In this video, I compare recordings using 1 mic (i.e., Mono), with recordings using 2 mics (i.e., Stereo). I recorded 4 riffs on acoustic guitar and did NOT apply any effects (e.g., EQ, Compression, ReVerb...). So you’ll be hearing the “raw” sound, as it was captured by the mics. And as far as treatment goes, in my home studio I have “Bass Traps” in the corners, and an acoustic blanket covering one wall.
