Just joined, 2nd question already (I've been saving them up, ha ha ha...) Basically, I want to record my electro acoustic guitar with as full a sound as possible. I pick & strum moderate alt-country / folk / blues. The only mics I have at my disposal are 1) Shure SM58 Beta (dynamic), and, 2) Rode NT2 (condensor). So, which mic shall I use, and where's the best place to position them? Shall I also D.I. the guitar to multi-track and mix a bit of that in, too? Or is it best to just use the mic recordings? Help / advice / thoughts appreciated.
