Swordy asked how I recorded Acoustic guitar & Sax:

Guitar.

First off new set of strings.
Shure sm57 about a foot away pointing at the start of fret board
AKG1000s condensor mic positioned half way down the neck about 18 inches
Panned hard left and right
Very little adjustment in eq 1.5dB's on highs and minus 1.5dB's on the lows
Little compression just enough so that you hear it kick in
Hall reverb/syphonic [syphonic is like chorus] not too much again


Sax

New reed
AKG1000's condensor mic positioned above the bell half way the lenght of instrument pointing towards the mouthpiece.
Little compression
Same reverb as guitar but less of, plus echo[ be careful too much and it's horrible] just enough so it fattens-up

Both recorded via an ART gold tube preamp through to a Yamaha AW1600g workstation.

Then masterd the whole thing using Adobe audition 1.5 using noise reduction, pan/expander and finaly noise limiter, boosting up by 6dB's

Hope that all makes sence.
Anybody want some tips on recording live stuff, PM me, I'll tell you what I know

Cheers
