How do I isolate vocals and guitar to their specific microphones?

hi, not title try exlplain further here.

 

i using audition cs6 multiple mic inputs, 2 mics precise, 1 pick acoustic guitar , 1 pick vocals. using multi-track mode , assiging each mic own track. reason being because want use post editing on both guitar track , vocal track individually.

the problem using 2 condenser mics both mics pretty picking same makes post editing tracks individually impossible.

i understand both mics going pick abit of don't want to, eg, mic guitar going pick vocals aswell, there has way can minimise this. after don't want record guitar , vocals seperately.

 

any appreciated.

 

thanks

it depends large extent on microphones.

 

most condensers these days cardioid pick pattern means there's strong pick from front , reduced 1 rear.  being case, make use of pattern when positioning mics--have guitar mic higher normal , pointing down @ guitar area less pickup pointing @ mouth.

 

do reverse vocal mic null side of mic pointing @ guitar.

 

obviously applies cardioid mics--if have omnis, not can do.

 

second, make use of fact sound follows inverse square law--get vocal mic near mouth possible , other 1 near guitar.

 

finally, don't mention you're using interface make sure things routed each mic isolated 1 track only.

 

having said that, clean recordings, i'll guide track both voice , guitar, go , record 2 elements again separately.
