Sounds cool. Your sound is more mid forward. The TP demos are more scooped. You’re also mellower now than the TP demos. The TP guitars also sound like they might be mic’d from above a little bit, firing down toward the guitar. Maybe even over and in front of your right shoulder as you’re playing. I gave this a shot and I really like how it turned out, thank you for the suggestion! I also did a little match EQ with the original just so I could understand what was going on a little better, then tried to mimic what the match EQ was telling me with some broader curves. Of course it's not exactly right but it's a great starting point if I'm ever recording something that needs this kind of treatment. Please excuse my crummy guitar playing. drive.google.com/file/d/1ovNBkarMQBuA2sDsaAs9m_ofW_5ws8uO/view?usp=sharingAnd then same kind of match EQ treatment in front. I didn't like this as much but not without its merits. drive.google.com/file/d/1Vw91bQa1s0iKlZ81IGsiMguJ4ZOuy6Tg/view?usp=sharingHow about a combination of both? This is really nice and starts to get into a lot of the layering that's on these demos: drive.google.com/file/d/1yDzRl6aPteWQ0QkKETlEfHQg5Nmz-dpP/view?usp=sharingThis was a fun way to spend a day and a half! Thanks to everyone who chimed in for all your comments and suggestions. This sounds cool, but it sounds like we've brightened up too much. Also, try picking a little closer to the bridge and a little further from the neck/soundhole.

This is nice! I prefer A, by a not huge margin. I like where the top end is sitting.

Thanks again for all the feedback! Would you believe A is the Oktava MK012, after trying out seven or eight other mics? I remembered I have a hypercardioid capsule and thought that might put a touch less room sound it - didn't A/B with the regular cardioid so it might not have made any difference. It also sounds a little more 3-D to my ears. B is still the m201, with a perfectly cromulent sound.

Wish I still had them.
