Acoustic Guitars, Recording the "Sweet Spot"

We have great success in the studio recording acoustic guitars using a two mic technique. Audio engineers placement of the mics will depend on the type of playing ( ie fingerstyle vs flat picking), guitar, room,  and available mics. Each recording session will have a "sweet spot" that will record the pure tone and warmth that acoustic guitars can give.  Experimentation with the mic placement is the only way to find the "sweet spot".  You can see our eyes light up when we have a client that comes in for some acoustic guitar recordings. We just can't wait to capture the "sweet spot" of the instrument and the session.. We hope to see you in the studio !
