I should have said I was overjoyed with the sound I'm finally getting. I've done the large condenser, OK playing w/ picks, not for flesh and nail.

As to the unusual mic placement, 4031 pointed to the 12th fret or thereabouts, 57a on the body seems pretty logical. I've found I can adjust my seating position to accommodate different guitars. I position about two feet away from the mics.

I'm recording just acoustic guitars w/ this set up. I've been working w/ my Waterloo WL-12 on this particular track.

I've done one test recording, I'll see if the guitar part is consumable, not a keeper by any means, if it is I'll post later tonight.

Thanks Doug,..

getting good picked acoustic sound have never been an issue for me. again, playing w/ fingers only is a completely different animal to record in my experience and talking w/ my engineer buddies, that's been their experience as well.

I'm am using the mics in stereo, it's lovely. 4031 center and the 57a to the right wide is quite nice.
