Is it possible or common for a sound engineer or producer, during a studio guitar performance, to capture some of the strings on one side while the rest of the strings are captured on the other side?

For example do we ever hear something like… EADG being plucked on the left while BE are being plucked on the right, from a single performance?

Absolutely. Frank Zappa was doing this in the 70's but with routed pickups. Here is an example with an acoustic-electric he was fond of:



In concert, he would split his guitar between a Pignose and a Marhsall with slight delay and then mix them in stereo later:

Tom Waits talked about hitchhiking when he was still a folk singer and getting a ride from Eden Ahbez, the composer of Nature Boy. I started reading about him and ended up watching a Nat King Cole documentary from youtube where I learned that Nat recorded three albums in Spanish, but didn't actually speak the language. To quote his friend: "He learned Spanish phonetically, he didn't know what the hell he was talking about"

Nice

In!

So this is only available on Paramount+, which isn't available here.

I am big sad. Kind of want to support this in hopes that there'll be a second season.

I've got first world problems out the ass, fellas.

On "It Was a Very Good Year," when Frank Sinatra is recounting how good his 35th year was, it always makes me laugh how he pronounces the word "kegs."

"From fine old... kKEGS!"

I think I have a pretty high tolerance when it comes to different types of music, but I absolutely hate the kind of acapella music where they imitate the instruments or they make these stupid dum dum dum sounds. I wanna cut my ears off when I hear that stuff Here's one example:

Kinda seems like a fusion of barbershop quartet and looped beatboxing. There's a lot worse music out there!

Still not as bad as the acapella stuff.

It really is one of the worst forms of music.

You know what's better than a goofy tall guy in the back making some approximation of the sounds of a bass guitar? A BASS GUITAR!

Hahaha the acapella bum-bum-bum mouth sounds suck

[Ello Sailor]

Bunch of haters in here. #justiceforbumbummouth

I mean there's definitely a novelty appeal for me in seeing how these instrumental parts get "translated" to the human voice but it's not something I can bear to listen to for long

I'm sure someone here once admitted to being a huge fan of Pentatonix

[Farmer John]

"The Longest Time" is a banger.
