hey all



hope everyone is doing well in the new year. it is way too snowy here in ny.



I havent asked a question in a while so i'm looking forward to hearng from RO opinions on whats up.

I hear that double tracking is a nice way to get a full acoustic sound. I also understand that it is typically done with two mono tracks, but I am wondering if it can be done effectively with two stereo tracks, done in XY configuration, or is this overburdening the recording?

I am looking for a way to get a decent sound for acoustic guitar. I have tried a few different techniques that might be considered standard methods, without success. The sound is not appealing to my ear.

Any suggestions on this? I am tracking acoustic guitar with an AT-4047 and an AT2020. Both are cardiod pattern mics and I have even placed them a little above the guitar facing down so as to turn them away from the player's head, hoping they would reject the breath sounds even more but I am still getting a lot of it in the recording.

Hi everyone. I have a client/friend coming over today to record acoustic guitar and then some vocals. I want to get the best tracks possible obviously and I have made some recordings in the past with acoustic that arent too bad. Let me just tell you what I've got and maybe you can tell me my best options. I have a Tascam DM-4800 and a single UA LA-610 for pres.
