How is this acoustic sound, done with only one MXL990.

I think it sounds really good. You'd have to tame some of the low mids if this were going into a full mix, but it's very nice solo'd.

Not a bad attempt but it needs more fucking cowbell.

What exactly are the low mids specifically?

It's a range...nothing specific. Low mids are what give things "warmth," - this guitar sounds warm and wonderful solo'd...but if you put a bass track with it, they'd be walking all over each other and you'd have some pretty serious mud in no time.

Anyway, for me, I consider "low mids" to be ABOUT 100hz up to ABOUT 450Hz. At any rate, that seems to be the general area that I usually have to clean up the most.

Great thread on low mids here: http://www.recordingproject.com/bbs/viewtopic.php?t=1033
