Timely content, for sure. I'm just beginning to do exactly what you have described here. I have a Focusrite 2i2, an SM58 and a Macbook. And a sweet Taylor 410 CE Ltd.-Koa! Spending so much time at home lately means more practice time and I've come to the place where I want to learn how to record, maybe stream with my friends, etc. I love your reviews and the way you explain things. Hopefully you could put together some more content taking this idea a bit further for those of us just starting out. Great lesson!

Ribbon/Dynamic a good fit for a Taylor for sure.
@toolteardown1
The Line Input method sounds actually really good.

I've done a lot of coaching in my life... Hockey, baseball, golf, and I've used video taping to help young players observe their own game. This is right down the same path of seeing (hearing) what you're doing right or wrong, and a good instructor can turn a mediocre player and infinitely improve their game... If the player wants to improve.

This is easily the most resourceful introduction to recording at home I’ve seen.Thank you very much😊

Hey Chris, This is incredibly helpful! Yeah, I started down the rabbit hole but luckily got out quickly, albeit after spending a fair amount. I wanted to mostly thank you for your explanation of "Gain Staging." I've heard this mentioned many times before but always in a way that assumed the listener knew what it was. Your explanation was very clear and now I feel like I have a better idea of how to use it and understand what I need to watch out for. Thank you! Now, back to the rabbit hole ...
@GaryMeadowsMusic
Great advice, Performance, and a quality instrument are number one and two.

9:00 Lol unplugging the refrigerator solved my two hour hunt for a mystery hum. Condenser mics will pick up absolutely everything.

Very cool video Chris. Man, I was slightly surprised at how good the direct from the Expression system sounded. Thanks, John Gig Harbor, WA
@ricodeco2139
thank you for taking the time to make this simple and informative video.
@sbolfing
Nice, informative video - easy to understand how to get started. I have only been recording with my phone, simply because I didn't really know where to start, and now I do. Thanks!
@Pick-a-finger
A really good introduction. Thank you from London (UK )
@davideagle2223
Most helpful video I have found as I struggle with my first DOW. Thanks
@ronstanding6126
What a great video. I taught sound reinforcement and recording at a college for 22 1/2 years. Everything you say is right on. I watch this to learn how to teach. I learned and applied everything you talk about to real-life music long ago. You are a great teacher.
@dancolley4208
The first requirement is that I would have to be able to play well enough to warrant making a recording !!!
@kk-px7lu
I liked the dynamic, good option for a starter mic.
@dennisscanlin1458
Very nice comparison of the different recording inputs
@billhallsongs
