AT4050 vs MSH-1's

[Gorty]

use all three -- naiants in xy about 5-6" back from the 14th fret, 4050 in figure 8 back about three feet, pointing generally between the soundhole and the neck. Put the naiants on a stereo track and the 4050 on a mono track. Mix to taste, possibly putting some light effects on the mono track.

I was thinking along the lines of something similar to your suggestion. Thanx antichef.

Excuse me if I'm wrong, but aren't the MSH-1's omni mics, making them unsuitable for a coincident/near coincident pair mic setup?

Maybe most are -- I've got MSH-1Cs, which are cardioid. But there are other ways to do stereo effectively with omnis, no?

Hi Gorty,
It could be a dud 4050! Such things do happen. Give it a few more goes & possibly take it back!

Hey rayc, How's things?

I tried a few different mic'ing configurations tonite: Distance from the source, position in the room, pointing at different positions of the source etc etc and my results are beginning to be more pleasing. The mic is really quiet with the gain up high...I like that.

I have noticed that once several tracks have been captured using the mic, the mix of the tracks together as a whole has greater clarity and definition.
