Hey everyone, it's almost summertime which means more recording time for me.
I have:
Firepod, SM57, SM58, AT2020
I play:
Mostly acoustic with vocals - I want to be able to sing and play at the same time and have it come out really nice. I generally use the SM57 / 58 for electric guitar.
1) What are some good acoustic setups? I was thinking one NT1-A or NT2-A on the acoustic, maybe the SM57 / 58 to pick up some room ambience, and the AT2020 on the vocals.
2) Also, is the difference between the NT1-A and NT2-A worth the price?
3) Should I get a matched pair of NT1-A's, a single NT1-A, or an NT2-A?

Thanks, I went ahead and ordered the NT2-A. I found it brand new on ebay for $330 compared to $400 on all of the other major sites. I'm pumped! Do you think I will see a big difference in sound quality even though I'm only using a firepod? Is there any other difference between the firepod and mixing boards other than the fact that on a mixer you can EQ pre-recording?

In your case possibly yes: the switchable patterns of the NT2A would allow you to use a figure-8 pattern for better isolation between guitar and vocals. The NT1A is fixed cardioid so that would not be an option.
