    If you put on new strings, play at least an hour your guitar before recording! The wooden guitar needs to get used to the new strength und during that always tune your guitar multiple times. You will hear the difference :) btw really well done video!

      @edeledeledel5490 6 років тому

      When you fit new strings tune up to 2 semitones above the note you want and then tune back down; then they don't need to be played in, and settle down almost instantly. If you're worried about tuning up 2 semitones, just tune up 1 semitone, and this will at least reduce the time to settle down.

    I have a TLM 103 and I've never been 100% satisfied recording using this technique. Do you think it could be a good idea to pick up a 102 and give it a try? I heard the 102 is a little more forgiving with placement and so forth.

  • @CleatSurfer
    @CleatSurfer 4 роки тому

    My best results come from a cabinet mic on an acoustic amp. I prefer to use an instrument mic but even following the best practice for positioning, I need to turn the gain way up which then picks up other noise.

    You know what Neumann turned out to be a surprisingly good mic for acoustic guitar? The KSM 105, marketed as a hand held condenser for live vocals. I screwed off the screen, and used it like a pencil mic. It kind of blew me away. (it's also in that "affordable" price range, btw ...)

    Thanks- lots of good info here- I'm hoping you could talk about the unique situation of an electrified arch top guitar, where you want both the air sound of the guitar itself, and the amp sound. It seems you might prefer a condenser mic over a ribbon mic, for capturing the details of an acoustic guitar? Thanks-
