How can I get that highend pick clicking noise on my acoustic guitar recordings? You know, like on Peace Train by Cat Stevens. Most people probably try to get rid of it, but I think it can be kinda cool sometimes. Maybe a stereo signal with a Pultec on one channel?

I am considering biting the bullet and getting a matched pair of KM 184's for when I record acoustic guitar. The price tag is a little high so I'm wondering if anyone has had good results with a cheaper pair of mics.

Check out our website at http://www.eightnotch.com and let us know the best way to level out the two songs (mp3s). Our levels are completely messed up and we need help. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. e-mail to eightnotchrock@aol.com.

Pick noise is a problem that I have been dealing with off and on for a long time. I realize that some pick noise adds character and realism to the sound, but I am talking about *excessive* pick noise here.

I'm tired of recording crappy acoustics and have decided to take the plunge and get a decent guitar for the studio. I've been impressed with Collings C10 deluxe and Dreadnoughts (thanks Ted!) Santa Cruz D/PW, and Huss and Dalton MJC.

The best way to make the Ac. guitar to sound brighter. To play 2 times and then L/R? Or to record it stereo? any Tricks/Opinions?

Recording an acoustic gtr (Takamine) w/capo that has a healthy string buzz and pick noise. The player wants stereo image and an intimate, close-mic sound. I'm having trouble finding a spot that's not accentuating pick noise or string buzz. I tried every mic set up I could think of. I'm using a pair of MK102 but I tried SR77's and a Brauner Valvet/Dragonfly combo as well with no luck.

Mic choices for recording an acoustic guitar? Maybe your top 2 favorites

I'm still not satisfied with the acoustic guitar sounds I've been able to capture. How do you guys get a nice "primary" guitar take, with some stereo presence to it, while avoiding boominess and phasing problems?

FYI, I'm doing a lot of R&B records where guys are asking for a very forward, present guitar sound... "like the Craig DAvid record" or "like the Babyface record".

...to the board, or analog audio microphone direct to the board? Pros and Cons? Suggestions?
I will be recording a blues medly with acoustic guitar and a single voice. By the nature of the song, the medley is better played and sung simultaneously than overdubbed, and I need not be concerned with the physical placement or presence of an additional mike.
