Do you prefer Inline under-saddle pickups or pure micing techniques or even a combination of both.
What type of EQ do you prefer and in which software group ? ex: Shelving,parametric,Q ? Sonitus maybe ?
What effects do you use ?
Just trying to get some ideas on what more to try on my acoustic and although I get a really decent sound just wondering how all of the rest of you do it. Sorry if this has discussed in depth before.

I prefer the mic in the room and in front of the guitar about 12" or so. The pickups on acoustics are generally not very realistic so a good condenser mic, properly placed wins the day.  You need to experiment with placement to see what works best. 12" to 18" over the 12th fret is a good starting point for a single mic. Dual mics...also mic the body near the sound hole but not in too close.
 
As far as EQ and compression, only use what you need. Nothing more, and nothing "just because"....
 
FX.... nope. I will record it twice and pan it for a doubled thicker sound.
 
That's "in a nut shell" on how I record acoustic.

Yep. I put the mic at the 12th fret also, and usually angled slightly towards the sound hole. As far as eq, I usually cut some of the mid around 800Hz or so, and an HP filter around 100Hz. I usually use the quad curve eq. I usually double track also, and maybe add a hint of reverb, depending on the song.

Under saddle as last resort.

Two small diagram condensers is best. One for strings fingers and treble.
One for bass, body sound.

A well placed large diaphragm can work too. No phase problems that way.

Gonna have to try that with the condensor Not sure I can double track or do you guys mean clone track. This is a fingerpicking piece and I can get close but not sure how exact on a double track. Also do you use the Sonitus eq or do you use an external .
What about a mic pre also or just straight up condensor.
Certainly appreciate all the tips and will try all of them.

You want a little difference between the two tracks. That's where the magic happens. You don't want it completely different, but just enough to make it sound big.

K thanks Leadfoot I'll experiment with it ! :)
 
I may even post an mp3 and let you all tell what you think or what direction to go with it.

Good luck with it!

I spent a day positioning mics and settled on a single 57 at a 45 degree angle toward the sound hole from the bridge at about 8 in. However I got up at 3 am I think it was and ran direct into my audio interface and hit the play button. When I got up I compared what I had recorded during the day and that night and decided to go with the direct in cut. The mic version had more presence but the line in had a clean round tone. I put a doubler from the vocal strip I think and left it at that. If you want to hear it click on Songs and go to Every Breath You Take. The EQ is flat
 
P.S. if I was going to just record strumming I'm sure I would use the mic.

A 57 is not the right microphone for a clean guitar sound.  Micing an amp, sure, but not for acoustic.  Even a cheap MXL SDC would do a better job.   Use two, record stereo.
