How to record ACOUSTIC Guitar | The ULTIMATE GarageBand Beginner's Guide (Pt 17)

My mic has a 3-contour switch and a 2-switch between 0dB and -15dB, what is best for voice and acoustic guitar?

why didn't you just copy paste the same strumming pattern off-set one for about 30ms (Haas principle) and pan it left and right?

This was great thank you

how do you loop it smoothly

I cannot find the mc Meter 2 in my garageband. I tried it all...

I've never thought it would need two guitar takes (one to each side), to make sound wide. Cool.

The best tutorial ive seen all year on this topic!

Thank you Colin,
Can you please guide us about how to record harmonica on a microphone properly using garage band?
Thank you

Thank you, Colin, always illuminating. I bet you could teach us how to boil an egg and we'd learn something new and helpful.

Today I noticed the use of built in tuner in GB in your video. What a pity!

Am I the only one who can’t play to a metronome? I can play to drums but the metronome throws me off.

Putting a condenser mic on the lower bout of the acoustic can be a nice full (more warm) tone as well, if you have a more acoustic driven song. Especially if blended with another mix on the 12 fret. I’ll also take a DI signal and blend that in sometimes, can be good for more clarity on single note lines.

Thank you so much, Colin!
I like the way you explain the real basics. I learnt not shifting to one of the acoustic guitars in the ‘library selections’ may sound more natural when using a condenser mic.😊

Ahoy hoy Colin, another great episode.
..Really Helpful as all ways, ...tho I tuned in hoping to find out the Best Eq settings for Acoustic Guitar...
But that probably comes under the mixing process, rather than recording?

Keep up the Great Work.

This is a great series. Thank you very much. I just started recording for a project and have to learn all this stuff that is absolutely new to me.

Colin have you recorded acoustic guitar using mic and DI together and then mixing the two?

I find the bathroom usually sounds great. I end up sitting on the toilet to play because my bathroom is small 🤣

Question; is there a difference in recording and mixing a baritone guitar, especially in combination with a bass?

These videos are great Colin. I've been using GB for about eight years and wish I had these when I started. I've learned something in most of these videos or, at minimum, confirmed that my processes are good. Thanks! And for anyone debating whether or not to get the mixing course, yes you should!

Yes! I've been waiting for this. Thank you Colin!
