I could give a hoot about a True Stereo Acoustic gtr. mix unless it is a sparse mix and I want a Stereo effect. I am just trying this for the first time. I do already know the info you and Doug are sharing but I think some are missing the point of this. i don't have a phase/invert button on my UR44 audio interface but have plug ins as you mentioned. I know about the 3-1 rule. I just want to see how much trouble I can get into because I have just started and will include LDC/SDC combo and M/S etc. experiments Any thing I do that ends up a real song and has Bass, drums,other guitar tracks perhaps Piano and surely Vocals I hope to make the Acoustic sound good and fit it properly. But thanks for the comments and your effort to share.
If the guitar is just part of a mix in with other instruments record it in mono - you will save yourself extra trouble and grief. P.S. 3-to1 rule does not apply to recording just the guitar by itself.
