microphones to record vocals and Acoustic guitars
Hello everbody again. In the process of building my home studio, I'm into buying a good mic. I was into the AKG C 4000 B which cost 420 Euros. I run into the Neumann TLM 102, which cost 590 Euros, with the spider elastic suspension in the case just like the AKG.
Acoustic Guitar- finger noise
I recorded some acoustic and got a great result other than that high pitched string noise while sliding between some chords. It only happens in a few spots and I'd hate to record the track again. Any quick fixes?

Help mic-ing an acoustic guitar.
I have an acoustic guitar, and I'm playing a riff which consists of chords with hammer-ons and pull-offs. I have a perception 420 mic, it's not the greatest, but I can get a decent sound out of it. I also use my PreSonus channel mixer as a pre-amp, since it has a tube overdrive function. My question is, how can I get the hammer-ons and pull-offs to stand out from the the rest of the riff?

Recording a percussive acoustic guitar
I am currently recording my own songs in my home studio. I play finger style acoustic with some rhythmic slapping with my thumb. So my guitar tracks have an obvious slapping sound throughout. It sounds cool on an acoustic recording but i am worried that when the song is fully produced (drums and all) it will just sound like noise.

New respect for the mobile acoustic engineers
Well never think you've got it all under control until you've at least tried recording a choir with a full house and no practice run. One shot to erect a stand, line your mics up and get it right gives me a new respect for these mobile engineers around here.

Recording Vocals with an Acoustic Guitar
Being primarily a solo artist I do my best singing while playing the Acoustic guitar. This creates a problem when I record as my Vocal track picks up artifacts from my guitar. In an effort to get as CLEAN a vocal track as possible I have tried Noise Gates, EQ and any other method I could think of to reduce the guitar in the vocal track.

[Cubase 5/Plugins] Acoustic Recording Question [To Mic Or Not To Mic]
Hey everyone quick question. If using Cubase 5 what plugins do you normally use to record acoustic guitar (This is my first time with acoustic). Also, would you suggest running the guitar straight from a mixing board to an audio interface, or Micing it? If you suggest Micing where do you normally place your condensers?
