Good Morning and Happy New Year all.

I was wondering if anyone has any tips for mixing a nylon string guitar? I recorded a song of mine using two mics - (both condensers) one at 12th fret and the other at bridge. Got a great sound while tracking.

I just CAN'T get a good acoustic guitar sound.. please help!

My signal chain:

Shure KSM44 mic -->
Universal Audio SOLO/610 preamp -->
Apogee Duet -->
MacBook Pro -->
Logic Pro 9

Hi everyone. I'm hoping to get some good advice in upgrading my home recording gear to accomplish better quality results. Let me describe what I've been doing and then please advise me with some good opinions on my best next step. I'm a fingerstyle guitarist doing all instrumental tracks. Main guitar is a Taylor 714ce, I've been recording into a Tascam DP01FX lately with fair results.

So from a recent project I came to the conclusion that my recording front end is a bit weak gain wise. I am using the PreSonus FireBox which is a two channel device. This means that I either have to buy a two channel preamp with lots of gain to boost the signal before it hits the converter or save up for an upgrade converter. I could also build a preamp though, if it isn't terribly hard.

I'm looking to mic a jumbo body acoustic guitar. My initial thought was to use a large diaphragm condenser near the sound hole and put a dynamic on the fingerboard.

I've recorded acoustic guitar several times, I usually use a single condenser, or two pencil condensers x/y'd. But this time I'm trying to record a tune without a pick, I'm sorta just getting tone and squeeks from the fingers. if any of you guys have experience with recording soft mellow fingerpicking acoustic please share.

I'm aiming towards a sound like this:

I want to record some of my songs using only my ukulele and voice.

I am undecided on if I should track them separately or at the same time.
My musical ability would be better suited to tracking, but I would like to be able to perform them live one day so it would be good if I used this to force myself learn to play and sing at the same time.

Ok,

Here is the link to the song,

The vocals in the beginning are only for reference.

I have gotten the lead and vocals sounding great (IMHO) but the rhythm guitar just isn't clear.

I want those clear treble highs. Is there anything I can do EQ wise to bring them out more?

HIYA guys. Hope you dont mind but I'm gonna hijack your forum for a minute. .Jeremy, Joe...this is for ya'll.

I'm not sure if this is in the right place and I am terribly sorry if it is not.

I want to be a musician... plain and simple. I'm into all kinds of music ranging from classical to hardcore punk. But what I truely love to play is acoustic.
