Where are you placing the mike? For acoustics, I often have to move the mic
around for the best response. Often closer to the bridge will give you a bit
more top end, but sometimes you lose some of the fullness. In my previous
post, I referred to a technique called Ortf, where you use two mics in a stereo
pattern. I use this for guitar a lot, and it sounds great. Bassically, you
have two mics crossing over each other so the capsules are 120 degrees off axis
to each other, and about 6 inches apart. You can do this with a T bar on one
mic stand. Hope this helps.

Gordon,
I definitely like the C3 for vocals. It just seems to record the acoustic
guitar too dark. Maybe I need to use an effect or do something with eq along
with using the C3?
Thanks to all for your suggestions!
Laurie

I'm really surprised you wouldn't like the c3. If you are looking for a
little more edge, you may want to try the audiotenica 4330 (I think that is the
model number). Also, believe it or not, the behringer b2 pro has quite a nice
top end, and it is cheap in usual behinger fashion.

I know there have been mic discussions here before and I can't remember
what the suggestions were. What would people recommend as a great mic for
mic'ing guitar? Is there one out there for less than $500? I've tried the
Studio Projects C3 and, though I get a wonderful quality of sound, I'm looking
for that little extra punch. I also have a Shure Ksm27. Is that a better
choice? Is there one I don't have which would be even better?
Looking for ideas.
Thanks again!
Laurie
