guitar player due in at the weekend. Think the best way to record is to plug the guitar into a line in channel on my Mackie then get another jack and go from the direct output straight into my Mixmaster. Outta the Mixmaster via its spdif and into the digital input of my souncard. The best recording path?

How about compression while recording - should I go for around 3 db of Mixmaster compression or leave it off?

Would you eq it while recording or just cut 80 hz a bit?

Any guitar recording tips or tricks?

yep. except with acoustics, that's usually one of those piezo pickups which is ok if you wanna amplify it for a gig but recording you'll get a more real sound sticking the mic out in front. if you're borrowing/renting there's some other things to try besides a shure stage vocal mic.

i've got a bridge pickup in my acoustic which i had fitted. There's no way it shows the quality of the guitar even 10%. Mic's the way to go for sure, Mind you, those Takamines have a good system, they sound not bad, but still a mic' is way better
