Hi All,

I was hoping you could help me to get some information from your experience regarding recording v-drums in an album...

Hi, first post here at recording.org

I am looking to extend my microphone collection, specifically I want to build up a good kit for acoustic strings, winds and percussions (mostly ethnic instruments).

Hey guys, I'm about to start a session with an acoustic guitar musician (mostly strumming emo stuff). I'm looking to find some advanced Micing techniques. I have seen a few dvd's of instudio footage where the engineer has placed the following setup: pencil facing the sound hole, large diaphragm facing the neck, then two large diaphragms on each side of the guitar.

I have a balladeer special with an OP30 preamp. I've heard ovations our great in the studio and was wondering do most people record these guitars directly or a combination of being mic'd and direct?

Thanks, andrew

Stupid and silly question. Any ideas on miking/pick up an acoustic guitar? A standard western type. Should be useful for live applications too. A dry, neutral sound is what I have in mind. Not too bothered with the low freqs. Models and users opinions are welcome. Built in/pick up/transducer/combi. Whatever you may use/have used...

Ok, so my parents went to Peru for a while and brought me back this beautiful acoustic guitar made by a small Peruvian shop called Effo Guitars. Upon first playing this acoustic, it sounded great and was very easy to play. However, it had ridiculously light gauged strings on it, which are not suitable for the style of music that I play.

Hi, I'm looking for an acoustic guitar mic, i think it should be a small condesor mic ? not sure though.. looking for it to be £100-($180ish)
anybody have any suggestions ?

Thanks alot

I find that my vocal range tends to work better when I tune my guitar down one full step from standard and start writing songs from here.

Obvioulsy, I'm worried about tuning issues and lack of string tension when I go to record.

Is there a possible way of making a guitar tuned down a full step have the same tension as strings tuned to standard pitch?
