singer/congwriter continued

[paresh]

I posted a while bk about recording a singer/guitarist "live" re bleed through... People basically said it shouldn't be a problem & to make 2 copies & e q each one differently. But I find I'm quite limited in what I can do - no delay on the voice bec it wdn't sound right on the guitar. And maybe they are somewhat near the same midrange frequency so e q seems to affect both & I can't treat each one seperately. Am I missing something? Thanks

Maybe try to do again with better mic's, that is , mic's w/ very tight pickup patterns. Experiment w/ placement till you get a decent sound. Then leave it alone. I'm not a fan of EQ. In a sense, it's just another form of distortion.
They key is to get it sounding right before you press the red button.
