The guitar has two resonate frequencies. One for the lower bout and one for upper bout. The lower bout resonate frequency can be a problem with bass proximity effects with near field mic'ing (e.g. under a foot). The lower bout resonate frequency will be much louder in the recording. I like to do near field mic'ing and then I subtractive EQ the lower bout resonate frequency. You can find this frequency with a spectral analyzer. Typically it is a G or G# (98 Hz or 103.83 Hz). Depending on the key you are performing in, pick a note in the scale that comes closest to your resonate frequency. Once you have the note, do the subtractive EQing like you shown.
Thank you for this! It will be helpful. I do add EQ now days - ever since I invested in some decent recording equipment and software. (But all my TH-cam contributions were done before this.)
Sebastian, as you're peaking those frequencies and 'scoping' left to right, you say, 'OK, there's one. If you listen, you can kinda hear those frequencies.' Listening with EQ in mind is skill you have that I think many viewers don't, myself included, myaw :( Unless I legitimately missed it, may I suggest a video explaining how to hear such things? Like, I heard that that it was better 'after,' but otherwise, ya lost me. As a fellow Guitar Teacher, I appreciate it!
One thing I’ve been struggling with is recording noise, like a “hiss” kind of sound. In order to get rid of it I have to either turn my gain down on my interface to the point where the recording is super low volume, or EQ it out by remove a massive chunk of high end frequencies. Neither solution is great obviously. Edit: I should clarify that recording at low gain to reduce hiss and then turning up the volume of the track in my DAW doesn’t work because when I turn the volume up on the DAW it just reintroduces the hiss, even if I recorded with low gain.
@@SebastianRuzycki thank you for the answer! And which Ozone plugin do you have - standard or advanced? I am also considering to buy one but don't know which of them
Do you prefer the sound of a raw recording or do you add some eq to a your recording?
I only use the sound of the raw, after on the mixing I test some things. Thanks for the video from Argentina
Wonderful video! Always interesting to see how other musicians work on the recordings! Thank you for sharing Sebastian!!! 😃
Thank you! Ya, I agree. Interested to see how you record and edit.

Great to hear. What's your workflow?

Thanks, you get me a lot of information about that 🙏🌺
nice, thanks
Hey Sebastian! Which DAW are you using?
I use Luna.
@@SebastianRuzycki thank you for the answer! And which Ozone plugin do you have - standard or advanced? I am also considering to buy one but don't know which of them
I think I have the standard one. izotope seem to have sales on their products all the time.
I’m totally confused.
