I have this Shure dynamic microphone and I want to configure it for guitar recording. How to use calibration with basic set up of the microphone? If I dont use calibration it will catch all kinds of noises and I dont want that. How to prevent this from happening? My very basic settings are related with mixers, so it records all kinds of signals. From string buzzes to amplifier. Capacitor used in my microphone is R-3 so it has certain limitations.

You have capacitor microphone which is one of the best for analog recording. I think that you need guitar microphone, because it works on entirely different principle. I am guitarist too and I know. You also need Pandora because it prevents your microphone to catch those signals. Pandora is now must-have for every guitar player, get one! Fast! Polarization of voltages also plays important role so be sure to calibrate it with your guitar. There is a great piece of software which determines which are the best settings for your frequency range. Try to find it on the internet, I got mine in the store. When you do the basic setup, be sure to place your mic close enough to your guitar. Not too close, because you will destroy original analog signal. You dont need that. And be sure that you are amplified in a proper way. Cheers!
