Possibly, I need to adjust the angle of the microphone(s).
If needed, I move one of the microphones a centimetre or two, closer or further away. After finding the desired positions of the guitar(ist) and microphones, I make the first test recordings, then I immediately load the 2CAudio Vector plugin to check for any phase issues. Phase problems can be fixed during mixing by aligning the offending tracks, but it's always preferable to take the extra time and correct this when setting up the microphones. Cancellations and comb filtering can potentially strip fundamental frequencies from our recording, leaving the recorded guitar sound thin and weak. When these differences are augmented to a greater degree, phasing occurs and has a noticeable influence on the sound quality of our recordings. Not dissimilar to how our ears and brains perceive and interpret the world around us. Combined with additional waves that reflect on the walls and other objects around us, all with small but not insignificant delays, these slight differences help to create the stereo effect that we experience.
This attribute is not entirely undesirable as the sound begins its journey from the plucked strings and the vibrations of the top of the guitar, our notes travel as sound waves towards the microphones and reach them at slightly different times. Phasing occurs when the wave shapes of two or more microphones are not perfectly aligned in the time domain. Most of the stereo microphone techniques require the microphones to be placed at some distance with each other, and the more microphones you use, the easier it gets to face phasing problems. The classical guitar is a rich and complex-sounding instrument, and as one, it can only be fully appreciated when recorded in stereo. Here are the three most essential plugins for the classical guitar: Phase Metering with the 2CAudio Vector There are just a few of them that I use every day and consider to be crucial for my workflow. We don't need to buy expensive and bulky hardware equalizers and reverb units anymore.Īlbeit the plethora of plugins, I adopt a minimal approach. This includes self promotion of music.This democratisation of music production brought an abundance of plugins plugins that we can use to shape our music in any shape or form we can imagine. If you are looking for feedback on your own music please post it to /r/abletonfeedback/. However, please take notice of a few rules:ĭiscussion of cracked software will be removed. Questions about synthesis, getting a certain sound with Live, troubleshooting, general or specific production questions and the like are welcome. Please post anything related to Live compatible hardware and software, synths, VSTs, controllers, etc.
