RE: OPEN MIC WEEK 39 - Ode to Gideon, Ode to my sweet little flamenco

in #openmic7 years ago (edited)

A beautiful piece of music and very heartfelt. A gorgeous guitar to play on as well. Its sounded fine in my headphones too so all good. Im not sure what other mics you may have, but as a soundie i can suggest a few different ways, but one i have found (and will do a post on this pretty soon i think) is the following i learned.

get two condenser mics, set one around the 12th fret where the body meets the neck and the other around the 3rd fret. keep them nice n close, about a few cm giving your hands room to move in front of them so they don't get knocked. i recorded a few guitars just using this basic technique and they came out nice. Use mics with a cardioid polar pattern, and run them into an external sound card if you have one. Run into your recording software (if you have it) as mono tracks and set one left and the other to the right so you have a nice stereo spread. this is just a brief intro and i will go into more as i add blogs here.
Hope that helps.
cheers
Shan the sound man.

Thank you for the advice, and encouragement. Unfortunately I'm stuck on a mountain at the moment, so access to these things is a little difficult without major travel ... but I'll follow your post with interest :)
