thanks for the help man, makes me wanna break the bank for another mike so i can record in stereo ha
Excellent thread..and thanks for taking time out to post it.
I have difficulties recording my acoustic (most instruments in fact lol) I have a condenser and a dynamic...would it be best to have the condenser near the hole and the dynamic on the neck? or just use the condenser?
Hi there.
I'm trying to get "The" sound of my acoustic guitar, or better I'd say a good sound.
I made this clip in Mid-Side technique, using a large diaphragm condenser mic Rode NT2a in figure-of-eight mode, and a supercardioid small diaphagm Rode NT3. Would you please tell me whether you find something "wrong" in this sound? I'm not yet allowed to post URLs so please copy-paste this link on your browser:

Hi,
... Maybe position the Rode a little closer to take advantage of the proximity effect.
Thia take was made in MS setup, so the relative positioning of the two mics (the NT3 supercardioid being over and very close to the Fig 8 Nt2a) is not compatible with a closer positioning of just one of them. Anyway, forgive my ignorance, what do you mean by "proximity effect?
...I think in this case, since he thought the low end of your guitar was a bit lacking, it might be remedied by a closer mic position.
Uh, I see; actually, I played a brand new OM, which building was completed just 8 weeks ago, the topwood is Italian spruce and it will take some more time to break out the full basses; moreover, here actually RH is at 75% !!
I'll try anyway a new take staying closer to both mics.
MeMyGuitar and WhiteStrat,Yeah, I think it's worth trying, but to my ears, the low end isn't that lacking. And it might just need an eq tweak.
sounds awesome. i'm having trouble getting the full sound that you have. I use one mic, but i copy and paste the track and pan one left and one right...but this does nothing. can anyone help?

That's not MS recording at all. First of all, you need two mics, one of them must be settted up in "figure of eight" mode or at least in omnidirectional mode.
Meantime, i made some further steps on sound treatment and this is the last update:
