I know there are no hard and fast "rules" on recording IE: is no right way/wrong way, but I would like to get some opinions from you folks-
I just acquired a new acoustic guitar that is equipped with a built-in neck and bridge pick-up. This is new to me as the acoustic I've been recording with is 45 years old and does not have that feature set.
The new guitar sounds great, so I know micing it will get the results I'm after.
My questions are-
Is there a prefered recording technique that many have found successful with acoustic guitars like this? The variations I see are-
Mic the same as before- 1 on the neck and 1 on the body. This one always works for me.
Use the bridge PUP DI, mic the neck
Use the neck PUP DI and mic the body
Use both PUP's and go DI?
