Hello:

I would like to process a clean electric guitar to simulate an acoustic guitar. I thought that I could do this using the acoustic mirror function. What I planned to do was to put a pickup in my acoustic guitar and record a note, with the pickup as the "test tone" and the miced signal as the "space signal".

Has anyone done this or have worked with the acoustic mirror function? Thanks!

You would be better off trying some EQ along with a very slight amount of chorus, flange and/or other process to 'simulate' the acoustic guitar sound.

Ok, my original idea did not work. I could not get SF to recognize the pickup track as a test tone.

So I played the 24 sec test tone from the CD ROM while I stuck an SDC mic into the cavity of my acoustic guitar. I had to sync up the tracks because there was a few msec delay. After performing the recover function in Acoustic Mirror, I got a file that I could process the electric guitar track with.

If anyone is interested, I'll post a before and after clip.
