away from the guitar to pick up less of the direct sound.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li><strong>Most important<\/strong>: do some test recordings, try different mics and positions, and find out what sounds best to you. \u00a0In other words: <strong>EXPERIMENT<\/strong> until you find a sound you like.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<figure id=\"attachment_515\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-515\" style=\"width: 640px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-515\" src=\"https:\/\/wooolfsounds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/amplifier-mic-700445_640.jpg\" alt=\"Mic'ing a guitar amp\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wooolfsounds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/amplifier-mic-700445_640.jpg 640w, https:\/\/wooolfsounds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/amplifier-mic-700445_640-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-515\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Mic&#8217;ing a guitar amp<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2>Getting the sound right at the source<\/h2>\n<p>Try to imagine the sound you need to complement the other instruments in the arrangement. \u00a0E.g. a thinner guitar sound, focused on a certain frequency band can be beneficial in a fuller arrangement (for example with heavy bass and drums) versus a full sound when recording just guitar + vocals.<\/p>\n<p>Compare for example the sound of a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=hGRqnNEOpe0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Queens of the Stone Age guitar part<\/a> to the guitar sound on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=y8AWFf7EAc4\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Jeff Buckley\u2019s \u2018Hallelujah\u2019<\/a>. \u00a0The former is deliberately recorded with a whole lotta gain in the mid frequencies, while the latter uses a warmer, more balanced frequency response for the guitar.<\/p>\n<p>Imagining the right sound can be a lot easier if you already have guide tracks\/demo recordings for the other instruments. \u00a0Then you can immediately check how the recordings sound in full context.<\/p>\n<p>A good rule of thumb is &#8216;record like there is no mixing process&#8217;.\u00a0 Try to get the sound right at the source.\u00a0 Use your amp&#8217;s E.Q., guitar tone control\/pickup selection, try altering mic placement in relation to your cab&#8217;s speakers, altering mic distance, move the amp near a corner for more bass, try putting it on a chair for less bass (each surface near the source adds some extra low-end).<\/p>\n<p>As for <a href=\"https:\/\/wooolfsounds.com\/index.php\/2018\/05\/18\/shape-your-sound-audio-effect-types-and-their-uses\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">effects<\/a>: minimize those in the recording process.\u00a0 If you have specific effects that you want in the final recording, record the clean signal and the wet signal separately.\u00a0 Your mixing engineer will thank you : )\u00a0 A simple delay for example is easy to add in the mix, but impossible to remove from the recorded signal if deemed too much or inappropriate.<\/p>\n<h2>Room acoustics<\/h2>\n<p>Most rooms have the shape of oblong boxes that by themselves sound very unnatural and, well, \u2018roomy\u2019. \u00a0Unless you have a professional recording studio, chances are that the acoustics will be less than optimal in your home studio.<\/p>\n<p>The room acoustics can be masked in some ways:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Use whatever you can find (mattresses, duvets, cushions, &#8230;) to dampen <strong>reflections<\/strong> between any parallel planes in your room. \u00a0The worst issues will arise where two opposite and parallel naked surfaces reflect the sound, which creates a fast &#8216;flutter&#8217; echo. \u00a0(this can be heard by standing between 2 such parallel planes and clapping your hands once).\u00a0 On top of that, certain frequencies will get boosted and others diminish.\u00a0 This results in an unnatural coloration of your recorded sound.\u00a0 Full volumes have been written on the subject of acoustics, it&#8217;s a full-blown science.\u00a0 But keep in mind that no perfect room exists and some simple steps can improve the result greatly.\u00a0 If you are interested in learning more, I can recommend <a href=\"http:\/\/www.acousticsinsider.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">this site<\/a> as a great place to start.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Positioning<\/strong> of the sound source in the room can make a huge difference. \u00a0E.g. avoid placing the amplifier close to a wall to diminish direct reflections, as these can introduce frequency response imbalances that will shape the sound in an unwelcome way.<\/li>\n<li>The room can be eliminated fully for electric guitars by using D.I. + plugins (the quality has improved much over the years, even for <a href=\"https:\/\/wooolfsounds.com\/index.php\/2018\/04\/24\/15-free-plugins-worth-your-time-and-attention\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">free plugins<\/a>).\u00a0 Hardware cabinet emulators exist to record the output of your amp head.\u00a0 Do NOT plug the (speaker) output of your amp head directly into a normal audio interface!<\/li>\n<li>D.I. means \u2018direct input\u2019, i.e. recording the electric guitar\u2019s signal as-is. \u00a0This can be achieved by plugging the guitar directly into your audio interface\u2019s instrument input. \u00a0Alternately, you can use a dedicated <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/DI_unit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">\u2018D.I. box\u2019<\/a>. This is a low-cost piece of gear that can be used to convert an instrument (or <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Line_level\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">&#8216;line-level&#8217;<\/a>) signal to a microphone-level signal. \u00a0By using this, you can use a microphone input to record your guitar signal.