<p style="margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0">Thanks to everyone all for the additional search tips! I admit, Antoine is a high bar to strive for but he always pulls off that huge sound. Here's another good example that seems to be the same configuration: <a href="https://youtu.be/icvVYAMd3yY" class="OWAAutoLink" id="LPlnk536735" previewremoved="true">https://youtu.be/icvVYAMd3yY</a> . </p>

<div class="PlainText"> So you want to sound like Antoine DuFour? :-)<br>
<br>
So in that video (if the mics are there for anything but show) it looks<br>
like the two condensors are set up in a Blumlein, which is a very cool<br>
stereo miking technique. He has a pickup in the guitar but who knows if<br>
he uses that for anything but performances.<br>
<br>
If he is using it there's going to be phase issues because that signal<br>
is going to arrive at the interface before the miked signals and you'll<br>
need to move the regions around.<br>
<br>
I have actually been a fan of Antoine's for a long time, and have seen<br>
most of his videos, and I am not sure his mic placement is where I would<br>
put them, but with recording, there is plenty of room for experimentation.<br>
<br>
Another stereo miking technique I use all the time on acoustics is the<br>
X/Y with a small and large condenser.<br>
<br>
If you google X/Y and Blumlein I am sure youtube will show you all<br>
sorts of examples of people using these techniques. One caveat is the<br>
blumlein requires two mics that can do the Figure 8 pattern. In an ideal<br>
world they should be the same model mic. I bought a pair of nice<br>
condensers specifically for this.<br>
