1	Miking Techniques for Acoustic Guitar?? [ Posted on 04/30/2007 at 00:06 ]

Right now I use a MXL 990 around the 12th Fret about 3-4 inches away from the neck and I plug my guitar directly into my computer so that I have two separate tracks coming in. It provides a great sound for people for looking for a pingy/bright sounding guitar. I was wondering if anyone else would care to share their techniques and types of mics they use to record acoustic guitar.

90 degree stereo pair pointed at the 12th fret, about 4 inches away (small diaphragm condensers, i like the shure pg81's if you're looking on the cheap)... this does a good job of getting alot of live fretting sounds while still getting some picking and a little boom from the body.

I like to supplement with an AT4050 as a room mic about 4 feet away. gives a nice natural element to round out the sound. This is my favorite combo (this week anyway).

There is a good article on mic technique and other factors when recording acoustic guitar at http://www.koretzmusic.com/rocksure2.html#tip2
You may find some helpful ideas there.