\u00a0 Then use a guitar amp simulator and a cab simulator software plugin to get the sound you like.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Proper guitar tuning<\/h2>\n<p>This is not always obvious to the untrained ear, but a slightly out-of-tune guitar can severely hurt the listening experience for your audience. \u00a0Even if they won\u2019t know that it\u2019s the tuning of the guitar specifically that\u2019s off, they WILL notice that something somehow doesn\u2019t sound right. \u00a0So make sure you do everything to get the tuning right before you hit &#8216;record&#8217;.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Low-budget guitars have a tendency to sound off dependent on what notes you play. \u00a0Even the playing style can influence tuning. But even on a cheap guitar and with an unconventional playing style, you can use a few techniques to get a good tuning for your recordings.\n<ul>\n<li>Use a good tuner (or even a VST plugin), that can tune any note, not just the open strings. (the strings bend a little when pressing on the fret board)<\/li>\n<li>Tune while fretting the string at fret #5, or use the part of the fret board that you will be mostly using for the recording.<\/li>\n<li>Tune part-specific: tune on attack or tail depending on long\/short notes\u00a0 When striking a note on the guitar, your tuner will show a slightly high pitch at the start of the note. \u00a0When you let it ring, the frequency will drop over time.\u00a0 That\u2019s why you should consider the part you are about to record.\u00a0 Does it have many long notes, or is it a fast part with a lot of short notes. For long notes, tune it so that the longer tail of the note is correct, for shorter notes, focus on the first part ar \u2018attack\u2019 of the note. \u00a0No need to re-tune for separate notes, just evaluate what part of the note is most prevalent in the piece you want to record.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<figure id=\"attachment_521\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-521\" style=\"width: 400px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-521\" src=\"https:\/\/wooolfsounds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/GuitarTuningGraph.jpeg\" alt=\"The frequency of a guitar note drops over time\" width=\"400\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wooolfsounds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/GuitarTuningGraph.jpeg 400w, https:\/\/wooolfsounds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/GuitarTuningGraph-300x150.jpeg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-521\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The frequency of a guitar note drops over time<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2>Guitar setup<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>New strings<\/strong>: new strings add clarity, definition and sparkle to your guitar sound. \u00a0In most cases this is preferred for recording.\u00a0 But sometimes the duller, softer sound of older strings can be preferred for certain parts.\u00a0 Leave some time between changing strings and recording, as new strings tend to de-tune quickly while still &#8216;settling&#8217;.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Choice of picks<\/strong>: try out different thickness and materials.\u00a0 Also select a different pick based on the type of guitar part you want to record.\u00a0 It matters more to the final sound of the guitar than you might suspect.<\/li>\n<li><strong>String action<\/strong>: this is the distance between the strings and the fretboard.\u00a0 Too much action and the strings will detune more over the fretboard.\u00a0 Too little action and &#8216;buzzing&#8217; will start to occur when the strings vibrate against adjacent frets.\u00a0 Your playing style will also determine what action range is best for you.\u00a0 A softer, gentler playing style allows for a smaller action with less chance of buzzing occurring.\u00a0 (Setting up a guitar is beyond the scope of this article.\u00a0 If you want to know more you can check <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/Set-Up-a-Guitar\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">this Wikihow article<\/a>.)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Conclusion<\/h2>\n<p>This is by no means a complete list of guitar recording techniques.\u00a0 But now you know some of the basics for recording your guitar sound properly. \u00a0Thus you will avoid some of the common pitfalls when recording guitars at home.<\/p>\n<p>Any questions, suggestions or other feedback?\u00a0 Leave your comment below or drop me an <a href=\"mailto:\/\/wooolfsounds@gmail.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">email<\/a>.\u00a0 Till next time!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Recording a guitar might seem difficult (and in a sense it is).\u00a0 But if you use this set of basic checks, you can greatly improve your results.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":524,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[20],"tags":[22,21],"class_list":["post-506","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-recording","tag-guitar","tag-recording"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.2 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Tips for recording guitar at home - Wooolf Sounds music - mixing and mastering<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Do you play the guitar?
