ditto on nt3 like DJL says-go Rode NT3. 9v battery power and just powerful on acoustic guitar around 12th fret. I've been using one for over 2 years and I think its a "secret weapon" that doesn't get near enough coverage in these forums. I'm assuming you don't have a preamp? A cheap ART V3...

Newbie here again. I use Fujifilm CD-R All Purpose and I get them at Best Buy because they're tough to find online. (I pay around $15 for a 30 pak). And I buy them for a good reason...my Casio CD Printer. These discs are virtually blank of label type bullshit that most cds have and allow my...

See...I told you I was a newbie :o

I'm a newbie with you guys but I have been recording for better than 2 years now and made a $70 discovery that has really paid off. I went from a basement studio to a garage studio and noticed especially in the garage my mics and inherently noisy ARTV3 preamps were extra noisy. I searched the...

Take it from me...spend $160 on a DMP3, quiet and sweeeet! :cool:

Shit luck. I repaired a massive crack across the neck with Elmers glue after a nasty fall. It happened in 1975 and my old classical still plays perfect. Shit luck...

A pair of MXL603's and DMP3 preamp. Done.

Bought a pair of 603's and a DMP3 this week and I'm happier than a pig in shit. Also bought a multi-mic holder which allowed me to X/Y the mics but I found that after some experimentation I got super results by focusing one on the 12th fret and the other where the fretboard and soundhole meet at...

Just got my new DMP3 and (2) 603's today. From everything I've read on this site recently-you all talked me into trying this combo. I too play a Morgan acoustic and can't wait to see if I can capture something that resembles the incredible tone I hear everytime I play it. I'll try it out this...

Ed Gerhard. Aside from being the best fingerstylist on earth, he's also discovered how to truly record acoustic guitar. Look him up and buy his Live album...and believe...

Super shit, man. Just super. Great to hear such beautiful stuff...for free even!

Thank you... Treeline. My new M-Audio is on its way.

I've ordered a couple of 603s then realized I need preamps. Have been using art v3's on my nt3 and 4040. I'm not rich (hence the 603's) and I was thinking about a couple of Studio Projects tube blend models. OK? Or any other reasonable choices? I still plan on trying my old mics as room mics...

I use a 4040 on the sound hole and get very nice tone. I also use an NT5 at the 12th fret. Pretty good combo but you all have me just about talked into a couple of Oktavas...

I was dreaming of some Neumanns but some of you said to try a pair of Studio Projects C4's as well as some others. How do they sound on acoustic guitar used as a matched pair? Thanks.

to tapehead: Hey man! Glad to hear from someone who's heard of the Morgan. There's a music store in East Winthrop, Maine called Perkin's Music House and one of only half a dozen dealers in the U.S. I still can't believe I own it! The builder-David Iannone was an apprentice of Jean Larrivee...

Being of modest means, my home studio has never been graced by a Neumann mic. Being an acoustic fingerstylist I read Acoustic Guitar Magazine every month and have seen an ad on the KM184 saying that it's the only mic acoustic players need in any situation and on any guitar whether live or...

I love my 4040! Can't tell you about the4047, but I've been using the4040 dead in front of the soundhole of my acoustic and have been getting great results! I keep it about 6" away and get a nice, smooth and just slightly dark response. But never boomy. I've experimented alot with location and...

Ditto to what Tapehead said about the Elixirs being quiet while recording! Especially the polys. I recently bought a Morgan acoustic and paid 2 grand for this handmade beauty. It came strung with Elixirs. I'll put my Morgan up against any acoustic in the world and I want to believe that Elixirs...

After 3 years of experimenting I believe I've found a winning combination...a Rode NT3 pointed at the 12th fret @ about 4'' away and an AT4040 dead in front of the soundhole @ about 6" away. Both mics run through ART V3 preamps right into a Yamaha aw16g workstation. Wow! The mics and pres will...
