I was wondering that also but then realized he says is using this model Guitar (below) , so I am guessing it is not the guitar.
Since its' the same problem with different mics and in different rooms I would think , its either something with his mixing EQ and compression boosting etc. Or, wonder if maybe something is wrong with the Scarlett pre's or converters ?????? I would think this would be a decent reference track to shoot for, sound wise

We need to hear an example. My bet would be room acoustics or mic placement - but that's only because that's 99% of the problems people have when they post here. Otherwise, it's just a random guess.

My point was (and I could be mistaken) but the sound samples I have heard of the two guitars he mentions leads me to believe it's probably not the guitar/s And the fact he mentions recording in a different bigger room same issue , suggests it may not be the room either ??? And the fact he mentions other mics same issue , suggests it may not be the mics. ( I had not thought of ,, but do agree, mic placement could certainly be a factor that could span different mics and or rooms ) ... And was simply musing , that seems to leave only his mixing or something in his chain, besides the mics, ???? But you are correct without a sample ,,,is just a random guess

Seems like a post of an example would allow people to help more quickly. I suspect some people don't want to post examples because they think the performance isn't polished enough. For this kind of issue, just playing a couple of chords would suffice, just something simple so we can hear the problem.

If you are just throwing up a little foam, blankets, or thin panels, you really aren't doing much that will help. Uncontrolled bass will cause most of the problems in a small room -- even if what you are hearing is in the high frequencies. You need some decent bass trapping where you can fit it in.
Check out the last half of this video to hear the difference between a treated and untreated room. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b9u6rvWSTDM Last quarter of it even has an acoustic guitar.

I have had a similar problem from time to time in the past, usually has to do with the software routing for my recording interface. Not sure what or how the Scarlet software console looks like or how it works, but I notice something similar happens when my routing is wrong. Try to start with a new default console setting, and turn down the faders for any unnecessary inputs and outputs. It is hard to explain or advise you properly, but for what it is worth, good luck! There are so many variables to consider.

Wow - sorry, day job blew up and haven't had time to check back in or supply a sample. But quick update:
1. @Doug Young - AWESOME video you posted. Really appreciate the time put into that and lots of great info. 2. Just grabbed a different interface today to try out because I'm suspecting it might have something to do with the pre's or the ADC. Will report back. (And post a sample so it's not so much of a "I cooked dinner last night and it tasted bad. Help." sort of thing. |
