I'm new to mid side miking on acoustic guitars, and I need a little help. I'm using a SCD for the mid mic, and a LCD in figure 8 for the side. I have everything set up as per all of the instructions online. My mid mic sounds good and my side mic sounds good, but when combined, they sound weird. When listening to the 2 side tracks, panned hard left and right, with the right phased reversed, they sound as if some of the frequencies are filtering. If I center them, they cancel out completely. When I bring up the level on my mid mic, the left channel sounds like some of the frequencies are filtering (thats the side mic with the phase not reversed) as If my mid mic and side mic are having some phase issues from the start. Is this normal? The mid mic mixed with the side mic that is phase reversed sounds good (right channel).
My mid mic is pointing at the body of the guitar at the neck joint, and the side mic capsule is directly under it turned sideways 90 degrees, as close as I could get the capsules together.
