When recording acoustic
guitar, placement of the microphone is critical. Try positioning a microphone
about eight to fourteen inches away. Avoid pointing the mic at the sound
hole, because if you do the resulting sound will capture the sounds from
the guitar body and contain too much reverb. Try instead aiming for a spot
about where the neck and body meet.
One way to add richness to a recording of an acoustic guitar is to use two
microphones. Aim one at the spot where the neck and body meet; aim the other
at the bridge. The microphone aimed at the bridge will capture more of the
midrange. Blending the two together in the mix will help you achieve the
sound you are looking for.
