Here
Not much
I'm saving up for something lifelong
>>686758000
the acoustic is by Corbin. It says sequoia on the head so i assumed that was the brand
do any of you guys have experience with mic recording?
>>686759533
Yeah, some of it. What do you need?
>>686756975
>Any guitarfags on /b/?
Summer is the guitarfag season. You see a lot of threads pop up around now.

I'm not sure how to obtain good quality recordings. Every tutorial says obvious shit like "yeah, plug in the mic, press record, etc." I use abovementionted setup of Shure SM58 and UX2 interface, but everytime I record vocals it sounds fucking flat. What is the most crucial step? I record one mono track - ofcourse. What to do with it now? Split into two tracks and pan them left and right? Add some reverb? It just sounds fucking flat and unnatural. Wat do anon?

(Lollar vintage t, brass saddles, MIM body, fender baja neck)
couple of overdrive pedals + delay pedals + fuzz
(timmy + danelectro transparent od1 mkII tonebender clone, caitalinbread belle epoch.
couple of old sears/silvertone and ampeg amps
sears 40xl, sivertone twin twelve ampeg gemini and a couple of other weird small amps
Classicalfag here (so I don't expect anyone to reply). Wanting this ziricote model but it's about £150 pounds extra for the look alone. I'm not convinced that ziricote is a worthwhile alternative to rosewood at all but it looks damn good.
>>686760910
It depends, I assume here you are talking about vocals, not guitar.
One thing is to properly record it. Since it's a dynamic mic, place the mic next to your mouth but without touching it. Make sure you are recording at a reasonable level. You need to avoid saturating, but you dont want to record at a very low volume, adjust the gain in the interface.
Mixing the entire thing is just another story. Since you're recording with a dynamic mic made for live situations, it isn't gonna sound like a proper recording in studio, be reasonable.
As far as the mixing technique goes, you must use a compressor and a EQ, mainly. If you want to give more body to the voice, you can record 2 or more tracks and place them a little bit to the right and left. Or you can use a stereo imager.
If you don't know anything about miximg, learn it first. If you just want some presets than sound more or less well, look up the EZmix plugin, it has a lot of presets for any instrument that sound pretty cool.
If you want to learn, use waves plugins, they are one of the best. Also, look up fabfilter, these brands are very popular and very good
>>686760583
haven't seen any of them thus far.
Mine, it was my fathers guitar, he gave it to me, when I turned 15
>>686763040
They get more and more frequent as anons get more and more bored. That's not to say that they last that long or anything.

I havr several, but for the sake of keeping the thread interesting, I'll post my 1935 Dobro that my grandfather bought brand new for $25.
Even the case is original.
>>686764564
Nice. Looks in very decent condition for its age as well. Do you play it or just keep it safe?
>>686765028
It does get played once in a while but it mostly sits. I'd hate to have something on it break now that it's worth several thousand dollars
I pawned it and will lose it soon. Yay!
>>686766855
Why do people buy solid state marshalls? For the brand name?
>>686767077
It had a lot to do with liking the amp.
>>686761777
I like that
>>686767338
And maybe lack of patience and/or inability to save money?
>>686756975
hi there dutchfag.

Nice bass. How old is it?
Since we're posting basses here's mine.
Hear about the bass player that locked his keys in his car?
It took him 4 hours to get the drummer out.
>>686766848
Love your enthusiasm!
Keep on keeping on brutha.
How much did you hock it for? Was it worth it?
bumping with something I'm learning.

Post vocaroos.
>>686767776
But is it worth the extra price? That's the question.
>>686763510
What is it and when did he get it? It doesn't look that old in any case.
Mine
>>686773219
How good is your flamenco playing?
Don't die yet.
>>686773625
Don't play flamenco
But thanks for the recomendation
>>686775121
I only mentioned it because nylon stringed guitars with 'pickguards' are basically a flamenco thing. It's less usual to see ones with them.
One more bump.
>Seriously considering spending my last $1000 dollars on a guitar I simply don't need.
Help.
>>686777118
Is there anything better to spend your money on?
>>686777368
From a hobby point of view, no but having literally no savings is never good.
>>686757314
>Shure 57
Best mic of all time, I use mine for vocals too
>>686761094
The action looks like shit
>>686777531
What's the guitar in question and what guitars do you own? What sort of income do you have?
>>686777531
I've lived all of my 34 years with literally no savings.
You're right, it's never good.
>>686777945
Based on mine next to me, it seems normal enough for a classical. I thing it's just the angle of the picture.
Yamaha but she serves me well, 5 years strong and I've never had a problem.
Guitar I built, has built in Zvex Fuzz Factory and Fernandes sustainer front pickup with JB series Seymour Duncan humbucker

Fucking IPhone turning my shit sideways

Nothing wrong with Yamahas m8, great value for money.

I've actually got a few more than this, but they're all meh stuff people see all the time. I present: Moonbooty, the salvage monstrosity.

Says the one trying to be an asshole for no reason.
This summer's going to be fun.
>>686767668
Because preference doesn't exist.
>>686782240
Does that have the Harmony H-802 bridge and tailpiece on it?
Maton em325c
>>686782240
How does she sound?
>>686767780
why do you rape your guitar with Metallica and skull stickers?
>>686783068
The very one, actually. The 802 body was cracked and the neck was warped so it sat in the back of my closet until I salvaged the bridge and tailpiece for this. I'm probably going to repurpose the Harmony body and neck for a badass clock or something like you'd see hanging in a bar.
>>686783324
Not too bad, actually. Better than it did before the old bridge broke. There's a scrap piece of some hardwood or another on the inside that the tailpiece is anchored to. It's a bit more trebly than it used to be, but it still has a full sound.
I've got less than $20 bucks in this thing and I'll play it until it falls apart. Probably the most interesting one I own, at least. It's not a Martin or anything, but it amuses me.
>>686784052
Nice. I have the H-802 in my room right now.
It's not bad, but the neck is probably the worst part, though.
And it sounds fucking amazing through an overdriven Marshall.
>>686785305
And here's the Marshall. It's an Artist 3203. I don't know why my pics are sideways.
>>686785305
>>686785660
That's the damndest thing about these old guitars, even the shitty dime store guitars sound good with a little love or the right amp. I've kept the electronics out of the 802, I was thinking about jerry-rigging Moonbooty into an acoustic electric with them, but I'll probably wait until I need to do a string change first. Lazy.
Probably iphone, on the sideways pics. But that's a damned nice looking Marshall. I'm stuck to using a Line6 Spider IV for now, but it does what I need it to, though I would appreciate better.
