Micing Martin D16GTR

[pretzston]

Hey guys... I am looking to record some acoustic / vocal singer/songwriter material...

I am playing through these

Martin D16GTR

Martin 00016GTE

At my disposal to work with I have the following...

Behringer B1
Audio Technique Midnight Blues (Dynamic)

M-audio Audio Buddy

Tascam 424MKII 4 Track

PC/Soundblaster live

basically, I am curious about recommendtions with micing.

With the D16 I have those two mics... with the 0016 I also have the guitar pickup as well...

So... best placement for the mellow bassy tone of the D16

and best placement for the weaker brighter 00016

Ideas? Advice? Settings?

I would start by placing the dynamic near the bridge and the condenser near the 12th fret.

really... not the other way around?

what would be the difference in sound do you think?

(I'll try it tomorrow though)
