acoustic guitar

What are some great things to do after you have the acoustic guitar recorded? I really dont know how else to ask, just anything you do to give it a better, fuller, cleaner sound. Thanks. Btw, dont be afraid to get into detail

By far the most important thing to getting a killer acoustic guitar sound is having a good instrument and mic and experimenting with them to find the optimal placement of the instrument/mic for your room. If you have recorded it already and it sounds dull, or thin, there isn't a lot you can do in terms of effects to make it sound quality. If it sounds dull, put some new strings on the guitar....this is often overlooked and can make a huge difference in sound quality.

You can always add just a splash of light chorus over the track (Nothing too extreme here). And if need be, a slight push in the hi frequencies can breath a little extra air into an acoustic (Think, really WIDE Q here, centered around 11Khz, and boosted maybe by only a decibel or so, if even that much).

if it's one solo acoustic track in a song sometimes I like to add a very short delay and pan it to the opposite side in the mix. You can always split the mix and compress one channel very hard and bring it up underneath the original track to give it a fuller sound.

I see the comment up there about chorus...I don't know why, but when I hear chorus on anything I always think it's on there to mask a bad performance....that's just ne though
