Hmm... My classical guitar teacher and a couple of audio engineers I had pleasure working with thought that placing mics near the neck was providing a bit of brightness to the sound and balanced well the body's tone. In those days I spent entire days practicing to minimize the fret/string noise. Today I think that such noises add to the charm of the music but i guess this is context and style dependent (but I am also fond of music made exclusively of such "unwanted" noises so I may not be the right reference in this context). ./MiS On Mon, Feb 23, 2009 at 9:06 PM, Joe Hartley <jh@xxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > On Mon, 23 Feb 2009 20:16:20 -0500 > lanas <lanas@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: >> I use a >> M-Audio microphone, which might not be the best, but then I'd need some >> convincing to believe that a top quality mic would actually do >> something concerning this.
