Recording: Acoustic guitar, microphone technique

Recording acoustic guitar and is one of the hardest tasks that anyone can make in music. Experiment is the key to perfect results, but there are a few basic, engineering-approved microphone placement techniques and tips that will be high quality acoustic guitars.

Close-reduction technology
Close-reduction is a technique in which a microphone very close to an instrument or sound source – usually removes inches to 1 foot. Musicians and engineers use this technique because of the focused sound microphones provides. Recording instruments, this technique minimizes bleed from other instruments and Musicians in the room, as well as unwanted noise. This technique is commonly used at home by including in the untreated room, or in situations where the Surround sound is undesirable or harmful to the recording. Close inspection is usually done with dynamic microphones, since they have a very focused and directional characteristics can usually high volume. A commonly used technique to be a dynamic microphone microphones about 8 cm before 12 Fret on an acoustic guitar. Large diaphragm microphones such as Condensers and ribbon microphones are sometimes used in this manner to sources with quieter passages or song.

Distant-reduction technology
Distant-acceptance is a technique in which a microphone is placed farther away from the noise source – often between 5 feet and greater distance. This technique is used in situations where a Combination of the sound of the room, the sound and the instrument is desired, generally in the recording studio with acoustically tuned rooms. Distant-miking in general do not bleed in situations where a problem is to be used, and are usually used only when an instrument is recorded or overdubbed recorded in isolation. Large diaphragm microphones such as Condensers and ribbon mics with figure-eight patterns are often used this technique, since they tend to get the most detail and natural sound.

Combination Miking techniques
Combining microphones and distant-miking is often the best result possible if done correctly. Many engineers use a dynamic microphone with the neck or the guitar sound hole to close, while placing a different microphone, usually a large-diaphragm condenser microphone or a tape to record further away Space and reverberation. With this combination of technology allows you to create all the details and full sound of the guitarist and instrument record – from light hand movements with a microphone close to a full, warm sound with a remote microphone. Using two microphones, you can do more later on the remote microphone or use the microphone in the vicinity during mixing. When using this technique, make sure the room microphones at least three meters from each phase problems that result in weak signals and poor sound quality can be avoided.
