🎸 How to Record Acoustic Guitar: One Mic vs. Mid-Side vs. XY Stereo - Home or Studio Recording 🎤

In this video, we dive into three popular ways to record acoustic guitar: the simple One Mic technique, the versatile Mid-Side stereo method, and the natural-sounding XY Stereo setup. Whether you're a beginner looking to capture great sound quickly or an advanced producer wanting more control in the mix, this video will help you choose the right mic technique for your recording. If you're recording in a home studio, or even in a professional setting, understanding these techniques will elevate your sound. We will have direct comparisons: in the mix, solo’d and mixed, and raw recordings, recorded with the same guitar and mics so you can directly compare the mic techniques. Watch to hear the differences and find out which one works best for your setup!
