What is an acoustic-electric guitar? is what i am asking

Answer
Some steel-string acoustic guitars are fitted with pickups purely as an alternative to using a separate microphone. They may also be fitted with a piezo-electric pickup under the bridge, attached to the bridge mounting plate, or with a low mass microphone (usually a condenser mic) inside the body of the guitar that will convert the vibrations in the body into electronic signals, or even combinations of these types of pickups, with an integral mixer/preamp/graphic equalizer. These are called electric acoustic guitars, and are regarded as acoustic guitars rather than electric guitars because the pickups do not produce a signal directly from the vibration of the strings, but rather from the vibration of the guitar top or body. These should not be confused with hollow body electric guitars, which have pickups of the type found on solid body electric guitars.

Answer
acoustic-electric guitars are cool, and very, very common in the music industry




its just a regular acoustic guitar, but it has a microphone built inside of it that can be transmitted to an amplifier



so yes, it will play just like an acoustic guitar. and when you do hook up to an amp, it will project the acoustic sound. it WILL NOT sound like an electric guitar, if thats what you are thinking


yes, they are very good for beginners

What's the best way to record an acoustic guitar on Audacity?

best acoustic guitar microphone image

Jaimie

We want to record acoustic guitar music using Audacity. A dynamic microphone is working pretty well for vocals, but the guitar doesn't sound good. The only equipment we have is the microphone, mic stand, and a Dean Markley pickup. Any ideas of how to get a better sound?

What is a good microphone for recording an acoustic guitar and voice onto the PC?

mellycat

I play acoustic guitar and sing and I want to buy a good microphone for recording myself. I'm not looking to make anything professional, just recordings for myself and to share with friends. I've tried using a regular desktop mic but it's not sensitive enough and usually cancels out the guitar when I'm singing. I want to record directly onto my computer.
specific product names or links to the products on websites would really help! thanks

Answer
get a shure 58a beta, its a great vocal mic and can be used for the guitar. about $100 or if you dont want to spend that much get a Shure PE588 Dynamic Microphone PE 588 about $50 ...Ok if you dont want to spend that much then just get a cheap dynamic mic off ebay but you may be frustrated and disappointed with the result. Cheap mics have a tendency to sound like you recorded through a tin can or have muffled boomy bass. So try to get a decent dynamic mic used.
Good luck with recording
