Recorded Engineering | No Comments

Ask five engineers how they approach recording acoustic guitar, and you may very well get five different answers, if you get any at all, that is. While many factors influence an engineer’s choice of recording techniques — the character of the instrument, the style of music, the player’s personal tonal and dynamic signature, and the recording environment — some engineers prefer to keep their approaches a trade secret.
