So here are the individual mic tracks that make up the whole thing. Since the original clip I posted was comp'd from 3 different takes, the playing will of course be different . I've included another 'combined' version though so you can hear this take in reference to the individual mics.The NT1A captures the majority of the overall sound, with the direct getting more the highs, and the ribbon (Trion) getting the mid-lows and lows.

wow. Its really cool to hear all that stuff come together. Each input has a different character that the others don't have. The DI starts getting iffy when you play chords and stuff, but as you said, it gets the highs nice and crisp. The NT1a gets the middle of the sound. It is overall the "best" alone in my opinion, but when you throw in that trion, you get the low end. Well done.

Thanks guys, glad you like it. I figured the idea would be worth sharing as I know we don't all have nice big chambers in our places, so capturing acoustic has always been tricky in a bedroom .I would definitely give a recommendation to the reflexion filter as it really helped to isolate the ribbon mic. It's a figure of 8 pattern, so the filter helped to keep any reflections and noise from entering the back side of the mic. I didn't use anything on the NT1A, so it gets a bit of room sound. I think one other thing that helped was driving the pre-amp as much as I could per channel. So I had the preamp set great for picking, but I couldn't do any hard strumming with this setting as it would clip the inputs going into the computer. I had to turn the pre-amp down to allow for the peaks while strumming, and it didn't quite capture as much air or presence as the picking settings did. It's still good, but not quite the same. It's the first time I really wished for an out-board compressor to help contain the peaks so I could drive the pre-amp better . Benson |

I still don't like DI guitar sounds, and the fret noise I get from them, what does both signals panned hard left and hard right, from the mics while leaving out the DI give you? and have you checked the phase on these signals?

.As for phase issues, there's none that I can detect. The mics were setup pretty much parrallel to each other, both equal distance from the guitar (about 6 - 8 inches). Hence the sound should have been hitting both mics at the same time. The blended / all recording is the bounce of all of the signals into a single track, so if there are any phase issues they should be present in these sample recordings. ![]() Benson |
