Picked Acoustic: Features
The clear tone of a Martin 00-21 has been the selected favorite of many famous artists. For example, Elvis Presley and Bob Dylan featured it in various hit records. For this reason, Picked Acoustic has captured the rich tone of this guitar, which is very melodic and great for fingerpicked styles. Like we said before, a session veteran captured its amazing sound by using three distinctive setups. As a result, this plugin versatile and adaptable for your production needs.
Firstly, the initial setup comprises two condenser (AB) microphones that capture a natural and contemporary stereo sounding image. Next, the second set up emerged from using a vintage dynamic mic enhanced with a tube condenser in a figure of eight modes. Therefore, it gives a rock and folk sound of the 70s. Lastly, experts made the third mic arrangement by guiding two ribbon (Blumlein) mics that are characteristic of a rich vintage and warm sound.
In conclusion, the Picked Acoustic plugin makes it easy for you to adjust various parameters to modify the sound you have in your head to your music compositions. In other words, it gives you the flexibility to carefully craft the guitar sound that you have been longing for. Choosing from a huge variety of picked rhythms, arpeggios, and patterns in various musical styles, this plugin gives you the freedom to start instantly.
