How To Record Acoustic Guitar With 2 Mics 

Glad you liked it!

Glad it was helpful!!

I'm glad it helped you.

Thanks EDawg!

Thanks man!

Yep. I use that a lot.

Thanks! That is a Heritage series Gibson.

I tend to use the large diaphragm TLM 103 mic mostly. I also have a U87, a TLM 170 and a M149 (Neumanns) but the TLM 103 seems to work in most situations. If I'm in another studio with a bigger mic collection I'll try a AKG C12, or best of all a Neumann KM 86.

Thanks!

Well, I have several thoughts. 1. Just pan the 2 mics closer together and use a good stereo reverb with a Room setting to give it some width. 2. Move the 2 mics farther away from you when recording so your movement isn't so exaggerated. However, you'll get more room sound so hopefully your room sounds good. 3. Add compression to each mic when mixing so that when you are closer to one of the mics it will compress and help level it out. Not sure how well this would work and could possibly make the whole thing sound worse. 4. Just go with the sound moving around. 5. Check out this video about using 3 mics to record acoustic guitar. It allows me to pan the center mic but still get a 3D/stereo sound. This might work for you: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-8kgIp59K1hM.htmlsi=7vvO3celOkOO7K6W

@@FreakingOutWithBillyHumeThanks, will checkout the video and what you have mentioned above.

Autrian Audio O818 pair, the mic i am thinking of buying, has a stereo creator plugin, where in post one can adjust the mic arrangement. LIke M/S, Blumelien or true stereo, but mics are positioned in XY coincidental position. There will be 4 inputs recorded and summed in a quadraphonic track via plugin. I am wondering, if i move, and record any flute, base or small, it might be possible to correct in post, however, it will disrupt workflow and speed of tracking. I think your 2nd point above to have a good sounding room and place mics apart might be a good idea.

The reason for the 2 different types of mics is because they have different characteristics and by changing the blend between them you get more tone choices. If you used 2 of the same mic or similar it would basically just be louder. 1. Never sell anything. I repeat - never sell anything. 2. You might want to check out the Slate mics, specifically the ML-2 model. I recently did a video about them and was rather impressed. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-nRIv9FQEMyY.htmlsi=2fGUoQtDoOCd4HM3

@@FreakingOutWithBillyHume thank you for info :) But why "never sell anything"? Just curious. I'm like a type of a guy, who tries to keep my things as less as possible, so if I dont use it, I just give it to other people for good price ^^

Because there has been gear and instruments that I was totally convinced that I'd never use again or that I hated the sound of and then many years later wishing I still had them because now I want that sound. Unfortunately those items were either now collectors items that I could not afford or you just can't find them anymore.

Thank you

Yeah and usually the tinny steel strung acoustic played with plectrum. Almost nothing on YT on steel wound / nylon strung acoustic played with proper finger style not the awful plastic pick

Would you prefer Am and Cmaj? 😂😂

Thanks for sharing

I'm not really sure what you are talking about regarding the "recording a mix' comment.
