 Re: One Mic or Two?
this is a very general question, but to try to give you a short answer, it might. this depends on so many things though, that that's probably not a great answer. for example:
a) is the room you're recording in acoustically treated?
b) how high-quality is the acoustic guitar you're recording?
c) how good a player are you?
d) what kind of budget, if any, are you on?
i'm asking these questions because a) i'm assuming by two mics you mean one close-mic and one room mic, and this will only sound good if you have a good room, b) if your guitar isn't exactly high-end, which is perfectly understandable, then i'd definitely stick with one mic because with two mics all you're gonna be doing is more perfectly capturing not-terrific tone. admittedly this does give you more to work with, but it all depends on your guitar. c) same as b. maybe this isn't something to worry about, but i don't know. d) when you say "more expensive", how expensive are we looking at here? i can recommend you plenty of condenser mics in the $250-$500 range because that's my range, but i don't know how much money you have to spend here.
so a little more information would be good, but what you have isn't a bad start.
