Mic'ing cabs vs acoustics.

[Artie]

I've played with mid side recording and it can be great too . . . but you better have a nice sounding room . . .

I obtain sound deadening by the sheer amount of junk in my room. :blackeye:

I've always used a condenser and SM7, then blended to suit my taste for the song.

This is a time honored method.


I've also had good luck with an LDC over my shoulder, and an SDC pointing at the joint between the neck and the guitar body. You have to play around a bit to avoid phase cancellation (and be careful with your head to not knock into the mic). This seems to give a more similar sound to what you hear while playing the guitar in the room.
