Hi Guys 8-)

any advice for an entry level mic to rec a really stunning (handcrafted Guild...) acoustic guitar?
I wish I could preserve most of it's flavour without selling my soul to Uncle Lou...

thanks :)

Some people record acoustic guitar with a X/Y (or M/S) stereo-pair plus closeup outriggers.

(dead link removed)

Any suggestions

mics (outriggers) : omni or card ?

mics: placement ?

mixing ?

phase problems ?

more links ?

... ?

direct plugin or with a mic ? Im new to this and trying to figure out which one works or sounds better to me.. Just wanted some opinions.

I have only recorded once before, with my uncle, who has a very nice home studio. I am vaguely familiar with the whole recording process, and I know some of the stuff involved (but not much).

For a school project, I want to analyze the recording process, mostly by recording.

My uncle suggested that I buy a Zoom MRS 8 and a microphone.

A couple of questions on recording/mixing acoustic guitar. I have a session coming up in few days to record aome acoustic GTR. I will be running direct into an ISA428>MOTU 2408MKIII>Logic Platinum. That's the easy part.

Hi guys,

Im just wondering how you guys would compare the Shure PG81 to other condenser microphones in its class in terms of recording Acoustic Guitar...

hi all. Neumann km84...would this be a huge improvement over my mk012,s,on acoustic guitars?
also is it true that the km85 is the same as the 84 but with bass roll off .
