Ramci Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 What mixing does the guitar have in the beginning of Gallows Pole? It sounds oddly distant and thin. I'm sure somebody of you knows about this! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pop Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 I would guess that he is sitting a little further away from the microphone while he is playing the acoustic. He always experimented a lot with mic placement where more musicians would usuallyjust get as close to the mic as they could. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mountain Hopper Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 Yea, it always sounded like an echo to me. Probably was further away from the mic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramci Posted April 19, 2008 Author Share Posted April 19, 2008 Hey, thanks for replies. Yeah, now that i thought about it, i guess a different mic placing would be logical for Jimmy. Thanks for help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evster2012 Posted April 19, 2008 Share Posted April 19, 2008 I can't find the interview at the moment, but my understanding is that for Zeppelin III, Jimmy had a condenser mic in the guitar. Just shoved it into the soundhole and got on with it. I'm fairly certain what you're describing was done at the board. I don't think the whole mic placement thing applies to his acoustic guitar on the albums. I'm pretty sure that was all very straightforward.

That was standard practice back in the day, so thats prolly right. The mic placement thing is more for the electric playin. I think it's a little equalization trick. To do the same kinda thing, switch around and listen to all the eq defaults in whatever media player you use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evster2012 Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 ^^Yeah, EQ and some echo. That's my guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
