Hello,
I want to record my acoustic guitar (either an Ovation Celebrity Deluxe or a Yamaha FG-450SA) to eventually be mixed in purely with a vocal track.
I've viewed various articles and videos surrounding mic technique and I'm still not sure whether to record the guitar as mono or stereo. It sounds like stereo is often preferred given my use case.
Assuming that, I have the following mics available:
As much as I'd love to go out and buy another SM81, I won't be able to do that for a while.
As an alternative, would it make sense to pair the 81 with the CAD 95 or just to keep things in mono?
Does anyone strongly recommend waiting for another SM81 before recording?
Any other options/suggestions?
Thanks!
Leo

Assuming that, I have the following mics available:
- Shure SM81
- CAD 95
- Shure SM58
