This is my favorite channel on KZfaq. every time I open the app, I can't resist to watch and learn. Mike is really a great teacher---an inspiration to create.

I don’t think u understand how much this video helped me. 🙏

Mike - your videos are awesome and just what I needed to find! Great info, great techniques and a great instructor! I can't wait to put your lessons to use.

Very comprehensive and in depth. Thanks Mike!

Brilliant! You are so good at making these helpful and informative videos! Thanks again!

Thank you very much! Really useful information for us beginners... Cheers!

Your videoes are exellent! Helps me alot :) Thank you for doing this!

Well Billy, I am a now a huge fan! Superb timeless sound!

Thanks Mike. Not all heros wear capes. Your videos are the best.

Great clip, most detailed and complex description on youtube!!!!

Omg, you always have a video for all my questions.

Brilliant! Been looking for a video on how to pan verbs opposite from their source instrument. Nice one!

Again, a very helpful tutorial. Many thanks

Great video as always! (and thanks for fixing the stereo issue)

Fantastic and meaningful video!

Excellent video, thanks!

thanks for all you do mike !!!

this video is amazing thank you very much !

Really helpful video! Like the combination Standard/Nashville tuning best....sounds great AND: Good performance

Realy useful information, thanx a lot!

Amazing, thank you

Good video 👍

I wonder why I did not see this video before since I know Mike's work. Thanks a lot Mike.

Good video on guitar recording using DAW, very R&D type

Like all your videos, Mike, this one is comprehensive and easy to follow. I loved the different effect chain options that you went through. Again, you never cut corners and always make comparing and contrasting of various ideas super easy to follow. One request I would like to make (because I almost never see it in youTube videos) is treatment of nylon stringed guitars, particularly when one is playing solo chord melodies. Just about every video I've ever seen on "recording acoustic guitar" only focuses on steel stringed instruments. Naturally the nylon world and the steel world are very different places. As a general rule, solo chord-melody nylon string players are looking for a very full, rich and warm sound (often the polar opposite of the goals of playing in steel). For myself, my nylon mixes inevitably come out not "sounding like a nylon stringed guitar" but rather "like a recording of a nylon stringed guitar". That is, some small amount of "electrification" or "computerization" always seems to creep into the mix. While I am sure EQ's and compression ... and perhaps a hint of reverb could enhance even a "nylon" recording, I think these FX must be used with extreme caution and restraint. As an example of a really nice nylon tone, please check out "Oblivian" by Russian guitarist Nadia Kossinskaja here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/aKqWqrqctMy4mWQ.html I can really hear the warmth coming from her instrument. It's that tone I would love to learn how to capture. This particular piece is "classical style" but the same tone would be nice for anyone playing stand-alone nylon string pieces. I know she uses "a pair of Rode NT5's ( Bridge and 14 fret) und a Sennheiser MK 4". (I know because she told me when I wrote and asked)... but other than that I know nothing else of her recording/mixing techniques. The point is, would you consider doing a video focusing on getting full and rich mixes from a solo nylon stringed instrument? Your same methodical treatment would be very helpful for us "nylon string lovers". Thanks!

Nashville - amazing!

Awesome video

So I took notes: high pass filter on low frequencyies, wide Q cut most all of the frequencies in the entire midrange, subtle cut the entire range of high frequencies, and add compressors and reverb.

These are awesome tips! Feels like the holy grail of brilliant sounding guitars finally being revealed... One question about Nashville Tuning: Have you ever experienced tearing strings while tuning them one octave up? And have you ever seen the production documentary about creating a cover of Bon Jovis "Wanted Dead or Alive" in Sonar X1 done by YT-User "SouthButte1"? Hearing that was when I was first astonished how good self recorded guitars can sound being tweaked in Sonar...

I always enjoy your videos. I'd like to know though when you say there's no processing going on how you overcame the proximity effect and the natural guitar resonances? The mic that you have doesn't sound anything like that at that closer proximity to any guitar in the world with no processing. The low end has clearly already been rolled off amongst many other cleaning up of your signal like the cut you already have at around 200hz. I'd love you to do a response regarding this video by what you mean by no processing. No processing to most people means mic, interface then daw only. That would be really helpful. Can't wait for your next vid

Wow 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🙌🙌🙌🙌

nice tutorial

Hey Mike, love the videos. I am a longtime Cakewalk/Sonar user and it is harder and harder to find useful videos now that they sold to Bandlab. Wondering if you could do a video on limiters, paying particular attention to low ends from Bass and Keyboards not ruining the mix. My mixes often sound great through my headphones (usually have to play at night while the family sleeps) but then when transitioning to regular speakers or car speakers the bass dominates the mix and ruins the overall mix.

I've used all of those methods but if I have a song with lots of acoustic guitar I love method 5. Also, I never could get a usable sound with the pick up either.

Think I figured out what type of mic I want and the recording process.

Hi Mike, I love your videos, I learn from them all the time, and I also use Cakewalk. I have a question for you, I record Spanish guitar, solo and sometimes in a group. I use a Rode NT1-A microphone on the bridge and an AKG 451 B on the 12th fret. My problem is that my breathing is always recorded and sometimes it is too obvious. I've tried all kinds of settings, changing the distance of the mics, different noise gates, and breath suppressor plugings, but I'm still not satisfied. Do you have any advice that could improve this situation. Regards and Thanks.

My suggestion for this and all videos of this type: Create preset files, with your settings and effects, and make it downloadable. Just a thought.

... 👍👍 !!

Question, could you just pan the send to oposite side rather than make 2 new reverb buses? Big fan of channel Thanks.

Holy cow its gonna take years to learn all this stuff ! I have been making videos on my phone and of course they sound like shit, Ive got to learn the proper way, but ive always hated computers, i like my old 4 track tape cassette recorder, i know what im doing with that. Im only about 40 years behind ! ( see, goddam computer doesnt even put an apostrophe where i want ! )

Very nice tutorial! Just to confirm, for the fourth method, you are record 2 more times and hard panned left and another hard panned right, am I correct ?

Should the room be acoustic treated or I can just record a good quality fingerstyle sound in a normal bedroom? do you cover a rug on your floor or is that hardwood or sth else? please answer this question because I have recording equipments but whenever I record in a bedroom I get a dead muddy sound with lot of resonant frequency!

Got a question and hope someone has an answer. I am new to recording and I have a song that I have multi guitar tracks in mind. Is it best to do each track down the middle or do one track left and the other one right? Each track are a little different. It's going to be three different tracks then a lead at some point. Is the lead a center track, seems to me it would.

I'm struggling with input levels for recording acoustic guitar. I have a Rode NT1 A into a Focusrite Scarlett Interface. I find I need to have the input gin right up in order to even hear what I have recorded. But then I get clipping

Hey!

Would you ever use two NT1A mics to record one guitar in stereo, or do you always use the NT5 for that?

The Nashville is my favorite. Although I am not using 2 different guitars, I rather use the same guitar with one track using a capo to play the same music. That sounds amazing too!

Nice, very Floydish sound, IMO.

I think you took all the life out of the guitar with that Fab Eq high pass and all those cuts . To me anyway :(
