![]() ![]() When you stand a few feet away you hear the sum of all of these sounds, but when you close mic, or use a pickup, you have to pick one aspect of the tone, and essentially throw the rest out. Every piece of the instrument is making a different tone. And in fact that's true for any primarily acoustic instrument, that can have pickups put on it (violin, cello, upright bass, piano etc). So for acoustic I would say always mic it. And even that one sounded better miced from the outside) (the only guitar I've worked with that got close enough was a Brazilian Rosewood Taylor 814e with the Fishman Electronics package. The higher end ones will include a microphone that adds enough tone that you could probably get away with it. The lower end ones simply have a magnetic pickup behind the string next to the sound hole, or a piezo pickup behind the bridge. It also has a lot to do with the guitar, and the electronics package. It will still sound too much like an acoustic to be very useful in electric guitar applications, but not have the tone to stand up in a recording. CONNECT YOUR GUITAR, UKULELE OR OTHER INSTRUMENT TO YOUR PHONE WITH iRIG ACOUSTIC AND PROCESS WITH 3 AMPLIFIERS. ![]() There is however a significant sacrifice in tone to make it happen. THE NUMBER ONE TONE STUDIO HAS GONE ACOUSTIC. The electric acoustic is mainly intended for acoustic guitar sound live performances, where it wouldn't be practical to mic the guitar. Of the pick on strummed chords in addition to the electric guitarĪs a general rule, for recording, you want to use the right instrument to get the exact sound you want. I even mic'ed my Strat at the pickups so that I'd get the sound IK Multimedia is the owner of award-winning mastering plugin T-Racks. To me, it's all just personal preference with IK Multimedia is known as one of the top VST plugins and instruments manufacturer. But on other songs I've done I wanted that soundīut also the high frequency stuff and 'clickiness' of the pick Going direct to me is warmer, fuller,Īnd has much less high frequency content. In my personal experience, it's really just a matter of personal Would you normally just expect to plug it straight in via an interface like the Cakewalk or would you normally amp it a bit first? Is it not possible to get an acceptable sound without one? sorry if that seems daft but I have no experience of anything other an electric guitar as I only do instrumental stuff and I use Superior Drummer, SampleTank etc. Thanks - I was hoping I wouldn't need a mike for an electro-acoustic. ![]()
