a difference in the sound. Simple and cheap too!
Excellent, very comprehensive and really useful! Thanks for your work.
EXAMPLES: XY- 17:23 & 18:27 Spaced Pair - 17:31 & 18:35 Solo Mic Mono - 17:39 & 18:43 Solo Mic Double Tracked - 17:47 & 18:51 Mid/Side - 17:55 & 18:59 Blumlein - 18:03 & 19:07 DI Mono - 18:11 & 19:15 DI Double Tracked - 18:19 & 19:23
Thank you so much! Great explanations!😊
I haven't recorded acoustics in ages and this video is so good at explaining these methods! I do remember using a mix of DI for the punch and definition without the sound-hole boominess, and a condenser about 1 meter away (or far enough to sound "ambient"). maybe threw an sm57 on the 12th fret, can't really remember, but sounds like something I would do :D
Hey Austin, Great video. Thanks for this. 1. Can you please let us know at what gain stage level we should start recording an acoustic guitar ? 2. Do you prefer different type of acoustic guitars over different type of playings. Eg, which guitar will be more suitable for strumming over intimate playing. Thanks for your time.
Very comprehensive and easy to understand! It was also helpful for me, personally, to back the mic away to a bit of a distance where it isn't roomy, because nobody listens to a guitar with their ear up against the soundhole. :D
