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. Gord From: Manny <mailto:rivasma@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Wednesday, August 29, 2012 1:05 PM To: ddots-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [ddots-l] recording acoustic guitars 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
