Nice article indeed. Just updated Firefox to ver 22 and was finally able to play the soundcloud clips.

StudioCat > I use Windows 10 and Sonar Platinum. I have a touch screen. I make some videos. This one shows how to do a physical loopback on the RME UCX to get many more equalizer nodes.

Nice job Dan,
would love to see more of this kind of 'real world' stuff where Sonar is concerned. There are literally mountains of dance music related vids and tutorials out there but its light on actual mic setups and tracking scenarios. Groove 3 has some decent stuff but its always nice coming form the good folks at Cakewalk...helps to build the community

Very useful. I've got a bunch of those techniques written down from one of the G3 vids but I think you have more variations there and the pics are helpful (my notes are just text descriptions of what the vid showed). One that seems to be missing though is the one in front pointed directly at the guitar and a condenser or ribbon over the right shoulder from above. The only ways I used to do it was a single mic pointed just above the sound hole or one pointed at the body and one at the neck... and I was doing that wrong anyway. I was pointing my condensers like they were dynamics with the ends pointing at the guitar like a dum dum instead of straight up and down. lol
Thanks. It has been bookmarked.

Great stuff! Thanks for the thorough comparisons and the great photos. This is definitely worth a look if you haven't done so yet! Thanks Cake! Maybe a similar article on mic placements on cabs next?

To me, #3 sounded the richest and fullest. I'd think you could EQ your way to any texture you would want from that setup. I am guessing the key is that the left mic (facing the player) has an opportunity to pick up some of the resonance emitting from the body and a lot of the strumming sound.

Near perfect layout! See the pic. Hear the audio, while reading the abstract. Only improvements I can think of MIGHT be either a slightly smaller pic, so average monitor resolutions would allow my eyes to refer back to the pic while reading the overview, possibly a horizontal layout, pic beside a column of text, or a second thumbnail pic with the text, and... A link to a more detailed article on the technique. You have the formula....fine tune it, and then make us a WHOLE BUNCH of these! Vocals, drums, (each drum), electric guitar, EQ, compression, verb, mastering....you know. You could change history, with Cakewalk at the center of it by default. If not...well..thaks VERY much for this one anyway!

Interestingly enough, I also liked # 9 - two dynamics.
Great article!
