The condensor just really doesn't cut it (but it's one of those that acts as a sound card so... :? )

Alan, I listened to your Moorish Dance, and Lagrima (actually recognized that, loved it) Who/where can I get sheet music for Moorish Dance? I love that piece!!]]> In The Studio JoeHempel https://guitarnoise.forum/in-the-studio-in-the-studio/micing-an-amp/#post-340920 https://guitarnoise.forum/in-the-studio-in-the-studio/micing-an-amp/#post-340902 Tue, 06 Oct 2009 16:46:57 +0000

If you're using a dynamic mic with something like a Portastudio, then back off the trim to just below "hiss" level, position the mic about 8 inches from the bottom of the guitar, and point it upwards towards the soundhole.

Make sure it's not pointing directly horizontally at the soundhole, that'll give you rumbles and booms on the bass notes as the sound punches the mic.

In Audacity, once you've normalised the sound, you might still need to back off the gain, maybe to -9dB, and tinker with amplification. There's a thin line between loud enough and loud enough to bring back the hiss.

www.reverbnation.com/alangreen for my current batch of cleaned-up recordings. The slightly quieter tracks were recorded with a dynamic mic into a Tascam 2488MKII 24-track, as was Ferrer's Ejercicio, but the others were belted into my Boss Micro using the same mic.

in the clip provided I think I heard a finger nail on the pick guard and a tiny sqeak from a finger on the string.
minor stuff. natural stuff. it is what I expect to hear in a performance.]]> In The Studio dogbite https://guitarnoise.forum/in-the-studio-in-the-studio/micing-an-amp/#post-340616 https://guitarnoise.forum/in-the-studio-in-the-studio/micing-an-amp/#post-340596 Thu, 01 Oct 2009 16:22:37 +0000
I think I need something other than the condenser mic. I've got a dynamic mic, but no way to get an XLR into USB, I don't even know if the mic works.

Here's a file that I recorded right into the computer, and you'll hear all the clicks and such and I think it's very distracting.

I don't know the specs on what I have, it's a Samson G-Track USB mic, it's got headphone out built in as well as line in for an instrument.]]> In The Studio JoeHempel https://guitarnoise.forum/in-the-studio-in-the-studio/micing-an-amp/#post-340596
