I am having a real problem miking my acoustic guitar...
In terms of getting the bass to sound good, and balanced...
I am going for a good crisp neutral sound...like Ani Difranco
What I am looking for is a stand (i've seen them on stage) for the acoustic guitar, so that it can stay in the same position...and i can move all the mics around and stuff. that way I can get the mics/guitar position exactly the same...without any fluctuation...
that's the only way i can think of to do it...then I can work with proximity effect more and stuff....and get the balanced sound I am going for.
Also any other pointers on recording acoustic...my room isn't very great...do you guys prefer an XY stereo combination....like 2 1/2 feet back from the instrument....or, do the old bridge pointing up/neck angeled into sound hole? (anyone have some good pictures of that technique...i think my placement is just bad)
but, mainly info on that stand. thanks!
