I recently picked up my first condenser mic and it's giving me some fits. I'm mainly trying to mic my acoustic guitars. I'm trying to get the best sound WITHOUT EQ by using placement and I can't seem to get it right. I tried doing the old standard 6" to 1 ft aimed towards the 10-12th fret. That always worked for my 57.. but with this mic, I'm getting a boxy sound. If I back up a bit, I get more room than I want and lose some immediacy. Make sense? I posted some samples to show what I mean. Go to http://www.nowhereradio.com/artists/album.php?aid=1749&alid=-1 and check out Mic_test and Tennesse. thanks!
Oh, just fyi, those are just experiment tracks... in other words, bad timing, out of tune, lots of string noise and you can even hear my HD. So feel free NOT to comment on that stuff...
Oh.. and the mic is a CAD GXL2400...
