Has anyone tried doing an X-Y configuration in front and an over the shoulder mic on acoustic guitar?

I know its common to use the X-Y and I know some people use the over the should and one mic in front but has anyone used this combination with good results? Im just curios.

I have a session thursday and I'm thinking about trying this.

Hey everyone!

I have some issues with a mix that has been bothering my noodle for the last two days. After this, I will be more in line to use the audio analyzers a little more often though :lol:

I want to record my acoustic guitar with a 4 bar lick. I have Pro Tools with MBOX. The thing is I want to use the recorded sample as a loop but how do I make the sound so it doesn't just chop off after i stop playing? I want to make the last bar hit on the same beat?

A couple of questions on recording/mixing acoustic guitar. I have a session coming up in few days to record aome acoustic GTR. I will be running direct into an ISA428>MOTU 2408MKIII>Logic Platinum. That's the easy part.

Great forum - spent a long while lurking and learning a lot. Especially how to spend a lot of money on top class audio recording software. I'll stick with Cubase in the interim, thanks :oops: Anyway, to my question:

Hi there everyone, I am a student at Glasgow University in Scotland and I host an Acoustic Show on the award winning Subcity Radio.

All.

Are there any outboard EQs that are recommended specifically for acoustic guitar? I'd need two channels (stereo or twin mono).

I already have the pres I need so am looking for EQ only.

LMK.

I have a question regarding getting a stereo acoustic guitar track out with one mic. Up until now i've been doing most acoustic guitar direct in with no real problems, other than a thin sound. What I ususally do is duplicate the track bump the new track up a couple ms and hard pan left and right.

Whats up guys.

Im about to begin recording an acoustic album. It will only be 5 or 6 songs... my question is involving Micing the acoustic guitar. I have had So-So results so far, getting the sound good.

I will give you a rundown on my mics and stuff;

Chain: PreSonus Firepod, Behringer Composer Pro-XL, Aphex 204, Sonar 3 Producer.

I just got a G5 mac with Pro Tools and the Mbox. I do acoustic recordings alone. Guitar, Vocals, and a little acoustic percussion/shakers. So it's pretty simple. but I'm wondering where to go from here. can anyone recommend a good acoustic/vocal mic? I read the monitor post and I know I should get some soon as I'm using headphones.
