multiple recording techniques on acoustics

[smopo24]

i'd use a ribbon about a foot away from the hole, angled off-axis, and a small diaphram condenser a few inches away from the neck. sounded good the last time i used that combo.

I tried a Beyer M500 on acoustic once but it was such a lowlevel it got lost in the console's noise floor. Had to switch that out. That's the only ribbon I ever tried though. Which one did you use?

Little Labs makes a box for just that situation...

Of course, they have more...http://www.littlelabs.com/

Does anyone remember if was these guys or sound devices who are ex-shure guys who got tired of cheaping on things ? (at least that's the story I remember)

I used this at Gravity for reamping bass and it ruled. I didn't exactly know what all the buttons were doing but I could hear the differences.

i used the AEA R84 through a trident console, it wasn't a foot away exactly....but it was far and a bit off center. i liked the sound of it, but that was just one technique that i used that no one spoke of.
