Hey there! I'm in dire need of help. I have an untreated room and I want to get a good acoustic guitar sound. I have no clue if thats possible, but I'm sure you recording gurus can help me out. :] What would be my best bet as far as mic's would go? Recommendations of specific mic's would also be great. Also, any help with positioning and gain levels would be great. I'm aiming for a really crisp acoustic sound, something that sounds really nice plucked and strummed.
Thanks!

Maybe a bit more focus on VO for some of these, but they should help.

So I'm assuming that I may need to treat my room?

Uhhh ... yeah ... I guess that would be the general point LOL.

But I really think it'll be easier than you think.
