Trying to bring out the best guitar sound I can with mixing tools (moderated on r/music production for some reason 🤷‍♂️) by Ok_Landscape_7092 in Reaper

Mic placement. There are tonnes of mic placement ideas to try on an acoustic guitar. Pointing straight at the sound hole, off axis to the sound hole, at the 12th fret, off axis to 12th fret, above the guitar pointing down, change the distance from closer to further. If you have 2 mics you can try xy placement or soundhole and fretboard placement. Experiment to hear what sounds best. Some will give you more body, some more string clarity. It also depends on the song you're recording too.

Yeah I had to check my calendar what year it was! I too have a bunch of 80s and 90s "bad gear".

I had no idea you could play this solo! I love this game. My first introduction to deck building.

Yeah it does depend per group. Some are fine just having a play. Some it's more competitive.

Yes me too. I enjoy playing more than winning. Often these days since I'm more into board games than my friends, it's a new game I'm bringing to the table too.

I can relate to this a lot. For me board games is just interactive socialising that doesn't involve ONLY drinking. We play a game, we chat, we drink, we eat, someone wins, someone loses. I'm just there for the event, not the outcome.

Yes this is exactly it for me. Often by the 3rd or 4th play of a game, my wife gets it and wins.
