so, in the spirit of forward movement...
i have no knowledge of this recording,
but when i do my own acoustic recordings,
the choice of the mic is first..
but then, how it is gain staged.... and whether it goes pure into a preamp and THEN into the DAW,
or is run thru outboard gear, is key.
on this kind of recording, i would want:
1. preamp
2. EQ
3. compressor
all run before it hits the convertors.
then, at that moment, the sum is greater than the parts.
so, yea, the mic might be important,
but if you want that presence, and immediacy, it's more about the gain staging and setting of the eq and compressor.
etc, ad naseum
