Recording Notes

• The song features a straightforward acoustic guitar arrangement. The acoustic guitar was likely recorded with a focus on capturing a natural and warm sound.
• A microphone was placed to capture the full body and brightness of the guitar.
• Some gentle compression might have been applied during mixing to ensure the guitar sat well in the mix without sounding overly processed.

Recreation Tips

• Start with a high-quality acoustic guitar like a Martin D-28.
• Use a large-diaphragm condenser microphone such as the Neumann U67 placed a foot away from the sound hole, slightly off-axis, to capture a balanced tone.
• Record in a well-treated room to avoid unwanted reflections.
• Apply gentle compression (2:1 ratio, 2-3dB gain reduction) to even out the dynamics.
• Use a touch of reverb (small room or plate) to add some warmth and depth.
