How To Record Acoustic Guitar - Mic Placement

In this microlecture, we look at a technique for recording an acoustic guitar in stereo. Of primary importance is the choice and placement of the microphones, and we look at how the microphone can act like an equaliser. Adjusting the distance between the mic and the sound source, you can really change your sound for the better. This microlecture is best listened to with headphones.

Audio @ Aim
The Bachelor of Music (Audio Technology) is a thorough and complete study of sound engineering and music technology. Throughout all stages of the course students are taught theoretical concepts which are supported with practical audio classes. Students will learn to collaborate with other other AIM students including composers, musicians, performers and actors to complete major projects. Students have access to our state of the art recording studios to complete their assessments. They also have opportunities to work on the many additional recording projects such as the Best of AIM CD which is produced each year. Students further their musical knowledge and skills with practical and theoretical units. Students who want to focus on technical production skills should choose the Audio Major. Associate study options enable all audio students to either specialise or broaden their study program.
