Dude thank you! This is the perfect level of detail. A lot tutorials I leave more confused than I started because they’re way too long winded
I would use a dynamic EQ for the "thump". That way it doesn't interfere with the overall warmth of the sound and only kicks in when there's actually a problem.
Same 🤘🏻
Good idea... Tdr nova?
Nothing but excellence. Really appreciate your channel and courses. Thanks Pally!
I only record guitar and vocals, this helps so much. Almost everything I've learned is from this channel. Thanks broseph
Joe's the man! Always explains things in simple terms making mixing a pleasure! Thanks Joe!
This is a really awesome video for some like myself who is learning the basics of EQ'n with an Acoustic. I would say its one of the best in depth videos I've watched. you break it down and make it extremely easy to understand.
Great stuff as always. Very helpful and clearly explained. Can't ask for anything more! Thank you.
Thanks so much! Great and useful video!
Helped a lot. Thank you, Joe.
Thank you so much! Sweet and simple, super helpful!
Very well done. A nicely explained basic rule of how to EQ acoustic guitars. Was a little blown away when you said you almost never compress acoustics, but the way I'm using them I guess I have to and in other instances it really isn't needed. When I do compress, It's very light with a fairly high threshold and a medium-ish release and attack. I wish I had seen this video years ago before I had to painfully figure a lot of this out, but even still you reminded me of how to approach it in a simple clear manner.
Thank you so much bro! Great material!!
Thanks Joe! You are so helpful!
Great job, Joe! Thanks
Thanks Joe!
Thank you so much for this tutorial!
This helps so much. Thank you!
Big help. Very informative and to the point. Thanks
Excellent tutorial.
Incredible tutorial, thank you!
Terrific video!
Bro, you're the man!
As always, thanks for you help!!!
Great video Joe!!
I always wondered why everybody said cut the mids to get rid of the quack, the plastic. Nobody explained why. I suspect most don't know why. Finally somebody explained it. Thanks!
Sounding good Joe!
Love your vids man 💯
Excellent video, very useful and informative!
Thinking of cutting or boosting the freqs like turning up or down the fades is a great way to look at the eq. Thank you
One of your best explanations to EQ.
Again, thank you very much. Very helpful to me.
Thanks for your awesome videos.
Joe Always make sense!!!
I like these ideas!!
Thx for this, some great tips...and effective
Very helpful for someone beginning ,Thank You Joe
Thank you Joe, always love your approach and common sense tips. Just bought a Faderport 8 today my first Presonus! :) Tod
I know we use the word “nasal” a lot but when you were boosting that 500-800hz before pulling it down a bit I literally felt it in my sinuses lol. Crazy how sensitive our bodies our, and how we always have the answer in us somewhere
this is a superb video, thank you so much for it
Amazing trick I'll implement it 🥳
Hi, Joe! Thanks for the clear and logical explanation! Keep it up!
GREAT!! Thanks!!
Thanks Joe - really helpful (as always) 🙏🏻🤟
Thanks very much for this tips. They really made a diference on the acoustic guitar sound of my last recording.
Good stuff!
great tips my friend! acoustic guitar is a tricky beast when it comes to eqing. this definitely opened up some opportunities for me. thanks again!
thanks for making everything so understandable
amazing dude
Thanks! This helps a lot!
Enjoyed....good lesson , cheers
A great help thanks. A simple easy to understand method - my Epiphone now sounds as good on recordings as it does live. 😊
Excellent Joe! 👏🏻
It's funny that you mention compression, as not compressing an acoustic guitar. I did bunch of acoustic guitar mic test today, yesterday, with LDC, SDC, ribbon, and Dynamic mics. They ranged in price form about $100.00 up to around $2000.00. I'm not a fan of compression in general, but I did my genereal test with all my compressors and limiters, and every single one of the mics sounded way better without any compression or limiting of any kind.
Great advice. Ty sir
Awesome great music song. Bass guitar. So sound
Thanks Joe...!
Thanks for providing me some guidance on "shaping" my sound for acoustic guitar. I am novice to mixing and am never content with my acoustic guitar tracks.
Thank you Joe, now I won't jump out a window. You're so right even if you know what you are doing there's a real art to recording and mixing AC GTR and it is no quick venture pulling into a complex mix and not losing it.
❤❤❤❤❤❤amazing and informative. So much info and so much advice and so much to go off and try for myself. Thank you. ❤❤❤❤❤
This was a great tutorial. Like you said miking techniques can help get a good sound right from the beginning. I am learning to record acoustics and have a carbon fiber model. Let me tell you it has been a challenge. It has it's own personality, so I think my efforts to make it 'sound like wood' will only go so far. I finally have a tone I can work with. Thanks!
I love your projectnames
great video
Very good advice thnx lot ..
incredible video super
very good tutorial about EQ here thanks 🙏🏻
Thank you
That was really helpful, thank you. Subscribed to your channel already
Gold!
Thanks Joe. I wish we were able to solo the frequencies in the Pro EQ.
Great tips Joe. I'm using this approach on a project today.
Any tips on EQ for a high pitched a style mic'd, no internal pick up, mandolin?
