Here a recording I made a few years back solely using the pick-up in my then Taylor 522. My recording skills were very limited and I don’t remember doing anything like editing, e.g. EQ. These days I prefer by far the use of mics. The way I recorded The water is wide appears now too direct, too rudimentary. One learns by doing.
25/11 Correction: today I listened more carefully over my monitors and immediately noticed the reverb I added. Last edited by Karel; 11-27-2018 at 05:24 AM. |

Joseph Hanna -
I had no idea that a Taylor Mini could sound that good. Spruce top? |

Koa. Although I must say the Mini (as a broad brush stroke) has a pretty definable sound unto itself and I noticed little difference between the tonality spruce vs koa. When I purchased it I was more taken in by the feel and playability of that particular guitar!

What some people don't realize at first, though, is that they can record something in a noisy room and play it back in that same room, and it'll sound like it's completely noise-free. Which it isn't, it's just that the noise in the room is masking the noise in the recording. |

Getting close to the guitar with the mic (6" or so) and putting a couple of movable gobos (framed rockwool insulation panels) could help you.
Send the wife out to the store, and put the dogs out in the yard.

Yes I do plan on adding some reverb or delay so maybe plugged in will be adequate for what I am doing. I am going to look into the ToneDexter and see if that will help. I do have a neighbor that has a converted detached garage that she uses as an office for selling some products that she said I could use any time so that may be a good option now. Seems pretty quiet in there. The thought to ask her didn't dawn on me until after I submitted my post. |

There’s a fair amount on this track. There is an orchestral “high string” almost all the way through. I find a single high string drone often accentuates the return to the root chord nicely so I use that technique a lot. A pizzicato string track. There are two bass violin tracks, doubled. There are two cello’s, one of which just doubles the bass violins and one obviously a solo cello. Finally and are two “vox humana” pads from Omnispere. Yes the tracks (other than the two guitars) are all soft synth’s. Gaggles available out there these days but one does have to at least “think” somewhat like a string player when using strings pads, likewise cello or piano etc. Otherwise pretty easy stuff! |
