Recording Notes

• The acoustic guitar was likely recorded in a well-treated room to capture a clear, balanced sound.
• Mic placement would have been crucial to capture the warmth and detail of the Gibson J-45.
• Compression was applied subtly to even out the dynamics and provide a consistent level.

Recreation Tips

• Start with a high-quality acoustic guitar, preferably a Gibson J-45 or similar model.
• Use a large-diaphragm condenser microphone like the Neumann U87 positioned a foot or two away from the guitar.
• Apply gentle compression using a Teletronix LA-2A or similar compressor plugin to smooth out the dynamics without squashing the sound.
• Adjust EQ to taste, focusing on the low-mid frequencies to add warmth and body.
