Hello, I am looking to record acoustic guitars with a set of condensers- However, I notice that the mics don't pick up much of the string attack, and most of the people I've seen playing live whose acoustic sounds I've admired have used pickups mounted in the soundhole along with micing.

I've been recording a few singer/songwriter types recently. Mostly steel string acoustic guitar and vocals. What do you use for reference recordings for this type of music when trying to listen to monitors and get a fix on the sound of a room? I've found that I don't consider some of my favorites in this genre terribly well recorded.

I just got 2 Shure sm 81 to mike overheads and acoustic insturments
whats the best for acoustic gtr as far as the switches on the top - 10 or leave at 0

Hi,

anyone own the Takamine G-Series or EG361SC?
what do you think about it:

Sound of Body?
Preamp on Board TP4T?

Will it sound like Acoustic,or more on Electronic feel?

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.

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.
