Tips for Recording Acoustic Instruments
Acoustic instruments can be difficult to record. Here are a few tips to improve your acoustic guitar recordings:
• Record
in
a highly acoustic room, such as a room with a wooden or tile floor.
• Use a condenser microphone ("mic"). It can capture softer instruments better than a dynamic mic.
• Try positioning the mic about
24
inches from the instrument.
• Use multiple mics, and experiment with different angles and placements. For example, position two
mics
at gO-degree angles and use the pan controls to move one mic to the left side
of
the mix and the other
mic
to the right. This approach can create a very engaging stereo effect.
• For acoustic guitars,
try
placing one mic
1-6
inches from the sound hole.
You
will probably need to reduce
the low
EQ
control with this approach.
Tips for Recording Electrical Instruments
• Guitar - For a live sound,
try
recording with two mics. Point one mic directly into the guitar's monitor
speaker and the other mic about five or six feet from the speaker.
• Bass Guitar - If possible, connect the bass guitar to a direct injection ("01") box and connect the
01
box
to your TuneStudio. A
01
box will eliminate hum
in
your recordings.
• Keyboards - Record directly to your TuneStudio for clarity and with a mic (set to lower volume) for a
live sound.
