Hi again, Need some advice on how to get better results on recording a nylon string classical guitar.
I used a Vocal condenser mic fairly close to the sound hole and got ok results but some problems.
Tried mic pre- seemed to boost sensitivity but change the sound. I tried without and it seems more natural but only seems to record the note pics louder and buries the drone sounds and natural resonance.
What do you guys do to keep unwanted sounds of the track? I hear my breathing through the whole thing.
I eq`d the track a bit and added a wide stereo field and tried some different reverbs and space designer in Logic 9 but it always seems like a trade off.
Any good rule of thumb creating space in the sound?
The song is simple me playing guitar on one track trying to capture the actual sound of the guitar. (It is a nice tone)
I am going to re-cut the track, I can upload to sound cloud later. I`m kind of spinning my wheels on this one.
Thanks in advance!