Thanks for all your videos I learn a lot. With the recording acoustic guitar videos I’m assuming your using a preamp. Can you talk about how the preamp makes a difference to the sound?
good one... thanks bro...
Really dig your videos.loved the eq you are using in this video,i think because it has bar graph type spectrum analyzer.i see that is a presonus plugin but i am running cubase.Do you know of any third party plugins out there similar to this that are reasonably priced?
Thanks so much Joe - this was really helpful. Can you recall roughly how far the mics were from the sound hole when you recorded this track? We seem to get a lot more energy from our acoustic guitars, and I think it's because we're getting too close in order to minimise room noise.
Also, sorry we've only just subscribed: we've learned a huge amount from your channel over the last few years and it's disgraceful that we've only just remembered to click a button
xx
Hey Joe, will the same principle apply to EQ-ing a brighter sounding guitar such as a Taylor? I see you’re using a Gibson, and even after your EQ your guitar still sounds warm. Can you show an example of a brighter sounding guitar? By the way great video, thanks!
Always joe
I use the LA2A compressor with a slight compression in busy mix and it works right
Always relevant, Joe, and doubly so today, as I have just received my J-45 this week. If you have time for a question: I always wonder how much I need to be concerned about the room. Are you recording guitar parts like that in the room we see on the screen, or do you have a cleaner sound stage somewhere? I'd love to see you demonstrate the tracking process you use to GIRATS.
That "Sorry 😬" (0:12) is so familiar... ) Thanks for the video!
thank you ..i was wondering whats going on..... great tip!
Smiley face on the eq I thought was my old way of thinking but still sounds great. Also, I just assumed everything need compression. I have been adding too many flavors to my mix and spoiling the pot I am starting to think. Thanks for this dude 👍👍 I'm on focusrite 2i2 4the gen using reaper. The last time I went live I ended up only adding reverb and removing everything else and I sounded much better. I'm trying to get that full sounding live vocal and acoustic sound.
This is super helpful. I'm mixing a project that has nearly a dozen acoustic guitar tracks. Half were done by me on a Yamaha Trans-Acoustic & a RODE mic, the other half by my friend (a recording engineer) on a very high-end Takamine. Unfortunately, he only recorded the DI (I know, really??) and you can CLEARLY hear the plastic thump of the pick thru the pizo pickup. It (more or less) disappears in the mix, but solo'd it sounds nasty. I have been desperate to fix this without asking him to re-record with a mic, and this may do the trick. Gonna try my go-to Waves F6 dynamic EQ and see if I can nail this problem. Fingers crossed :)
Thanks Joe, simplicity is always helpful. I know you mentioned finger style but just to clarify, would you say these guidelines apply equally to ‘skin on string’ finger style and especially when it’s just solo guitar/s rather than something that would be part of a larger mix?
Thanks again. 👍😎
Thank you for posting this. I have archived recordings of my solo fingerstyle guitar performances going back to 1980. I want to clean these up and make them available. I notice you're using Pro EQ with Studio One. Is that Studio One Professional (my guess) or Studio One Artist? Do you know if Pro EQ is available for SO Artist either built in or as a plug in? I don't need many tracks!
Thanks! Could you cover the same for clean electric guitar?
Merci
Hi Joe this lows (around 150) may depends whether AG is in solo (then I would say add/keep it) or it is in the whole mix (attenuate it).
Thanks Joe, curious, if you perform live, and if so, what’s your process for eq’ing live?
Thankfully I have access to a parametric eq for live setting, but need to still dial in a pleasant live tone.
👍 nice video
Your the fucking greatest man
Hi! i'm wondering if you have a song with acoustic set?
Hi Joe
useful advices !
Do you think that the final EQ Curve you obtain after correcting these tips, could be uses as a general mask (as a preset) for that guitar in that room ?
acyually I'm not as expert as you are and I can't tune that reach time I record a guitar.
Thx,
S.
Very good vid Joe Gilder. I am wondering how to apply this same principal when I next record my gorgeous Baritone acoustic. Same principal I'd imagine. Thanks so much for this. Cheers
Yup same principle, only more low-mids to wrestle
@@HomeStudioCorner Thanks. She "Barri" is likely to be found "Running around" sometime soon I suspect.
Is there anything different would you do with nylon string acoustic?
Put on a dynamic eq for that thump.
Does this apply to live performances?
does any suggestion to make it the guitar sounds clear and full on daw? im using daw Reaper.
First eq move = new strings.
Looks good. If I weren't deaf in one ear and could hear in the other I'd give you two thumbs up. 👍
Noo, that boom! Poor j45 bottom! 🤗.
No comp on acoustic... Need to think over this tip. Thank you, Joe. Cheers
Compressing an acoustic guitar works REALLY WELL if you want it to be used to supplement the percussion. But if you're just using it for flavor, as backup for electric guitar, or as a solo instrument, compression tends to ruin the emotion behind the playing. It should really only ever be used to make it more percussive. If you have a part that's too quiet, get a decent mix and then automate the volume fader. If that doesn't work, THEN use compression as a last resort. And of course, try to fix that problem in the recording stage before it becomes a mixing nightmare.
