Learning how to get a good setup for microphone. On melo test I realized that recording through the acoustic guitar's preamp sounded horrible. Recording this way doesn't pick up any of the nuances of the guitar vibrations. I only had a Shure BG5.1 condenser mic to use but sounded a hundred times better.
Sweet spot was about at the sound hole and fretboard about 10 inches away or more depending on how dynamic performance is, Used Walden d610ce with Solid Engelmann Spruce top. Preamp sounds horrid for recording. A lot of computer noise in background. I suppose using a laptop instead will fix this issue. I lot of clipping when trying to find acoustic sweet spots. Very boomy when playing bass notes on acoustic. Must position mic further away for the heavier sounding and hitting parts. Must install a brick wall to protect new monitors.
