How to record to get this sound?
Hi,
Anyone knows how they record the acoustic guitar on this song? I want to try to get close to this sound but don't know how to approach it. https://youtu.be/ca9ub9rpNK4 |

Sounds like what you could get with a spaced pair mike guitar recording over dubbed with another spaced pair guitar recording plus panning and some effects.

^ This. Listen to that intro with headphones on. There are two guitars with some panning going on (you can hear it in the pick sound, which is different in each ear).

There's also some sophisticated EQ and compression going on there.

Wouldn't you get the same recorded guitar sound just by shooting your video in Toronto??? Okay, that's just ridiculous but I couldn't resist. See posts above for serious responses.

I'd say that most of that sound is due to the player and the guitar.

Not a big guitar. Not a Martin. Doubled, but not mixed 50/50. One mic, backed off a ways. Mixed with a fairly steep high pass filter and a narrow, telephone-y boost in the 1-2k neighborhood.

Like midwinter said, it is two different tracks panned left / right.
So either one guitar playing the line twice or two guitars recorded seperatly. Here is an example of one guitar playing the same line overdubbed. Recorded with a small diaphragm condenser mic. http://www.polyphon-recording.de/Collide.mp3 Dirk |

It is remarkably, uh, "smooth."

There is a reason Chris Lord-Alge makes the big bucks. And while perhaps not automatically indicative, his studio is "Hybrid' with numerous quality outboard analog EQ's and Comps .
And lets not forget Bob said "sophisticated". As in (IMO) --even if fairly substantial, still done very well . Compression and EQ are tools and done well enhances music and does not detract, the "Myth" that EQ and Comp are noticeable and or detrimental, is more a function of misuse , not good use .
