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.

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:

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.

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.

I recorded acoustic guitars for a song that had just guitars and vocals. A very nice simple melody. In stereo, AB spaced pair. (one at the bridge, anled a little down, the other at bout the 10th fret)

I've been reading and doing research, but still can't decide on what acoustic guitar mic to get with a budget of $500 - $800.

What is the most precise mic in this range that will make you feel like you are almost in the room with the guitar?

Has anyone heard anything about Schoeps mics? If so, please elaborate on experience.

My next stage in upgrading my DAW system is to purchase some plugins. I plan mainly to record vocals and acoustic guitar. I'm not lookin' for anything fancy - a nice natural reverb / delay, a compressor and EQ.

I've thought about TC Powercore, UAD1 and a Wavesbundle.

Can anyone give me their opinion?

Cheers!

Hi all, this is my first post here so bear with my if some of my questions are dumb. I'm going to be recording a female singer+songwriter+acoustic guitarist in a couple of weeks and I need some help deciding which mic to use.
