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

Hi all.

I noticed some nice talk about frequency carving here and have a question.

hello, I have written music for awhile in the pop/rock format and would like to finally record them all and be done with them so to speak. I was hoping there was some way to record all the guitar and bass tracks to all the songs ( around 100 songs ) through direct input and then allow my voice to get stronger over the next year or so before doing the vocals.

hello all.

i feel like a dweeb for asking, but all the many methods i've tried for this in the past have given me only limited success:

i'm tracking this weekend a rock band, and the singer / acoustic guitar player will be playing along with the band while we track drums (at least that's my focus.

I want to make my guitar sound better andlokking for new ways of or Mic-positions.I use SM57(Down) and MD 421 (Up) just normal positions

Hi I'm new in this forum and I wanted to know if you can seek advice a good mic technique for electric guitars so much clean as distorted.
I should record a guitarist (I am used Steve Vai) and I would like you to advise me that mics to use for the recording (1 or 2 mics) and that mics position should use.
Also some mix tricks for the guitars

I am planning to upgrade my signal chain for recording electric guitar. Couple of questions...and yes, I too am awaiting the RMMP...

What is the best mike for Micing a cabinet? I have using SM57's for awhile. They sound ok, but I guess I want something different. My preamp does need to be upgraded and I am currently using the RNC.

I'm looking for mics for my home recording setup. I want to do 2 things - record acoustic guitar duets with a modestly-priced matched pair, and record casual jams with whomever is in the room - acoustic guitar, mando, drums, amplified guitar or bass, etc. I'm looking at the Studio Projects C1 or C3 for the matched pair, and the AT4033 or 4050 for the room mic.

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".

If you have a song with a lot of different guitar parts that need taming to blend together better, would it make any sense to put them all into a sub-group and use one main compressor on them all, or would you treat them all separately?
