Possible mic advice needed

[bobblehat]

Hi ,

I've just started doing some recording and could do with some advice.

Just want to record Acoustic and Vocals simultaneously.Currently using L6 toneport UX2 , Reaper and a single LDC mic.Have managed to record this http://soundcloud.com/bobblehat-3/li...ack-submarines with this set up.Needs some work on the production but still learning.

I am thinking about getting an SDC mic to capture the guitar separately but not sure how much benefit I would get from this.Any recommendations on a cheap SDC welcome.

Any advice much appreciated.

Thanks

AKG Perception gets my vote! Pointed at aroundabout the twelth fret area, then adjust to balance SDC guitar sound with the guitar spill in the LDC - job's a fish!

Define "cheap" ....

Oktava MK-012-01 is a superb little condenser.

Thomann TBone range for good value also worth considering

Define "cheap" ....

Around £70

I can't think of an SDC at £70 that I'd be happy to use on an acoustic guitar.

I used an Oktava MK 012 the other day and was pleasantly surprised by it though.
The AT2031 is good for the money but you are looking at £150.
You might find it for £90 or so used.

Good point, forgot about that one - had a matched pair of 'em a while back, fantastic for the money.
