What is acoustic record?

In sound recording, the acoustical era is from the 1890s until 1925. During this time, all sound recordings were made by mechanical means without the use of microphones or electrical amplification.

What devices can record sound?

How do you record an acoustic instrument?

Start by placing one microphone around the 12th/14th fret and the other at the bridge pointing either at the body or towards the sound hole, 6 – 12 inches away. Adjust each mic so that they sound good on their own. When mixing the guitar sound, often each mic will be panned hard left and hard right.

What is AudioMoth used for?

AudioMoth is a low-cost, full-spectrum acoustic logger, based on the Gecko processor range from Silicon Labs. Just like its namesake the moth, AudioMoth can listen at audible frequencies, well into ultrasonic frequencies.
