I'm curious what answers might rise to the top for the question; What would your mic choice(s) be for acoustic guitar, if you can't use a KM84 ?
One Schoeps cmc641. One MArtin D28S. regards, Ty Ford Hey, this is cool

Sounds nice. I'd dig one I think.

Do you remember which thread you posted those comparison clips in? I remember hearing those and thinking 'damn, that's closer than I would have thought'...but that was quite awhile ago. Several monitoring upgrades (for me) ago. I'd love to give them a fresh listen. I didn't post them... was just doing this yesterday... cheers Wiz Oh I meant years ago. I thought you posted a few comparison clips. Could be someone else's clips I'm thinking of.

Do you, or anyone else, have thoughts about the lite version versus the full one? Cheers, Geoff I have the full version and a real M7M... I compared them yesterday (have done this before)... the difference is substantial....for me... the bricsti is more alive and sounds way more like it's a real instrument in a real space.....the 7th heaven is good... The only other plug in I have ever heard that is like the bricasti in realness... is the recent sound city studios from UA. but its in reality one room. The 7th heaven sounds good... but it is no Bricasti.... cheers Wiz Do you remember which thread you posted those comparison clips in?

I kinda think of LS Seventh Heaven as being the de facto top-of-the-heap ITB reverb.

I used a Heritage OST-4 for years and it worked great. Only sold it because I went to a 10-slot unit. Did I buy it? I bought mine from someone here. It does exactly what it’s supposed to. I don’t think so? I sold it on Reverb.

LS Seventh Heaven in general. Or LS Reverberate 3 if I want to use specific IRs. Also love UAD EMT140 but haven’t had it for years. Got Pure Plate (or whatever the stripped down UAD140 is called) and use that a good bit.

API Vision channel strip has become a go-to for me, especially on drums and guitars.

Took me a minute to even figure out that this could be a monitors thing.

For what it’s worth, I’ve been using Auto Align (1) for years, and it’s indispensable to me on guitars and bass, but I’ve never liked it much on drums.
I get better results just flipping polarity and coming up with the phase relationships that sound best, rather then the AA thing of adjusting timing.

This thread makes me want to delete about 80% of my plug-ins.
I think limits are good for creativity and productivity.
My mom was a piano and voice teacher for many decades (she started teaching piano when she was a teenager). One exercise she would do with younger kids who were learning was to have them write a song. Just a melody, but something with repetition and some sort of melody/rhythm. They would often be totally stuck and unsure of what to do, where to start. So then she would say “ok, write a song using only these five notes” and suddenly they’d come up with all sorts of ideas.

what can I say, I don't think I need the extra slot!
now I want to go mix a record with only these 5 plugins. it's honestly not even like it would be hard or a stretch. it would probably be better. we have way too much shit at our fingertips these days.

FF Pro-Q3 FF Timeless 3 FF Saturn 2 FF Pro-C2 Liquidsonics Reverberate 3
It's funny, I didn't mean to make this a FabFilter fanboi list. I was thinking of one line/type of processor at a time and kept going "ok, if I only have one...then, FF 100%..." Reverberate 3 because I have tons of IRs from all kinds of reverbs and ambiences and you can sculpt them or just use them like a 'normal' IR host. You could do anything with it.

I use agave for sweetener. No cherry. Aromatic bitters. Generous orange twist. Sounds delicious to me! If we’re ever in the same spot, I’ll make us a couple 🥃

If I had more time I’d watch a bunch of ev33 videos. I like how he doesn’t cork sniff. Mixes with abandon. Wrangle the sound quickly into what you want with a tool that’s not fussy and gets the result, and move on.

I've been making Old Fashioneds out of the cheap stuff (Rittenhouse Rye, Old Overholt Rye). They're good though! I never buy anything too fancy or esoteric. Woodford Rye is one of my favorites. What bitters? sugar cube or syrup? What kinda cherry? I like using maple syrup sometimes... I use agave for sweetener. No cherry. Aromatic bitters. Generous orange twist.

I have really liked my Stam 3A (it's in the SA-23A+). It's my go to for tracking vocals. That said, I've never owned an original. And anytime I may have used them in the past, I was on the other side of the glass and not the one twiddling the knobs.
