To be honest I'm still trying and working to get good acoustic sounds like this for a song I wrote.

Thanks, Colly. It is not hard to get good clean acoustic guitar sounds out of BIAB. I generally treat them all the same - in this case, a Brent RT that starts the song, then the standard fingerpick takes over after a couple of measure and the strum gets added in to provide the texture I wanted. They are all exported out of BIAB dry, centered and at full volume. Then in my DAW (Studio One) I add just an EQ. Using that, everything below 100 is dropped. That helps keep the low end from getting muddy. Then I add a small bump around 500 - maybe 2 dB - and a shelf on the high side above 2kHz - a couple of dB... That makes the acoustics crisper and they cut through the mix nicely. If you solo them, they might seem a little thin - but in the mix, they do what they need to do...
