    Not sure if you have ever seen it Christian but to phase align dialogue theres a very commonly used plugin called auto align post - there’s a version for musos too its by a company called sound radix. Takes the hassle out of phase alignment- particularly if the player / actor is moving around slightly. You just click a couple of buttons and it just fixes everything.

      Yes, I believe the attempted phase alignment done here will not be effective at all as the guitar is moving. AAP is very expensive but nothing else does what it does to my knowledge.

    • @petestyles8911
      @petestyles8911 7 หลายเดือนก่อน

      It should totally fine, the mic's are not moving so the relationship of the sound hitting each mic will be constant even when the guitar moves. AAP is working the way you describe as the mics on set are moving. The radio mics on actors and the multiple booms are moving so there is no constant. The way Christian is doing it will work. Also a note when using AA for phase. You may not actually want perfect phase on guitar especially with a guitar cab. You can use the phase to remove unwanted frequencies where as AA will just put it 100% in phase and might actually emphasise bits you dont want@@JamesClark1991

      Yep, Auto Align is a game changer. Phase correlation is so important and it does all the work for you. A bit on the costly side but well worth the expensive, time is money and this thing saves the user an absurd amount of time.

      @@TheCrowHillCo Very cool, and always great to discover new things. :)
      She's the singer in the band Portishead, and released her very first solo material just last week - sublime as always.
      She recorded a collaborative album some 20+ years ago with Rustin Man (from the band Talk Talk), entitled "Out of Season", which truly oozes vibe and humanity.
      One standout track - to me, anyway - is Spider Monkey, but the entire album is just gorgeous.
      On a side-note, one of the founding members of Portishead, Geoff Barrow, currently plays drums in the band "BEAK", and they're utterly phenomenal.
      If you're a fan of Krautrock bands like CAN, NEU!, Cluster, etc, you might really like it.
      Happy listening :)

    A very popular clip-on guitar mic, mainly for live use, resembling the Neumann KK 14, is the DPA 4099 CORE. If you'd just like to experiment with a mic of this type without spending at the Neumann or DPA level, Heimu makes an inexpensive clip-on mic for guitar. It's definitely usable, but having done a shoot-out between the Heimu, an AT 831 lav mic (which AT sold for guitar use), and the DPA, the DPA really sounds better.

    Nice take with the clip-on mic.
    I would try getting the large diaphragms a bit further away and maybe focus more on the neck to avoid that low-mid rumble.
    Also worth trying a dynamic eq which can be really good at pinpointing just those frequencies you need to temper a bit.

  • @Relayer6a
    @Relayer6a 7 หลายเดือนก่อน

    I think there was cancellation going on before you time aligned them. The compression helped with removing some of the thudding sound. That's what I really found the most distracting before you corrected it. There is still some "muddiness" on the left channel IMO. And I'm not talking about the guitar resonance. Although it could be that needing to be drawn down a bit. The clip mic, probably because of it's placement so close to the strings, had an almost piezo tone to it.

    Hi, what kind of noice isolation does the clip on mic have, can it block out say the number 94 bus? Ok, that might be too specific, but outside traffic? Room noice? Maybe a quiet vocal while playing?

    • @TheCrowHillCo
      @TheCrowHillCo  8 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Imagine a harp or piano in front of a mic, the sound of these instruments engulfs the mic forcing out any knowledge of outside interference. This is why the clip works so well, its so close to the guitar and the guitar is comparatively huge that very little else can get in.

      PZM = Pressure Zone Microphone -- for acoustic guitar, I would usually throw up a 414 *and* a PZM on separate channels, then combine to taste-- PZM was the Swiss Army knife of mic's; they sounded good/very transparent on virtually everything, even vocals

    An interesting comparison between the mic clip on the instrument body vs mounted on a stand, would be very informative imo.
    Something about the sound captured by the mic clipped on to the body was not appealing.
    A direct comparison with the dPA would be quite informative as well.

    In my youth I thought being a musician was about playing musical instruments but for quite a while it's become more like a carpenter building a house. All this attention on which type of nail, what length of nail, which types of boards, which dimensions of boards, what lengths of board, how many nails, how many screws and types of screws and lengths of screws, thicknesses of drywall, type of paint, how many coats of paint...you get what I'm saying. While something has been gained by all this technicality (the results prove that) I think something has also become lost. It's all turned into a job instead of just having fun.

Haven't looked into it yet. For the most part what I make musically is not like what is heard on radio, etc. I did 5 years of college in the early 1970's as a music composer major but got more interested in synthesizer-type stuff than the classical stuff I was taught. Could never afford them but have a couple dozen now on my computer. Times really change. The main thing with me is I don't like to make music that sounds like or is constructed like music I've heard before. As far as guitars go I've recently become very interested in the various modes and tunings. I've been studying these on TH-cam and taking tons of notes in preparation for a few months of experimenting and recording. A word of advice for everybody: your job is how you pay rent and eat.
