you know, it's weird recording the taylor...
because it has so much bottom, and at the same time, the high end is very prominent.
i have to engineer myself, so i spend a lot of time in front of the mic, wiggling around....
moving it high, moving it low...
over my shoulders looking down, out in front pointing from over there...
over here.....
i think on this one, it was actually below me, looking up from around my knees, pointing at the edge of the guitar, away from the sound hole.
LOL
i really want the midrange (which is complex on this guitar) but is overshadowed by the low and high end...
so it's a real 'art' to find the sweet spot of a single mic in front of this guitar, while recording it...
between the gain stages of the preamp, the makeup gain i use on the DBX compressor, and the physical placement of the mic, it's a weird little game i play...
