No matter how much I experiment with mic placement, I have never been happy with the tone of my Larrivee "as is" when i record it. I recently bought a pair of peluso sdc's, and still can't get an ideal tone without using eq. I've tried close miking @ 5"-8", 12"-15" and out even further. Pointed at the 12th fret, 14th fret, upper bout, angled & straight etc....
Do you guys get useable tones when miking without using Eq, or is it fairly normal to have to shape it with eq. I'm not sure if it's just my guitar or what. I never need to boost eq, just cut in and around 100 to 200 to get some clarity in the low end, then narrow & deep cuts at 500hz & 1000hz roughly... is this abnormal?
