Not great My stomach issues has arisen again 
 
Also been trying to record my acoustic guitar, using a mic and preamp.
A bit noisy around here nowadays to get any proper results, but cool to try.

Sorry to hear about the stomach issues.....hope the symptoms get resolved soon.
 
What about plugging in the acoustic directly? (I have to do that as there's too much background noise in my house to mic anything)

I have done this in the past, but wanted to see what differences there is between using a mic, versus the internal mic system.
I feel after trying a little, that there is quite a difference in "the weight" of the sound.
He (Manuel) sounds great with new strings, and the internal pickup system cannot quite capture that.

Absolutely!! I also noticed the tones are much thinner sounding. That's the downside of plugging in.....I generally EQ it slightly (with care) as to not alter the sound. Of course, nothing to replace the full bodied sound of the wood.

I put the original Mike way, and used my HIGH END Røde NT1A, through my LA610 to capture it 
But it sounded NICE
