Most times I mic an acoustic and stay away from using the pickup on sessions. Key words here are most times... You will have to consider what genre of music your recording, and how much the song is carried by the acoustic. If the acoustic plays a big part in the song, and the genre of music is folk or country for example, you will be better off using microphones. If you are recording hard rock or something, where the acoustic just lends a little color to the song, then you may want to think about recording from the pickup, or taking a track of the pickup and microphone. Most times I stereo mic acoustics, and pan each mic hard right and left, but maybe that's more than you want to get into at this point? Mic selection and placement on acoustic instruments is an area which I have explored heavily for many years, and I can offer some worthwhile thoughts on this subject if need be. And I'll try to do so without just sending one word emails which don't contain any substance...

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
