I'm using a NT1a to track my vocals and a rode m3 to record acoustic guitar.
Now, the NT1a perfectly isolates the vocal with very little guitar bleed (I'm playing and singing standing up to increase the distance from both mics/sources)
What compromises this is the guitar Mic. It picks up way too much vocal spill no matter where I position it, I've tried it on the 12th fret, bridge and soundhole, all at varying distances.
Basically I'm looking for a more suitable Mic, I was thinking of perhaps using a sm57 as I've heard that this isolates sounds better, albeit at the expense of some detail being lost.
This only seems to be a problem with my vocal as I've recorded other people using the same setup with no problem. I tend to play delicate fingerstyle stuff with raspy/louder vocals, hence why I'm having issues (I think)
Any other Mic recommendations/techniques would be great
Thanks
