Interesting read. Some very expensive gear that was mentioned.
Norbert mikes are quite far away and his recordings therefore sound somewhat more distant then I prefer. Ricardo Marui gets closer to the sound I like. I would opine that classical guitars are easier to get an at least a good quality recording of than are flattop guitars where there is all that metallic sizzle to try and keep from being harsh sounding. In the almost always less than ideal room acoustics faced by the home recordist it is more of a challenge to get the sound you want.

thanks! great stuff....i've been using a little tascam digital 8-track with two integral OMNI mics--and NO OTHER GEAR (the recorder also has EQ/compression/reverbs/editing/mastering built-in)..
and have been pleased with the results... and here i learn my 'rig' is a low-cost version of what the pros prefer for nylon string guitar... YAY!! so, i'm not TOO much of an idiot...i am so relieved side note: why l prefer stand-alone units--like the tascam--to computer-based recording: because these little units ARE computers, but computers designed for one thing only: recording music. and they have actual dials and knobs--cleverly disguised to look and feel like old-school 'analog recorders/mixers'... and they use the old-school terminology for the functions..... look ma, no mouse-clicking!...look ma, WAY MORE AFFORDABLE!!..look ma, it's the size of a book, can take it anywhere, can run on batteries! etc. Last edited by janepaints; 05-12-2018 at 07:53 PM. |
