you should phase reverse the second track….also, why not use 2 mics, pan each L and R, then you can do what you want with each!
Well, real acoustic treatment is really expensive. Usually around $100 per 2′x4′ square.
I’m Canadian and I don’t pronounce “guitar” like that. Often when I travel in the States Americans mistake my accent for a Michigan accent… it’s hard to say where this guy is from.
Hey Chiballer111:
I’ve just built something really similar to this. Buy some Rockwool insulation, 148mm thickness, and some wood. Then you make a frame from the wood, so that your Rockwool will fit inside.
It’s really cheap, and it kicks ass in my basement studio.
Damn. The first recording of him playing guitar, the part after the picking part he he starts fully strumming chords, it sounds just like the iprov John Mayer did before one of the live versions of My Stupid Mouth (Soundtage I belief).
what are those acoustic walls….? where can you get them and how much?
you should try making acopy of a track, panning hard right/left and inverting the phase of one of the tracks. This gives a really awesome “out of speaker” effect because the signals are phasing eachother out somewhat between the speakers. The sound therefore seems to be eminating from the room as a whole, and not the speakers.
haas panning
around 5:00
I often find that in certain situations, depending on the room and guitar of course, you can encounter som combfiltering problems when the microphone is at 12th fret pointing toward the soundhole.
completly useful!!!!
thank you!!!!
Yes finally some excellent advice!
ha, im guessing this guy is canadian, u can tell by the way he says his a in guitar…lol
Sweet guitar motif too.
the last sample sounded like it had an orchestra
Says nothing about gain settings on preamp…you place any mic that close with no knowledge of gain setting and u’ll have a boomy mess
Fantastic info for us dummies that have never recorded before. Thanks!
do them seperately, guitar is nicer if it’s double mic’d (try 2 large diapragm condensers) and for vocals, just use one of em, DON”T FORGET A POP FILTER!
50 MS track delay is just fine
very well done thx man keep them coming? What the best way to get vocals and acoustic guitar?
Brilliant instructional video.
At 1:05 that is a lot more than 3 inches from the fretboard! More like 6-8 inches!
thank you for this video adam, very informative and thorough…i really appreciate it!
you know nothing
you know… it’s people like you that that are holding back muciains… you should all way strive for the best even if it is only by a bit. So yes small things add up to fantastic sounds… and fantastic sounds add up to fantastic sounds.
where in cubase does it say the milliseconds? just on the regular time dial?
