Have you struggled to get a great acoustic guitar sound?
Not sure where to place the mic to get the sound you’re looking for?
Watch until the end of this video because you’ll learn how to record acoustic guitar like a pro!
Let’s get started by talking about Recording Acoustic Guitar with 1 microphone.
The first question you may ask may likely be; where to place the microphone?
but first we must ask: Where does the sound come from?
The Body
- The main source of resonance
- Full bodied sound / the heart of the instrument
- A bit boomy around the sound hole (avoid pointing the mic here)
The Neck
- Source of High Frequency Detail from fret buzz and finger noise
- Provides the character of the player/hands (important but can be abrasive)
The Bridge
- Provides a warmer tone from it's proximity to the body
- Slightly brassy tone from the strings contacting the bridge
Now you could focus your mic in on one of these areas, but I find that in a 1 microphone setup, it’s ideal to find a balance between the tone of the body and the detail of the neck.
I usually end up placing the microphone pointed somewhere between the 12th and 15th fret.
(6-8 inches away)
This points the mic at the body, while avoiding a direct path with the sound hole, which can be a bit boomy.
Likewise the mic is still directed at a part of the neck, which will provide some detail from the finger work, but the mic is offset from the left hand which will also help use the cardioid polar pattern to reduce any abrasive finger scraps.
