Rhett Shull | 1 year ago

Learning how to record guitar can be intimidating, when I was starting to record guitar in my home studio it took me years of bad results and experimentation to figure out what worked and what didn't. Microphones were one of the hardest things to wrap my head around, what are the differences between Dynamic, Condenser and Ribbon mics? Which microphone should I buy? Where should I place the mic on the speaker? This is a beginners guide to recording guitar at home, today we're focusing on microphones, how they work, the different types and how to use them to record great guitar sounds in your home studio.
