In Reply to: Classical guitar - pickup or mic? posted by JayM on November 1, 2002 at 05:57:46:
The big question is are you recording or amplifying?Recording, the only way to go is mic. Live however, you often have to settle for a pickup begause of the acoustic gain issues...
Pickups -be they piezo/ceramic (including contact pickups) or magnetic always sound significantly worse. No solo acoustic guitarist EVER records a solo guitar project using a pickup.
I think that about sums it up for me!
Microphone wise, how much is your budget, and what type of equipment are you going to plug it in to? -No point getting a phantom-powered condensor if you don't have a preamp that can drive it with phantom power...
