In this video, I break down how to record a singer-songwriter performance using a shotgun mic — an unconventional but surprisingly effective approach when done right. Shotgun mics are typically used for film and dialogue, but with smart placement, acoustic treatment, and a few recording tricks, you can capture clean, balanced vocals and guitar.
