As you say, the stereo/mono choice depends on the role of the track in the song. For the main rhythm track I played the J-45 in unpanned stereo (pan on C). I assume that track has the left mic full L and the right mic full R, is that right? To that I added a lead acoustic track of riffs/fills/obligados on the HD-28. For that supporting part, I still recorded in stereo*** (but only because I was already set up for it), but I mixed it to about L65, so it sounds “close” to mono, but with a touch more width. It certainly comes from the left region of the stereo field, while the J-45 is spread wide across the field. *** Feb 6 edit: I went back and noticed that I had recorded the HD-28 lead part in mono after all! I sent it to L55, and I sent its reverb send to L70 to give it a bit more width, but not too much width.

I agree, that video is an example of a fantastic player influencing the sound as much as other factors. Not so much the mic; although I did find his mic choice (for that playstyle) interesting, so I wanted to ask about those very soft single notes not getting lost in the aether, but rather jumping forward.
Maybe he applied compression to get them there.The reverb and the processing in general probably does play a big part in that, as you guys were kind enough to point out-thanks. Edit: always nice to hear a Beatles song's harmonic secrets translated to solo guitar. Great renditions Doug. Last edited by olidward; 02-05-2023 at 08:07 AM. |

notes of different initial volumes stand out clearly as do those notes as they fade away over time. No compression used. Just for one example of a composition and recording of mine: http://dcoombsguitar.com/Guitar%20Mu...stain%20Me.wav

Listening to the Matre video again, I'm struck by how quiet his noise floor is in that room. Not just background sounds, but also a seeming absence of flutter echo or comb filtering.

Those 295's really capture the high end. I had a pair for a brief while. Great Mics! Nickle capsules just like the KM54's. |

That 2018 Martin D-18 D18 Dreadnought Guitar recording was not mine. My recording was earlier in the thread in post #33.

With one mic, for this kind of thing, I'd suggest placing the mic on the body, above the soundhole, about even with the waist of the guitar. Everyone tells you to put the mic on the neck/body joint, and that works great for a thin, stringy sound that you might want on a rhythm guitar track in a band mix. For a guitar alone like this, I at least, prefer more body, less strings. I'd suggest experimenting with more mic placements.

My wording seems to have triggered some confusing albeit informative discussion. It's someone else's video, yeah. I was getting frustrated with my apparent incompetence with all things embedded and ended my comment prematurely. Last edited by olidward; 02-06-2023 at 04:40 AM. |

Got it, yes, you definitely confused me :-). to embed a video, you just put in the code, the part after the = sign in the url, then surround it with YOUTUBE tags, or select the text and click the you tube button.

Thank you everyone. Sort of an update: a forum member that is willing to part with a set of MK41's has contacted me offering presumably an understanding price; that made my day. He turned out to be quite an interesting fellow and we blew past the mics and talked story. That made my day too. |
