The Secret to Pro Acoustic Guitar Tones at Home

Following on from my last video about stepping out from "behind the glass," it’s time to get back what I do. Getting a massive acoustic guitar sound shouldn't be a mystery. Today, I'm breaking down the 3 specific miking methods I use every day at Stubert Studios to capture depth and detail. We're looking at: The 12th Fret: The classic starting point. The X-Y Method: For perfect phase and focus. The Spaced Pair: My personal go-to for that "huge" studio sound. I also run an honest comparison: Mic vs. DI. I’ve spent years being a "DI villain," but today we find out if it actually has a place in a professional mix. Hi, I'm Stuart, a professional producer, mixing & mastering engineer dedicated to helping artists like you achieve that polished, release-ready sound.
