Hey all,

I've been digging this new forum Index! Thanks for all the great info so far, and keep it up!

Was just wondering what some of the fave mics and Micing techniqus are for recording solo classical guitar.

Hey, I'm thinking of getting better preamps.

I'd like to use them to record nylon string guitar both classical stuff and pop/jazz, but I'd also like them to be as "all purpose" as things can be ranging from vocals to drums from the aforementioned classical to alt.rock or blues rock or trippy acid rock a la Jefferson Airplane or popressive pop stuff.

Hi, my name is Reza. I have been recently helping my father’s interest to make a solo classical-guitar album. Unlike the common solo classical-guitar recording which contains only classical songs, this album will contains many kinds of music style. Still they are included but just a few. There are many kinds of genre here, including Jazz, Pop, Flamenco, Country, R&B, and more.

Hi everybody.

I have been recording loads of people at home and learning a lot through this wonderfull site,thanks to you guys...

I noticed that recording a finger-style nylon string guitar performance into an arrangement (comping,soloing) it`s not all that hard (since the guitar player can play of course...),but when it`s a guitar only thing the madness begins...

Just heard the Royer Labs demo CD, and I must say that the Schoeps 221B mic sounded SWEET on classical guitar! I couldn't find it for sale anywhere (I guess cause it's old), but on the Schoeps website directxfiles.com, it said that they have a NEW "improved" version called the M 222 B. Does it really sound as good as the 221?

I have an Alesis board, Alesis AI3 Converters, 2 SM57s, 1 AKG 3000b, an AKG 590S dynamic, a Audio-Technica MB4000C condensor, 2 Radio Shack dynamic omnis (made by Shure) and a waiting client. I have never recorded classical guitar before and would like to know what others have tried on such a low budget.
