I’ve read the book and recorded secrets for the small studio. In this chapter, I read how to register instruments with pickups, such as guitars, bass, and stringed instruments and the recording process. Firstly one has to consider the sound and texture of the device. Do we record through the amplifier? Guitars sound better amplified, and mic’d up rather than with a DI signal, direct inject. Something that takes away any of the sonic textures within it. This chapter also discussed maintaining this equipment and how to look after it. To consider monitoring and foldback with these instruments.
This will come in handy when I work with friends who use guitar pickups.
