I often recommend that people use a “45-degree angle” on the neck microphone as a starting point for recording acoustic guitar. Just describing it in words can be a little confusing, so I put together this quick video to illustrate what I mean.
I also explain why the 45-degree angle is a good place to start.
If you like this video, and/or you would like to see additional topics covered, please let me know in the comments section below.
Thanks!
I thought in Nashville one day it be at 45 degrees, the next day 80 and the next day 20 degrees? Oh wait, that’s the weather here ;). Great video buddy! I’ve only done the 45 degrees on X-Y mic’ing. I will definitely try that next session.
Great video Fett! Will be trying this in my next session.
