You can also experiment with wider or narrower spacing. Going wider creates a wider sound, of course, but it also avoids the soundhole even more, and a wider image sort of opens up the sound, and can get rid of some bass buildup. Of course, you can also go too wide, so that the image sounds unnatural, so it's just something to experiment with. Your stereo image sounds quite nice to me.

Thanks for posting the wav file. Sounds very nice.
I tend to place mics around 20" back with about 16" spacing between them, panned hard left and hard right, for stereo spaced pair recordings. Lots of possibilities, lots of variables, and lots of personal preferences.

Recording in new space - critique please
Quote:
Thanks Chuck - I guess there are no right and wrong ways, although I remember reading about making sure the mics were 3x wider than distance to guitar (which I haven’t ever done as I tend to be 2x)

I think folks more knowledgeable than me will agree that the 3:1 rule doesn't apply to solo recording of acoustic guitar using the spaced pair method. Maybe they'll chime in on this.

Right. If it did, you could't use XY. It doesn't apply to stereo micing techniques at all. It applies when recording more than one source - like another guitarist, or a fiddle player or whatever in the same room. Mic placement tends to vary a lot depending on guitar, room, mics, and preference. The 10 inches away, 15-20 inches apart is usually my starting point, but I vary it, and working with others, sometimes people need to change that a lot, even if we're going for the same sound.

Thanks for the raw file. Sounds good. Easy to work with post recording. It's fun to play around with this sort of thing.
I evened R and L volume and at a louder level Then tried a couple of reverbs. That's it. First reverb is one from Seventh Heaven. The second (with a lower percentage of reverb used) is one from Lexicon. Http://dcoombsguitar.com/Misc/THX.wav

Interesting. I like the first one better as I lean towards a higher reverb %. No track delay then? Thanks..

Track delay not helpful on this. Most of the time I don't use a track delay on my recordings, but it's worth checking because sometimes it is and checking only takes a minute or two.

The seventh heaven is a Bricasti M7 replicator, is that right? It does sound really nice - did you put any EQ in the chain before the reverb?

Yes, based on Bricasti M7 from what I understand. Might have used a high pass (can't quite remember).

Gorgeous recording. I have to say that I like the raw track better than the fully mixed one--it has an intimacy and clarity that gets obscured somewhat by the reverb and EQ. That said, both sound great, and as to your original question, your space is clearly a good one, not too bassy at all.
