What's your studio/recording space like?
corner of basement about 10' X 12'

What are your goals for recording your acoustic music?
I pretty much record for my own pleasure. The process is as enjoyable as the end result.

What kind of music do you like to play/record?
Rock, folk rock, Americana

Is your studio space treated? How?
I have moving blankets on the two walls and a third 'wall' was created with more moving blankets

What's in your mic locker?
Shure SM57, Audio Technica AT2035, Audio Technica AT2021, Radio Shack 33-3032, Naiant MSH-1

Computer-based or standalone recorder?
I use an old Korg D1600 which is a stand alone device

Recorder? DAW? Interface? Preamp? FX? Plug-in's? Ext. HD's for storage?
Besides the previously mentioned Korg D1600, I have 2 M-Audio DMP3 preamps, a FNR RNC compressor, and an Alesis Nanocompressor.

Monitors? Headphones? Power amp? Controller/mixer or completely ITB?
I have Audio Technica ATH-M40x headphones and KRK Rokit 5 monitors.

Favorite mic pattern/placement for recording acoustic guitar?
Most of my mics are cardioid and I typically place them where the neck meets the body. The distance depends on the guitar and the sound I'm going for.

New gear you have your eye on?
I am not looking at anything right now.

How has home recording evolved for you?
I started recording bouncing between 2 portable cassette decks. I then got a 3 head Sony TC353D reel to reel recorder. I've had 2 4 track cassette decks, a Boss BR-8 digital recorder and now the Korg. I've basically evolved by increasing track count and hopefully, I've learned something along the way.

I would also like to mention that I have 5 electric guitars, a bass, a digital keyboard, a couple of amps and a real drum kit in my little place...
