Flat on the E.Q. knobs of the guitar (or click position), and go to both
extremes with the output volumes, and the input volume of your sound card.
Find out which produces the most hum, and which produces the least hum, and yet
will provide the highest volume level with the least hum.
Try to not pre color your sounds, record the natural characteristics of the
instrument that it produces, and then use post program E.Q. on your tracks. as
the mix demands.

Yo.
Ok got it. So it would be better to use a mike and the picup. Now I have a
question about the pickup. What should I use as my slave volume. Let me
explain, my pickup on my cordova has the volume and other knobs to control the
bass and all the rest of the variables, and my sound card also has a volume
control knob. Should i have the pickup volume up and use the sound card volume
knob to use for the recording or should I have the sound card up and use the
knob on the pickup to control volume? Thanks guys.

Hi:
Well, in my oppinion you still can’t beat using mics to record an
acoustic guitar. If you have the available tracks, you can use two mics in an
x/y pattern and mix it with the electric pickup signal. I just did this with
my Yamaha electric acoustic and it sounds great. You really will need to play
around with mic positioning etc.

Hi all,
Many over here with a quick question. When recording an
acoustic guitar, is it better to use a microphone or the pickup on it. Does it
make a difference when recording an acoustic strum compared to lead rifts.
Thanks,
manny
