Which provides the most acoustically natural sound ..... using 1 or 2 mics?
I wish to record myself into a digital recorder. I'll be fingerpicking a small bodied acoustic guitar, and singing at the same time. I'm only interested in recording the music 'live", and not guitar first then vocals second. I will be purchasing 2 Studio Projects B1 condenser mics. The only effects I'll be using are equalization and a very tiny bit of reverb. The goal is to get a natural, acoustic sounding tone on the recording.
Which is best, 1 or 2 mics? If 2, should I use one for vocals and the other for the guitar, or position them both in front of me so that both mics pick up both the guitar and vocals equally?
I doubt recording in stereo would be worthwhile, seeing I'm after a "natural" acoustic sound. Is that so?
Thanks for any help.
