    Its impossible to cover all the endless ways to increase the quality of acoustic guitar recordings: preamps, better mics, good miking techniques, new strings, a tuner (lol) different types of acoustic guitars, the list goes on and on. What are some of your tips for better acoustic recordings?

      Where to start. First - thanks for an excellent tutorial!
      . Reasonably good strings. Certainly not "brand new out of the package." That will create an incredibly bright, overtone nightmare - unless that's what you're looking for.
      . Find the "perfect notch" as you did with your saturator. But as the folks at Sound on Sound and many others will tell you, with devices in parallel, you can't tweak one without to some degree making another in the chain sound somewhat worse. One has to select what that tradeoff is.
      . It's easier to record acoustic guitar in a totally dead space and add "room sound" than to use an actual reverberant space - though the latter is more desirable - but takes a lot of skill. It's easy to create a perfectly dead space with household objects anyone has.
      The best tip is to think like a producer. If the song is a wistful ballad about losing someone, you have to learn which is more appropriate - a ringing driving, Pete Townshend acoustic part filled with suspended chords and an in-your-face placement- or a darker tone that is more like glue for the song. On this tip - talent and experience are it. There are no substitutes.

    Man, this hits all my guitar-geek-recording-nerd nerves right in the feels.
    Funny thing is, I damn near killed myself recording an acoustic guitar based album in 2019, completely self-produced (Pro Tools), and before it was even done I decided to totally switch gears and pursue electronic music. And that led me here, into the realm of Ableton Live. Anthony, actually, was the catalyst to me making the leap after discovering his band, Papadosio, at a club show in town.
    I've been listening to his music, watching his tutorials, subscribing to his course, and soaking all of this in ever since.
    And now I've come full circle watching a video about recording acoustic guitars into my electronic genie.

    @ECOGtheMC 3 года назад

    Hey, really love your videos and your teaching style! It would be awesome if you could cover how to midi map properly. My problem with this is I would love to have control over third party plugins on my push and have them saved so as soon I open the synth I could control it via push. I just don't find the right way to do it and somehow this topic isn't really much spoken about whereas it would be a much more hands on experience with Ableton if "static" midi mapping would be a thing with any controller.
    Take care and keep up your great videos and greetings from Germany!

  • @two_legit1832
    @two_legit1832 Год назад

    I'm 39 years old and have been playing guitar for 15 years and have just now decided I want to record my original material. However, being technologically illiterate I'm having issues. I'm recording through the Scarlet 2i2 via Ableton. I'm recording my Martin D-15M through the Scarlet mic that came with the 2i2. When I play back the arrangement I recorded I can barely hear it even with the volume all the way up on the 2i2. I've already configured my audio Preferences to ASIO. It's driving me nuts and I can't figure out why. Any suggestions??

    How are you interfacing the zoom and your sm7b? Is the zoom the only audio interface or are you using aggregate device with another interface.

      for the recording part i used the h5 as the input device. I could have went through the trouble of aggregating them but i have too many aggregate devices as it is haha
