Acoustic guitar recording: better tone without buying mics
Room choice and placement can improve recorded acoustic tone more than new gear.
Choose the room first
- Avoid hard corners and loud reflective spaces.
Aim off-axis
- Point mic near 12th fret, not directly at sound hole.
Control reflections
- Use curtains/blankets to tame harsh early reflections.
