I think XY and mixer EQ is a good idea... With one mic above the neck joint pointed at the upper bout, the sound is fundamentally good, but lacks just a bit of the string-forward that really helps in a live setting. Add another mic pointed more forward to capture that and viola!

Old thread, new question: with the ToneDexter II, is it possible to record using two mics directly into the ToneDexter to create the IR?

Not directly, tho you could use a mixer to combine 2 mics and run that into the mic input of tonedexter. I don't think there'd be any benefit, tho, and it might even confuse tonedexter. Keep in mind that ToneDexter isn't recording, it's gathering data from the mic - that's why a "better" mic isn't necessarily required or even beneficial. James May would have a more definitive answer on this, tho.

Having already tried 2 mic scenario awhile back, I did not hear any added benefit. Different, but not better. I ended up deleting the 2 mic wavemaps.
Just sounded cleaner and more focused using one mic you are happy with. Trying to get a studio sound, but for me, a single mic just sounded better. Plus, a lot easier to eq a single source, rather than a mixed mic source. I used SDC and LDC mics, mixed and matched condenser sizes. Probably 10 mics used in the experiments. But, but, ....but of course ymmv. Last edited by SQNK; 03-18-2024 at 07:00 PM. |

Thanks Doug and SQNK - I'll stick with a single mic.
