How To Record Acoustic Guitar With A Condenser Mic At Home (Full Tutorial)

In this video, I’m going to show you how to record acoustic guitar with a condenser mic, at home, to capture a professional, high-quality recording.

If you’re struggling with getting high-quality acoustic guitar recordings in your home studio then this is the video for you. A subscriber to the channel contacted me recently as he was struggling to capture a bright and clear recording of his acoustic guitar from home. So I thought I’d share with you my recommendations on how you can achieve this too.

This tutorial will be split into three parts. Firstly, I’ll go over the equipment you’ll need. I’ll give you mic recommendations (if you don’t already have a mic), room treatment, audio interface and everything else that you’ll need. Next, I’ll explain how to set everything up in your room to get you the best sound possible. And finally, we’ll record some acoustic guitar and you’ll be able to hear the results.

I’ll also drop in some extra tips at the end on how you can advance your setup further to get more flexibility with your recordings.

Now let’s get started!
