Hows this recorded acoustic sound?
Im working on getting a good sound - aside from the ever so important arranging/playing/guitar tone...
Heres dry and with some convo verb/eq/comp Sorry for the mistakes - was just improv'ing chords. Hows this sound? I used an AT2020 LDC at the 12th fret, only angled a hair - then an SM57 angled at the bridge. With FX Dry recording just panning

First of all, Hello and Welcome to the Forum! Glad you joined… I don't download files from people I don't know - even on this forum. If you can post your files so I can play them online, I'll give them a listen.

Ah well I'm on linux so I don't have to worry about viruses
 It's got some noise. If you've got input and output gain on your pres, try turning the input gain down and the output gain up. I'm trying to figure out if I think the mics sound a little bit spitty. Not sure. Maybe it's just the attack. Is it a small-ish body instrument? I'm also wondering if there's a little bit of high-end shimmer missing. Just the very top band - your recording wasn't dull-sounding by any means. Maybe that's just the sound of your guitar. Hmm... I'm thinking small body again, with a mid-forward kind of sound. It is a pretty good job though IMO. It sounds quite solid and well-defined. That's not always easy to do. And maybe the timbre is spot on for all I know. I'd have to hear the guitar live to compare. I don't think it needs compression. Not to my ears anyway. Or EQ. Nice you didn't go overboard with the reverb (I never can resist..).

There no danger opening music files (in this case a wav file) off the internet. And did you know when you stream stuff online (youtube, etc) it is downloaded to your computer (temporary internet files). So don't worry about it.
Anyway, as to the sound I think it is very good. Congrats.

Thanks guys! I really appreciate the welcoming! To my ears at least, this might lack a tad bit of body or lower end. You are correct about the body size though! Its an Ibanez model thats discontinued. It was about 600 new - its a cutaway with arched back - thick spruce top and maple back/sides. Has a piezo pickup.
My dmp3 pre doesnt have output unfortunately - part of the problem is my computer in the background. I put quiet fans in it, and I sit between the mics and comp, but it still comes in... Thanks very much for the listens and advice. I try to just put enough verb on to give some space is all...
