Mixing techniques using Universal Audio's API Vision Channel Strip and Ocean Way Studios reverb.
Even if you have the most basic recording setup: a single dynamic mic, you can get a great acoustic guitar sound with these techniques!
This is the mic used in the video:
Shure SM57 Instrument/Vocal Mic: amzn.to/2hU277O
Get the guitar: amzn.to/2juNjgv
Recommended stereo pairs:
Rode M5 matched pair (use for stereo mic'ing instruments like acoustic guitars, pianos, strings): amzn.to/2iTcxWq
Rode NT5 matched pair (same uses as above, but better quality; these sound AMAZING): amzn.to/2zpX5av
Any questions about recording or mixing acoustic guitars, just ask in the comments. :)
