Bit of acoustic recording teaser

[feles]

Hi guys!

I'm doing this project now with my friends and i wanted to share with you this little acoustic part. I love it soo much , the sound and ambience, and it's unmixed! It's a ~200 EUR CORT cutaway acoustic, with a studio project B1 and the piezzo pickup. It was recorded in my untreated room though

What do you think?

Thanks!

Crap, why doesn't my acoustic sound like that?

What's the model of your guitar? Sounds very good!

Hey, thanks for the replies!

My guitar is a Cort AD 850 CE, not so expensive or fancy But i like it.

Very nice sound there.

I've been finding that a c1000 about 12" back pointing the neck join, on axis, mixed with a 57 at 45 degrees pointing at the soundhole gives a nice mix of the overall tone of a guitar, good for automating warmth vs. attack as you go through a piece as well.

Thanks for the advice.
I only have the SP B1 now, but today i ordered an SM57. I'll have more opportunities i think
It was recorded as you said, ~12" back from the neck joint but i mixed with the piezzo signal for the nicer high-end and attack. I'll definitely try next time the sm57 off-axis thing!

Some useful info, depending on the input impedance of your mic preamp
