Recording Acoustics
If anyone here has experience of successfully micing up acoustic guitars, can they comment on the following :-
Regarding getting an acoustic/electro acoustic for doing recording work ...
"So the choice is:
a) Decent acoustic with undersaddle and a little EQ, around £300, or
b) Fantastic acoustic ($1500, and maybe several others for the different styles - one nylon classical, one nylon flamenco, one parlour sized picker, a good folksy strummer and a real boxy one for slide and a 12 string or two), big wood floored room with bass traps and non parallel walls, 3 >£500 condenser mics and a day to place them in the room, a couple of close dynamics (SM58's are probably not really good enough even for the close mics), some very clean input channels, all clocks removed and no one
breathes during the take. And a little EQ."
