Taylor ES2 system works quite nicely and you can get nice sounds using Axe FX 3 and there is presets that other made in https://axechange.fractalaudio.com/.I guess I could have mentioned that from the start! I was thinking around $300ish but I didn't have much experience with mics since I've always gone direct with electrics and rarely record acoustic. I'm going to experiment a bit this week running my Taylor direct into the AX3. Maybe track down a good IR see how that turns out..maybe do the job well enough for my needs and down the road i can do proper mic'ing setup , by the sounds of it, for less than $1000

But real microphones are also very good and now days there is so much variety of them.
I made one quick clip about my new Taylor GS Mini-E and recorded using only one microphone AustralianAudio OC16.
(Usually I use two microphones but wanted to know what kind sound comes out using only one). I recorded using OBS
Studio https://obsproject.com/ (added that black border with Vegas Pro)
Playing is not good but maybe you get idea how it sounds
This. You'll get pretty much the best live acoustic tone you could hope for.If you have the III, borrow a good mic from a friend or local studio and shoot tone matches of the piezo/mic sound to make an IR.
Use the mic as reference and piezo as local source and you’ll be amazed at the results. A little smoothing and you’re golden!
True, I’ve done that with my Parker. But there’s something special about TMing your own.This. You'll get pretty much the best live acoustic tone you could hope for.
Actually, you can tone match your guitar to any dry recorded guitar you like.
Beautiful recording. And great playing.Those microphone don't have to be expensive ones. Already Shure 57 and 58 are enough nice to get proper sound from
recording. The only thing is that you have to place them quite near your acoustic guitar to get sound enough loud and they are
more sensitive also how you move front of them, that's one reason ei bought other condenser microphone.
One example how Taylor 814 CE sound when recorded with two dynamic mircophone (Shure 57 and 58 SM)

Axe FX 3 it self is enough good as other said, using those IR. But even without IR you can get nice sound out.
One example just using Axe FX 3 without any IR, just base blocks and that's it.

There is also these kind equipments for acoustic guitars https://www.fishman.com/portfolio/aura-spectrum-di-preamp/
I had one before and they are also nice. Example you can load IR:s to that Aura-Spectrum-Di-preamp and they sounds
quite good. It's good we have so much choices
Maybe if possible it's good to test that Aura-Spectrum-DI-preamp too.
I have not had good luck doing this.This. You'll get pretty much the best live acoustic tone you could hope for.

i did? i don't own an acoustic guitar to try thatI have not had good luck doing this.
Have you successfully done this recently yourself?
I even went through it with @chris on one of his great youtube get togethers and he could not help me get it to work.
It just seemed the tone match works for amps but creating an IR for an acoustic? I dunno.![]()
You don’t remember the session where I demonstrated?i did? i don't own an acoustic guitar to try that![]()
Not recently. I tone-matched my electric acoustic with a miked Gibson nine or ten years ago. It's important to use a dry recording. No reverb or anything.I have not had good luck doing this.

No reverb on signals. Mic and acoustic’s piezo, electric guitar and dry guitar recording…can’t get it to work.Not recently. I tone-matched my electric acoustic with a miked Gibson nine or ten years ago. It's important to use a dry recording. No reverb or anything.
