I have a Breedlove C25/CR and want to record a few songs. Just wondering what a good mic would be to do this.

I've experimented with my Shure 57 and MXL 990 with various mic placements, but can't seem to get a "hot" enough track without distorting. I'm also having problems with keeping a steady volume level with the dynamics of my playing.

I have a basic question about recording acoustic guitar.

I have a Digi 003 Rack, MXL 990 compressor mic, and Shure 57 dynamic mic, and a newly acquired Breedlove C25/CR.

Of course the answer is "it depends" or "whatever sounds good", but I'm wondering what some good starting points are for mic placement and setup.

Hi,

i'm looking for a $300 acoustic-electric guitar for live performance! Music type: pop rock. Any recommendation out there ? Thanks!

Hi all

hi guys, i recently purchased a Lynx Two A sound card and SCA preamps. I am looking to record some guitars using Guitar Rig, but just wanting to know what cable i should be looking at to achieve the best signal.

Problem i am having is that the all of the inputs (whether it be the Lynx Card or SCA pres) are XLR.

thanks for ur help.

Man do I need help here. I've tried to get used to using keyboards for creating drum track and I can't stand how slow and lame it is. I have excellent sounds, but the whole keyboard midi drum creation sucks to me. I am by no means a novice at programming. I earned a serious living in the 80's programming drums using Linn and MPC 60's.

I'm looking at different preamps for recording acoustic guitars. This looks like a serious contender. Has anyone here had the opportunity to try the LaChapell Audio 992EG? Place a couple of Royer ribbons with it and the sound is pristine. I've read this is one kick ass pre. sure looks well made.

What else compares?

Finally time to start getting to know my new studio.

A guitarist in one of my bands is looking to get pickups installed in his Martin D-28 and Wechter Rob Ickes dobro. Strictly for live use, of course. He's researching this, but I thought I throw it out here for opinions. We have a good acoustic guitar tech around here who could do anything that he and I could not do, so installation isn't a problem.

Does anybody know of anybody who builds, reverse engineers, or shoehorns guitar amplifiers into a rack space?

I'm currently wowed by a Fender Super Rack 60, which I've had in the studio for ages. I plugged into it last night as I was jamming in the room its based in, and my Cornford got a microphonic valve.
