This new recording with Omni's Closer....OH MY....What a difference! So open & full sounding! All of the ambience of the guitar surrounds you. Yes you should be very pleased! Being miced in closer, the Compressor was necessary to level the playing field. ....However, I feel this allowed that big open sound I am hearing. As the Omni's captured the entire body sound, while the compressor leveled. Obviously, this is still a slightly enhanced sound (when you level the dynamics). And some may not like it because of that, saying that this is not a natural sound. But in many ways, this represents the sound I hear, when I lean my head over the body while playing. Yes it is enhanced a bit, But I like it! The sound surrounds you. As Jim1960 has previously pointed out, sometimes a big sound like this may not stick out in an entire mix of drums, bass, symphony. Sometimes a more focused sound is what is needed. But in solo guitar...and probably solo guitar and voice..this is quite lovely. Please share with us the type compressor & settings used. |

I agree - it's a good approximation of what I hear while playing, and I like it for these solo pieces. FYI: signal chain: guitar -> AT4050s -> Discrete 4 Interface -> Reaper into 2 tracks (left/right). Then I send the two tracks into one track where I add compressor then reverb: The compressor is a Waves CLA-76. I used the default 'Bluey' preset for acoustic guitar, but through the 'Blacky' revision. The needle doesn't move much, apart from a bit of wavering on some of the strums. The reverb is Waves IR1, using the Room-1 preset but all the way down to 4.83% wet - so it's hardly there at all, just enough to add a little room back into the close-mic sound. Tom |

What other acoustic Panels do you have and their placement? Carpeted floors or wood floors? |

The room isn't perfect - in the future I'll have some panels on the walls to deaden. Ideally I'll be able to try more mic positions, not just close-mic'ing, once I've get panels up. |
