Note:
this is just the way I do it.
Many people will call that way, the wrong way.

The sound of that acoustic guitar recording is not perfect.
I did not look for the perfect position and did not mix it.
What you hear is the unprocessed sound.

See Ya.
Da Schehf !!!

    Hi! I was just wondering, I got acoustical foam from Auralex and I plan to hang it on the wall. Will it deaden the vibrations and help to mute any echo? I am just recording in my room.
    Thanks, Mil

    I record accoustic …
    I record accoustic guitar with 3 tracks, a LDC at the back of the guitar angled towards to Brige/soundhole maybe 10 inches away (this goes through a Tube preamp), then a SDC about 6 to 10 inches above the 12/15 fret angled towards the soundhole. I then DI the bult in pickup to get that nice tight low end, Pan the LDC Left and the SDC Right, have the pickup just edging into the mix to give the overall Track some warmth. you may have to phase reverse one mic… any questions please message me :)

    There is far more mid/high clarity with the microphone, both combined gives a nice tight low end

  6. I recorded the mics …
    I recorded the mics with cubase while I was doing the video.
    and then put the recorded stuff in the video
    when I was editing.

  7. i know this might …
    i know this might seem like a dumb question, but im very new to recording… but how do you capture the sound and then have it in perfect sync with the video if the built in mic on the webcam isnt doing the recording? does that make sense?

  8. I’d go for the …
    I’d go for the sound with both together.

    From the test you did at 3:00, I prefer by far th sound from the microphone.

    Good point about …
    Good point about using pickup, I’ve actually just tested this technique, works great and you can blend it in some many different ways. Check out my K&K pickup & Mic video.

  11. stimmt.. logisch ;)
    stimmt.. logisch ;) ich möcht jetz auch mal mit amp-modelling software arbeiten… weiß aber noch nicht, was ich mir holen soll. sollte gute hi gain amp sims haben. kannst du mir was empfehlen bis 120 €? interface hab ich schon…

  12. Danke.
    Nein, da …

    Danke.
    Nein, da sliegt an dem B-Bend Pick Up, der rauscht sehr stark. Wenn man das Ganze dann noch komprimiert ist es schon gut hörbar.

  13. mann, schehf.. ich …
    mann, schehf.. ich finds jedes mal so geil, wie du arbeitest :D sag mal, warum is beim pickup signal so viel rauschen? wird ja wohl nicht am preamp liegen…

    The beggining is just like I want it to be. One more thing, can you recomend some good acoustic guitar a budget to 300-400 euros?

  21. You can always try …
    You can always try cheaper mics, I never had a good sound with them though.
    Yes, the beginning is recorded by me, but with a different guitar.

  22. Man, can you …
    Man, can you recomend some cheaper mic? And, are the acoustic guitars on the begining recorded from you, because they sound realy great and professional!

  23. Yea, someone said …
    Yea, someone said the same today. :|
    Guess I have to go with a condenser one.
    Any suggestions for a good condenser microphone (90-120)?

  24. To be honest with …
    To be honest with you:
    a dynamic mic for 120 € won’t give you a good sound from a classic guitar.

  25. Hey, nice tutorial …
    Hey, nice tutorial vid.

    I’m looking for a mic to record my classic guitar.
    But I get a bit annoyed by the fact that condenser microphones need phantom power.
    ( I wanna plug the mic in my Line6 Studio UX1, and this audio interface has no PP)
    So instead of buying batteries for the mic on and on, I decided to get a dynamic mic…any suggestions? My limit is 120 Euro, but 100 would be better.

    Cheers,
    -Guy- \m/
