Okay...I've been trying to get a nice full sound out of just one acoustic guitar (big baby taylor) and one vocal. What are some good ways to do this without using a bunch of effects?
I'm thinking, sound wise, like Dashboard Confessional, Jack Johnson or Ben Harper. They've all got songs that do this and sound really nice and use very few if any noticeable effects.
I've got 2 shure57 (I think that's what they are), 1 MXL 990, and 1 Studio Projects B1 (I'd have more, but I'm broke now)...oh, and I'm recording on to a Roland VS-880EX which has some nice effects, but they're all really drastic...nothing subtle. I've got 8 tracks. to work with, so that's not a problem.
should I double mic the guitar and pan both? Any info would be nice.
Also, would a "acoustic guitar mic" better for the acoustic? And if so, why is that so?
Thanks!
