Hi Folks,
I am planning to record a couple of songs with two acoustic guitars and two vocals. My go-to setup for acoustic guitar is usually two mics (often the same, sometimes different ones) one at the brigd one at the 12/14th fret and pan them hard left and right. But for this record I would like to mix two guitars that play two different fingerpicking parts.
What would be the best way to seperate the guitars enough in the recording?
Is there a way to still make them sound wide and lush, cause panning them both hard stereo makes an hard to define guitar mess.
Any thoughts, any experience?
I have got a nice sounding, properly treated room.
The mics I will probably use are a pair of AKG D224e (I love them!) and the two condensor mics I have got an MXL 440 and a Rode NT1-A.
Should I be using different mics on each guitar to seperate them more?
Is there a microphone that I should try for these recordings? I can have a look around in my network if anyone has anything I could use for a week.
Thanks a bunch in advance!
