When You Need Someone (acoustic guitars)
Budget: $30 – $250 USD
I am looking for a professional session acoustic guitarist to record an acoustic guitar part using an Epiphone Texan 64. The recording will take place in a home studio and require a Coles 4038 classic studio ribbon microphone and a Neumann KM-54 (small diaphragm condenser).
Key Details:
- Guitar: Primarily, the Epiphone Texan 64 will be used for the recording.
- Record using the microphones: Coles 4038, Neumann KM-54
- Microphone Placement: The microphones must be placed near the 12th fret of the guitar to capture the detail and attack of the strings while minimizing excessive low-end.
- Stereo Recording: When recording in stereo, you'll use both microphones to capture the acoustic guitar in a way that creates a sense of space, depth, and dimension.
- Reference: The sound should be similar to "Slow Burn" by Kacey Musgraves.
Post-Production:
- Reverb: I prefer added reverb in post-production to enhance the sound.
Ideal Skills and Experience:
- Extensive experience in recording acoustic guitar for Country songs.
- Proficient with Coles 4038 and Neumann KM-54 microphones.
- Strum on acoustic guitars using their thumb.
- Ability to create a wide, immersive stereo image.
- Skilled in post-production audio engineering, particularly with adding reverb.
