I've often struggled with separating guitar mic and vocal mic adequately. I'm not at all happy with my vocals (I think they're thin and I was suffering from dry vocal chords) but what worked reasonably well for me today was:

- a hypercard Beyerdynamic M201 pointed down towards the upper right bout of my fingerpicked guitar (I've heard miking that area is a BBC technique). The angle of the mic puts the vocals close to the Mick's null area
- an AT4040 on vox. The AT4040 is a particularly challenging choice because my impression is that it has a fairly wide cardiod pickup pattern compared with some other near LDCs and with many actual LDCs

I'm thinking of waiting for the voice to improve (I think the voice problem may be caused by central heating) and trying again using an sE V7X. I think the V7X may add some appealing upper-mid to higher range sparkle.
