How did you make the baffles? Will they completely remove the bad room sounds? I will be recording in a small room about 11 x 11. I have bass traps etc. already but I know small rooms are horrible for recording acoustic guitar. If I use bass traps, put an acoustic absorber “cloud” on the ceiling and build these baffles will I be able to eliminate the bass buildup etc. inherent in a small room from reaching the mic? Would if be better to build bigger baffles?
hey where do go or how do you do the time shift? how to adjust to 50ms or 20ms?
OH MY GOD YOU SAVED MY MUSIC. I was so frustrated I was about to just give up recording music at home. This has made a huge difference in my recordings. Thanks so much for this post. Very helpful
Good info man. Thanks a lot. Now maybe I can start producing better quality recordings. Thanks again
@recordbetteraudio
LOL – 50 ms is equal to a whole cycle (360° phase shift) at 20 Hz.
– it will cause problems with cancellations at low frequencies.
Anyway time-shifting with small delays (up to about 1 ms) is nice
– for example left channel is delayed it will sound like the sound is to the right. Combined with some amount of ordinary left and right panning it’s awesome. Also that sounds much more realistic when listening thru headphones than just panning.
so, which microphone do you recommend for home acoustic guitar recording? NT1 or NT5?
Excellent video, thank you for making it.
Sounds far better than the $1000 Mojave I just heard.
@tacochavez wrong.
you should phase reverse the second track….also, why not use 2 mics, pan each L and R, then you can do what you want with each!
Well, real acoustic treatment is really expensive. Usually around $100 per 2′x4′ square.
I’m Canadian and I don’t pronounce “guitar” like that. Often when I travel in the States Americans mistake my accent for a Michigan accent… it’s hard to say where this guy is from.
Hey Chiballer111:
I’ve just built something really similar to this. Buy some Rockwool insulation, 148mm thickness, and some wood. Then you make a frame from the wood, so that your Rockwool will fit inside.
It’s really cheap, and it kicks ass in my basement studio.
Damn. The first recording of him playing guitar, the part after the picking part he he starts fully strumming chords, it sounds just like the iprov John Mayer did before one of the live versions of My Stupid Mouth (Soundtage I belief).
what are those acoustic walls….? where can you get them and how much?
you should try creating acopy of a track, panning hard right/left and inverting the phase of one of the tracks. This gives a really awesome “out of speaker” effect because the signals are phasing eachother out somewhat between the speakers. The sound therefore seems to be eminating from the room as a whole, and not the speakers.
haas panning
around 5:00
I often find that in certain situations, depending on the room and guitar of course, you can encounter som combfiltering problems when the microphone is at 12th fret pointing toward the soundhole.
completly useful!!!!
thank you!!!!
Yes finally some good advice!
ha, im guessing this guy is canadian, u can tell by the way he says his a in guitar…lol
Sweet guitar motif too.
the last sample sounded like it had an orchestra
Says nothing about gain settings on preamp…you put any mic that close with no knowledge of gain setting and u’ll have a boomy mess
Great info for us dummies that have never recorded before. Thanks!
