I've recorded acoustic guitar several times, I usually use a single condenser, or two pencil condensers x/y'd. But this time I'm trying to record a tune without a pick, I'm sorta just getting tone and squeeks from the fingers. if any of you guys have experience with recording soft mellow fingerpicking acoustic please share.



I'm aiming towards a sound like this:

I want to bring in a ukelele fingerpicking part but it seems as though no matter where I put the mic (I only have one) the string-plucking attack rings out very strong, resulting in a kind of percussive artifact. I've tried moving away and turning up the gain to no avail.



My setup:



Shure KSM27 Mic

M-Audio FireWire 410 Interface
