Does it qualify as direct recording?

There is no direct answer to this conundrum.

Maybe the term 'direct recording' is not so obvious and precise in today's recording technology.
What is the name of recording an acoustic guitar through a microphone directly into a tape recorder?Last edited by kris; 04-21-2022 at 04:21 AM.

Found time to do one this morning.

Guitar --> cable --> interface. Once the signal is in the DAW, you can apply amp sims, effects, etc., but technically the guitar itself was recorded "directly."
If, instead of a guitar cable connecting the guitar to the interface's input, there is a microphone capturing the guitar's sound—whether placed in front of an amp, or pointing at an acoustic, or picking up vibrations from the guitar's body—I would say this doesn't qualify as "direct recording" of a guitar signal. You can also send the line out (not speaker out....bad) of an amp "directly" to the audio interface and record the amp's signal "directly." If you know what you're doing, you can then process the amp's signal in the DAW with an impulse response and you'll have a pretty nice sounding recording without having to futz with microphone placement.Last edited by wzpgsr; 04-21-2022 at 11:01 AM.

I had a classical guitar a long time ago with a pickup mounted inside under the bridge, which was basically an excellent microphone.I "recorded directly" via the cable to the console in the studio.
It sounded very good.

Great stuff Graham - excellent tone/feel. However, I was not aware previously of your photographic prowess - some really nice work there on flicker. Of the locations, I am particularly aware of Derbyshire ( lived there for fifteen years ) and Suffolk. You have captured the 'sense of place' nicely in both locations. Evocative.

That's really interesting Graham - your photography is certainly on a par with your work with the 175! Or should that be the other way around? Thorpe Cloud was particulary resonant since we lived in Thorpe for 13 years. Aldborough was a favourite holiday venue for almost as long.
Keep up the good work. They do say by the way as I'm sure you know that every emerging British schoolboy wanted to be - Eric Clapton or................David Bailey! So, Strats and Hasselblads.

Haha thanks. To be honest I’m not one of those really serious types with expensive gear who takes all day to get a shot, I haven’t got time for that (and my wife gets impatient if I take too long when we’re out somewhere!). I just have a good compact (panasonic lumix) and I use it on auto settings (though I do understand the techy stuff, the cameras I had as a kid were all manual so my dad taught me all that stuff, also I used to help him developing and printing black and white photos in the darkroom).
I think the main thing is to know what makes a good composition looking through the viewfinder, that’s all I think about and I think I have developed that ability with experience over the years.
Maybe there is a connection with having a feel for music, I don’t know. But there have been quite a few jazz musicians who liked photography, as far as I know.

Slightly more on topic, my jazz pics may be of interest:

Worked with 5x4 Linhofs and other amazing gear over a wide range of semi-pro assignments over many years, but now comes down to....................Panasonic Lumix LX100. Amazing piece of kit. And like you Graham, my dad taught me processing in a home darkroom and all the technical stuff including the Zone System and more and you know what, like you I work in program mode or fully auto much of the time preferring to concentrate on composition.
Back to the music - your jazz images are excellent. Good point about festivals. Here in France, even Marciac and Nice are diluting definitions.
