Just Bought A 12 String

11. I've Got A Tascam...

...16 track direct to hard drive console. All the A/Ds are internal. I don't recall the specs.
It records at 48.4kHz, 16 bit. That part I remember.
I'm going to stick with distant miking to start because I want to see if room sound helps.
The DI will give me crispness & texture.
If it doesn't work, I'll try your double close mic idea.
I've gone through the trouble of multi miking a piano. Having a mic 8 or 10 feet away made a difference. That was, however, the 6th mic. Big PITA. If I record piano now, I just use digital. Not as good, but way simpler. I'm not recording a magnum opus. Just messing around
