Hey Seve, its miKe here, hope all is going well with you. I'm just curious how your album turned out. If you remember I did a recording for you a couple of years on one of your songs. Did anything ever evolve? Just on a note to the acoustic guitar subject, its definitely better to record using a microphone although it all depends on the pic up you use. Martin has a pretty good system, and works rather well. Although I still prefer to use a Sm58, or a special microphone to record acoustic guitars. I find the microphone actually captures the real sound of the guitar's body sound. I generally use the pick up for live. Hope this helps.
