Sorry, but it's a client work in progress, and Neville was asked to do a vocal 
track.  Perhaps when it is finished, I'll ask the author.

    Hi Sean,

    What stile of acoustic guitar do you play? Do you have any recordings that 
I can listen to? 

     

    May the Peace of God which passes all understanding guard your heart and 
mind in Christ Jesus. God bless you!

    Hi Manny,

     

    Yes it does make a big difference.  

     

    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...

      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
