The audio for this video was all recorded through high quality portable devices from PreSonus directly into my Power Book. I did this to demonstrate a portable system that was able to record in great sounding tracks and they could easily be moved to a remote location. This instructional video was presented courtesy of PreSonus Incorporated.
The typical mic choice for an acoustic guitar is a small diaphragm condenser mic like the Shure KSM141 audio technical 4041, AKG 451 or the Neumann KM84. In a live setting, it is appropriate to use the built-in pick-up in an acoustic guitar but an excellent microphone provides vastly superior sound in the studio.
As the mic moves closer to the guitar, the sound gets more full and also moving the mic up and down the neck and body changes the sound. The area behind the bridge provides mostly the midrange. The area over the sound hole provides a boom in low and the area over the neck provides mostly highs.
The spot just above the neck where it meets the sound hole typically provides a good balance between highs and lows. Adjust the mic’s position for the sound you want before you select the equalization or effects.

Mic-ing the speaker with a moving corner microphone typically provides a warm tone that has more character than the direct sound.

Record the same part twice and pan the two tracks apart in the mix for a big wide sound, this process is called doubling.

Tuning the electric guitar lower than concert pitch provides a big sound combining this slow guitar with traditionally tuned guitars helps build a very impressive sound.
