Hey friends,
Yes I know, I have promissed to post some clips of my new Takamine, but I have to admit that recording an acoustic guitar is a whole new and different world. I use Line 6's Gearbox software and I accept that of course using a software preamp doesn't sound like the natural sound I hear when I play my acoustic guitar, but still I do not get anywhere close to an acceptable result, although I would compromise on this one.
What are your experiences with recording acoustic guitar? Are you miking the guitar? Hell, I have never done that and I am afraid doing this. First of all I have no good mic, second I know that the room has to fulfill special requirements....think this is gonna be tough for me, but I take all this as a challenge.
If you have tips, presets for Gearbox that work for you, then please help me out a little bit. Since I have this acoustic guitar, I do not wanna touch my electric....
