Great video - really helpful to see the different mic placements and hear the results. I've always struggled to get a decent recording of my acoustic so this has given me some great pointers and a few different things to try.
Glad to hear it was helpful! Let us know how it turns out!
As always, very clear and informative! Thanks for the video :D
Glad it was helpful!
I.love mixcraft
Great helpful content as always
So glad it was helpful!
Hey Cameron- thanks for the mic tips as well as mic placement options. Nice playing too! BTW- would love to hear a comparison of the two Lewitt mics (the 040 and the 440) Thanks!
great ideas ty
Let us know if you end up using these tips in a track, we'd love to hear it!
How about an acoustic electric (Ovation in this case) direct plus a mic? This to get a full stereo sound both natural and the direct sound, which is excellent in sound because of the way Ovation guitars are made. What are your thoughts?
Thanks for taking the time to make this awesome video! I have an acoustic recording related question. The sidebar: Fun and Useful Clip Filter Applications - page 212 of the MixcraftHelp.pdf- writes about reducing finger squeaks. Could you PLEASE do a video about reducing or removing finger squeaks?! Or if you have done a video on it post a link.
Glad you enjoyed it! As for reducing and removing finger squeaks you can generally just use a narrow EQ with a relatively steep cut at the resonant frequency to help reduce them! A De-esser with a selectable frequency can also be a handy tool for that. We'll definitely note it down on the suggestions list!
I want to carry around the microphone you use so I have a deep voice.
what kind of mics are you using and the price please. Also what audio interface are you using.
The performer position looks just like what I need for my next track. No phase issues though to speak of! Are the mics the same distance away?
Hey there! For the best results you'll want to ensure the capsules are roughly the same distance from the instrument. However, you may want the 'neck' mic slightly closer if you want more of the fretboard detail. Just be sure to give it a quick test before recording to make sure things are nice and in phase!
@@acoustica222 Thanks so much for replying! Really enjoying this series of videos, like all of your work.
Sorry, another question: does all this work with LDCs as well? I have a pair of Audio Technicas that I'd love to try out on the Performer setting. Just as long as there are no phasing issues...
All of these techniques would work with any mic! The only reason SDCs were used to demonstrate here is that they are the more conventional/popular choice for acoustic guitar recording.
@@acoustica222 Yeah I chose my LDCs mostly on self-noise, since they are very quiet and ideal for another instrument we record, which is small harp (not the mouth-blown variety). I'll give it a whirl and let you know the results.
Do you leave panning centered or one left and one right?
For that, you'll just want to go with what sounds best to use! Usually, a 'hard pan' setup is a good starting point but depending on the context of the mix you may pan and level things differently.
Plzz do a video about dubbing using mixcraft
We'll add it to the suggestions list!
I like mixcraft but havent figured out how to get it to record more than 2 tracks at a time
Hey there! For that, you'll need to make sure you're using an audio interface with more than one input, and ensure that your tracks are armed using those respective inputs. From there, you'll arm both tracks at once and record!
If you need further help with that, feel free to contact our support at support.acoustica.com
Hi .. I still don't know how to write like a pull-off note in the mixcraft
Hey there! To create a pull-off or hammer-on in the score editor, you can create two notes that overlap in the piano roll and a slur will be automatically added!
@@acoustica222 thankyou so much 🙏
