What are some of your favourite mics for recording Acoustic Guitars?

[Blacktopcowboy]

It doesn’t necessarily have to be scientific, it just has to sound good. Love that.

[dachreport]

What people don't understand is the reason musicians used to spend so much time in the studio was because they used to experiment all the time to get the right sound

[aarondoerr]

Love the tip of soft-singing with the AG tracking, and then playing a dampened EG with the vocal tracking!

[cuulcars]

I love how when asked if a SDC or LDC is better for a busy mix Warren answered SM57 😂 ol reliable never lets you down

Re: vocal and acoustic. I noticed you didn't put up a vocal mic. One tip I'd like to share that I was shown years ago for recording acc / vox simultaneously is use 2x fig.8 mics. You basically stack then where the top mic is aimed at the vocal and the bottom angled at the guitar. What happens when you use a figure 8 pattern is that you have 100% cancellation at all frequencies in the ring around the mic that is the null. The two diaphragms are charged in 180' opposite polarity so there is an electronic cancellation where the two diaphragms pick up the same sound.

Genuinely useful stuff, even for a mancave studio caveman like myself. Your guitar playing was a surprise! You're really, really good.

A follow-up video on how to mix acoustic guitar would be useful now. How to EQ and compress for different results.

This video is a complete gamechanger for me. I have a beautiful Takamine that I neglected totally in the last 5 years because I couldn’t make any sense of it in the studio. The fretboard slowly got funguses and it started to look terrible the reason being its cutaway. And here in the video you mention shortly that with cutaway guitars you can achieve almost the same results recording the upper position as a sweet spot. I got excited, cleaned the guitar, oiled the fretboard changed the strings and made it look beautiful again. Then came the moment of a test recording. And I got blown by the powerful sound. Beautiful lows but still enough clarity to make it sound brilliant. This video is a blessing, dear Warren.

I love how Warren's insights, tips and techniques are timeless. 👍

[AllanEvansOfficial]

Warren you’re a pleasure to learn from. Cheers from Texas USA

[nohillforahighstepper]

I run my acoustics into the board to get a bit of the pickup. Been using a SM57 close at the 12th and a large diaphragm to catch a bit of the room.
The magic is in the mixing.

Supercool tips in here, thanks Warren!

[wolfhard]

This is real good stuff! Thx a ton, Warren.

[bigmike]

I have a plethora of high end mics and always go back to my tried and true Shure SM-81 going through a BAE 73 500 series preamp. Works 99 percent of the time. Great video Warren! 👍🏻

[Beatledave]

I like your XY mic set up on the acoustic Warren. A little bit of width, some body to the left & shimmer on the right. I’ve had good results on acoustic guitar with a sdc placed at your BBC position or a valve LDC.

[AlecBridges]

Perfect timing! Tracking acoustic guitars today and always looking for new tips.

[homecookinmusicAZ]

Cool! I like the idea of automating the eq during different sections of the song. Never thought of that!

[grahamnunn]

Another great video, Warren. Nice playing too, this is actually the kind of guitar playing you would you hear in a song so it is a really good demo.
