      I've just gotten a new Maton EGB 808 artist and I have a pair of mics but I'm having a hard time getting my setup to sound really good and clear. In the past I've used FL Studio for recording audio but I know others here may prefer other DAWs. I know that you want two microphones evenly spaced on either side of the sound hole and I've heard people throw around words like "pan out", but I don't know how to do that. I know there is a little bit of reverb in Emil's sound, but I just don't know how it sounds so good and I would love even a reference about where to start to learn to get better at this stuff. I'm using this video as a template. I would definitely believe that some component of this comes down to individual artistic touches that are impossible to replicate, but I'm definitely missing something recording-wise as well.

      On a separate note, does anyone have tips for how to record audio and video at the same time? Are y'all just syncing it up after the fact?

        Hi there!

        I’m using two microphones, and usually it’s a couple of Neumann TLM 102.
        From there I go into a simple preamp/daw which is called steinberg UR44. I use an iMac with protools.
        When I record I have one mic around the 12th fret and one mic on the bridge.
        In any recording software program like protools or similar, you can pan the channels right and left - and I usually pan one mic around 35 to the left and 35 to the right.
        I do a simple eq mix where I usually cut a bit of bass and get rid of a couple of harsh frequencies in the upper midrange etc. maybe boost the highs a bit on the bridge mic.
        And I add reverb to both channels.
        Very simple recording process and I don’t do much at all really, just two mics and a bit of work with eq and then add reverb.
        Kind regards /Emil
