I'm recording acoustic guitar with Cool Edit. I can record individual tracks in stereo or mono. I've got a couple condensor mics and seem to get a good sound either way but I'm not sure I'm doing it right, and haven't seen much discussion about the topic. Other than experimenting with mic placement (x/y, etc.), what methods does everyone use? It sounds as if recording in mono, duplicating the track and playing around with pan and tiny bits of delay, etc. gives me much the same effect as recording in stereo and making similar kinds of adjustments to the channel mix settings. I would assume that if I end up with a lot of stereo tracks panned in a lot of different ways, I could lose control of the mix unless I was real careful. Does any of this make any sense?
