I'd really like to hear the community's views on this difficult subject. What are you're favourite stragegies:

Spaced pair: big stereo image but big also on phase cancellation problems?
X/Y: No phase problems but unexciting and narrow stereo image?
ORTF: Happy medium?

How far away from the guitar? 6"? 12"? 18"? 24"? Angled up/down?

Working a client that does "old time" acoustic/vocals (with bass and drums but I'm mainly concerned about the acoustic/vox). Any ideas on Micing to capture that ballsy Martin sound?

Hey All --

Im about to record a piece that has some acoustic guitar in it, and i want it to sound nice and bright with barely any low end.. like most commercial tunes..

I only have a Neumann TLM 103 to mic it...

Where abouts should i place the mic to get this type of sound?

Or should i mic the middle and just EQ it afterwards?

Thanks!

Hello

Couple of quick questions here. I am about to record an acoustic guitar track, i have a couple of options and would like some opinions if i could

I know a similar post was made earlier in one of these forums, but I am curious to see what you all think is the best combination of mics and pres for a folky/early dylan (63-65) kind of vibe for recordings. The instruments being used are Harmonica, Acoustic Guitar and Voice. It would be preferred for all 3 to be recorded simultaneously (as all are played by the artist).

Gday guys and gals, just sitting here wondering what your fave acoustic guitar recorded songs/albums are, and why? I always wonder how some songs/albums are able to sound so good...What do you look for in these types of sounds? What is your ultimate or 'holy grail' sound for an acoustic guitar? how do you get them?
Cheers, just thought id bring up a sort of specific thread..

hey everybody.

Hi guys,

Im just wondering how you guys would compare the Shure PG81 to other condenser microphones in its class in terms of recording Acoustic Guitar...

This is my first post so i wanted to say hey to everybody. Anyway here's my question:

Any suggestions as to the best way to Mix Acoustic Guitar-Bongo(1 bongo) and a single vocal track.
Panning etc. .
Thanks,
