Most classical things I've recorded were left alone, or at the most had a
touch of limiting if mixed hit...nylong string guitars are not known for
their sustain, so artificially adding it with compression will likely make
for an artificial sound...
Flying by the seat of your pants is a good thing with most guitars, anyway
- there are no rules, and nothing is really right or wrong.
Just an opinion.

I am glad you said that.
I messed around with compression settings and didnt like anything I =
heard really...
I ended up just slapping a waves L2 on it with a tiny bit of squash just =
to level it out.
I still need to EQ, delay,verb, but thats how I was going to approach =
it.... from my ear.
I just wonder if there are other techniques.

Agreed. I have recorded a bit of classical guitar in my time and compressing
it does change it for the worse, IMO. The attack is what it is all about
with classical/flamenco guitars. String noise is another natural artifact of
classical guitar (assuming that the Low E, A and D are round wound). Most
classical guitarists I've worked with were total reverb freaks, wanting to
wash the the guitar until it sounded like it was recorded in some cathedral.
If you've got a vocalist involved, beware of this or you'll get a very
unnatural soundstage unless you want the vocalist to sound like she's in a
cathedral too.

Well, throwing my two cents into the mix would involve
statements such as:
a.) Compress it if you want to - just be aware that you're also
going to increase finger noise as you do this... what used to
be a "pluck!" becomes a "sssSSSHHPING!" on the high strings,
and a "Thhwoom" on the wound strings if you're not careful.
b.) You can minimize this by compressing to track & backing off
on the mic distance a bit - that way you hear exactly what
you're going to be getting as an end result, or closer to it
than if you don't compress to track.
c.) Use long-ish plate 'verbs with some low end rolled off if
you're compressing & you want to use reverbs, it also helps to
minimize or even elminate early reflections & predelay - again
this is a finger-noise issue: if you're compressing & hence
increasing finger-noise, if you're using s 'verb with a lot of
predelay and or E/R, you're going to get little splatters &
pings everywhere that will annoy the fuck out of you.
If you haven't already recorded the instrument, try this setup:
1.) SDC aimed at the neck joint about 1.5 to two feet away from
the instrument - pointed either directly at the neck joint or
angled slightly towards the body.
2.) LDC positioned about 1.5 to two feet back from the players
right hand (assuming he's a righty), aimed essentially at the
players' right hand (again, assuming he's a righty), and about
a foot lower than the SDC... pretty much right around the
bottom line of the guitar body, but angled up a bit towards the
soundhole. This angle elimates any direct reflections off the
face of the body, thereby cutting boominess, and also allows you
to get some floor reflections (assuming you have a wood floor),
but using the LDC in this position still allows you get a get a
fuller, more focused sound. If you have a couple of pretty
accurate, not too heavily-colored mics, you can even pan them
hard L&R & EQ them as closely as possible to get a nicer stereo
effect than a "true" stereo mic setup. I've never failed to get
a great acoustic guitar sound this way, whether you're talking
nylon or bronze.

Thanks Niel.
The instruments are recorded already.
I recorded them just like you said here:
1.) SDC aimed at the neck joint about 1.5 to two feet away from
the instrument - pointed either directly at the neck joint or
angled slightly towards the body.
There is just enough low end for my liking.
We used one nylon acoustic and this guitar player loves
his Godin Midi nylon guitar. So... since it projects relatively well for
not having a sound hole I miced it with with a SDC pointed at the body of
the guitar below the right picking hand.
In hindsight I should have used a LDC, but ow well.. It sounds suprisenly
nice. It is bright , but still sounds like a nylon acoustic. I am panning
them hard left and right currently.
I will try out the verb suggestions you made.
So is EQing the tracks close to identical improve stereo image in this case
or any other? I had nver heard of that.
Very interesting.
I always thought contrast was cool. One side kinda bright and the other kinda
bassy.
Thanks,
B

Neil,
That guitar sounds nice man.
Very much what I am looking to emulate.
What kinda processing was done on it.
Just limiting,EQ,Verb?
What processors?
I like the punch it has in the low end.
It is natural but has a punch to it ...but soesn't
really sound compressed.
At least on my computer speakers.
--=20
Thanks,
Brandon=20

Like maybe THIS one....? :D
http://saqqararecords.com/MiscAudio/2B-LCclip.mp3
(recorded this around '90-'91... classical guitar comes in at
about 30 seconds in - I guess I coulda cut it down some, but
the intro's nice to listen to :) - I don't think the guys who
were in this band would mind if I posted a short clip. IIRC,
this was Fernadez classical mic'ed with a U87 & a 451 as I
described earlier. It's a hi-rez mp3 file, and if you have good
monitors you should even be able to hear some click track
headphone leakage (thanks to those crap AKG baffled cans we
were using).

Brandon - That was a long time ago, and I don't remember
specifically what kind of processing it had (and I'm a horrible
note-taker in the studio... unless it's something I'm doing
that's way out of the ordinary, I always figure I can get "that"
sound again or close enough to it just by ear, if I ever need
to). That said, if you listen to it, you can tell it's pretty
much what I outlined earier in the thread... some compression,
but not a ton, some plate-ish 'verb with the early reflections
& predelay minimized, and that's really it.

Thanks Chuckster... And, Bill, no that's not me playing, I just
engineered that one. There's a lot of tasty electric playing on
that CD too, the guy's a very clean & articulate player & his
brother - who played on it, too - is simply a monster on bass.
They were kind of a fusion band mainly, & had live drums on
most of the tunes but they used programmed drums on a couple
of 'em (like the one that the clip is from).

Here's a clip of what was a very nice recording of a classical guitar before
the musician got his hands on the SIR plugin and a Distressor.
Happens every time. Do not let the guitarist in the control room after he
plays
