Where's that cheap-o frequency I was talking about yesterday?

Yesterday I talked about the "cheap-o" frequency that plagues acoustic guitar players.

It's that frequency that makes the guitar sound like you just picked it up at the clearance aisle at Walmart.

However, what I failed to tell you was where that frequency is!

How stupid of me.

When an acoustic guitar sounds a bit tinny and the strings of the guitar are sounding a bit too "wire-y," then I tend to start hunting around in the 800 Hz area.

I was too wrapped up in talking about how annoying that frequency is that I completely forgot how to help you fix the problem!

Of course, not everyone is mixing acoustic guitars all the time. I tend to mix a lot of them because I do a lot of singer/songwriter and indie folk stuff.

If you're mixing different music and need genre-specific advice, I highly recommend checking out some of the Mixthru videos over at The Pro Audio Files.

That's all today. Apologies again for the mixup yesterday.

Have a great rest of your Tuesday!
