This is a video tutorial created by the teacher Facundo Suárez for the workshops of the Municipal School of Music of San Martín, on the occasion of the temporary suspension of classes due to the protoloco of the CORONAVIRUS.
Through this means, the teacher will share theoretical / practical material so that they can study until the return to face-to-face classes is decided.

Hello! How are you?
Today I'm going to show you how I usually record my Ukulele in the studio.
I usually record my ukulele by pointing the mic at the fret where the
neck meets the soundboard.
I have heard that some engineers, in English, call it "where the fret meet the neck".
Sometimes, this technique is informally called “the 12th fret technique”
but sometimes that can be confusing because sometimes it is not exactly at the 12th fret
where certain instruments like the ukulele or guitar have that point.
That is why it is not correct call it "the 12th fret technique".
However, in the jargon, it is usually understood what we mean,
and, particularly in my Ukulele, that point is exactly on the 12th fret,
but I clarify that because sometimes does not happen.
Also, I usually record my ukulele per line at the same time;
I connect a plug cable to my ukulele, which is electro-acoustic,
and in this case, before we get to the sound card,
we pass it through this tube preamp.
In the DAW, and now I am speaking not of "recording" itself, but rather of "editing",
I mix the two signals together by regulating their volume,
equalizing and placing the compressors, reverb effects, delay, etc.
Sometimes I usually record two different takes for the same song.
Then, I pan those takes (two to the left and two to the right)
In those cases, I have to pay special attention to play the song in the exactly same way,
in the most exactly way possible, so that the effect is used well.
I do this because, sometimes,
doubling shots and panning them creates a feeling of more space.
I want to clarify that this is not the only way to record a ukulele, and even,
it is not the only way in which I do it.
There are occasions where we only record the ukulele per line,
or perhaps we only record it using a microphone.
Other times we even use more than one microphone.
There are many different recording techniques and I recommend you to do tests
to realize what is the best way in which you obtain the best sound
based on the type of instrument you have,
and even, sometimes, the style of music you're playing .
If you want to find a good position for the microphone, you
can try covering one of your ears with one hand
and listening to the ukulele from different angles
with the other ear until you find the sound you want to record,
keeping in mind questions like
Do I want more body or less body?
Do I want more sound from the room or more from the source?
Record your ukulele in different positions
and decide which one is best for what you are looking for.
I recommend that you take care that the instrument you are going to record is in good condition,
calibrated, with quality strings, and ideally new.
Many people say that best is to change them the day before of the recording session
so that the instrument sounds brighter and has a better tone,
Although, it will always depend on your interest and the type of sound you are looking for.
I hope these tips have helped you.
