ProRec: Studio Notes: Recording a Vocalist Playing Acoustic Guitar:
You know the scenario. Trying to record a singer who plays guitar inevitably results in a bad vocal track, a bad guitar track, or both. Here's an application where the right mic made the track.

ProRec: Fix it in the mix:
When I was first starting out as a musician, I was blown away by even small recording studios.
The studio where my band was cutting its teeth was a little garage operation. The owner had converted the utility room and garage into a control room and a studio. This was pre-ADAT, with a 16-track digital recorder, a 24x16 mixer, a couple of DATs, some standard rack effects (DBX compressors, Eventide Harmonizer, Yamaha reverbs, etc.), and a few decent mics.
The problem with the studio was that the recording space was dead. Dead-dead-deadsky. Over a foot of fiberglass insulation and sandbags had eaten the life right out of the room. The Yamaha piano, normally a bright instrument, sounded limp. You couldn't get a guitar to feed back. The drum booth, about the size of a phone booth, was too small to allow the full tone of the kick drum to develop, and the cymbals would just kill you.
Of course the point of all that insulation and sandbagging was to keep the sound out of the neighborhood. It worked. Metallica could have loaded their entire PA into that room and be completely inaudible outside. Hell, it would have been almost inaudible inside! ...
