I have a very simple and quick question.
It is beyond me -- how guitarists get such a clean/perfect sound out of their recordings (just when PLAYING as well). When I play, it seems that there is so much string noise and little 'bumps' in the recordings. Like... you can hear it in the recording if you just so happen to 'tap' the guitar body. String noise is a big problem for me. It's handling the guitar in general that makes noise -- it's very sensitive.
I've seen guitarists record video tracks of themselves and they're doing all of this shredding/tapping stuff, and not a SINGLE string is ringing out when they're doing this, nor any noise from when they readjust the position of the guitar or their hands on the guitar.
I'm almost sure of it that this has to do with their setup and not their playing itself. You can only go so far with making sure you're clean and don't cause any excess noise from the guitar. Maybe some kind of compression/limiting/noise suppressing/etc is going on here?
It seems that I can set my guitar down (with it still on) and fart from 15 feet away and I can hear it in the guitar.
