No matter what pre-amp or EQ you try to polish it with.
It's simply a neccesary evil of Live Sound.
Any reason for not wanting to mic. it? |
Currently, I do mic acoustic gtrs when I track someone else. I would like to track myself. There's no way for me to record myself going back and forth from the studio to the control room and still maintain the exact mic placement. That's why I figured, direct would probably be a good solution. The direct method was suggested to me by someone who used to work at or record at the Chocolate Factory (R. Kelly) and they run all thier gtrs direct. Or so they say.
Thanks for all the posts, thus far. i'm continuing the research but so far, you guys got me a little nervous about attempting to do this. If it's going to sound like crap...well that's just unacceptable.
Also, what guitar brands and models should I look at for either direct or micing. $500 range. Like I said, I'm out of the loop and there are more choices out their than Kool-Aid flavors.
