Good Tweaks For Acoustic Guitar?
Hi All,
My name's Sean, nice to meet you! I know there are tons of posts on here with regards to recording and what hardware/software to use, but the one particular subject I've always found it difficult to learn about is how to subtly enhance an acoustic guitar sound with software like Cooledit, Reaper, etc.
My current setup is thus:
SE Electronics 2200A Condenser Mic
Focusrite Saffire 6 USB Audio Interface (2 Built In Preamps)
Samsung R720 (Dual Core 2.1Ghz, 4GB RAM, 320GB HD)
Oh and the guitar, very recently purchased:
Tanglewood TSM 2
I've got Cooledit Pro 2.0 and Adobe Audition, which are very similar (is Audition just an updated Cooledit?)
I was just wondering if anybody could share some basics on what they might do with EQ, Compressors, Reverb, Dynamics Processing when they've got their raw acoustic track down? I play mainly solo fingerstyle stuff where I'm trying to get a very clear, sharp tone (hence long fingernails) and I'm still not very clued up on home recording. When I had another condenser mic previously I first spent six months recording into the topside of it: I didn't realise it had a horizontal front and back, so you can see what a newb I am!
Sean
