Tips for recording your guitar at home

Check your gear

Ensure your guitar is in tune and free of unwanted noise or signal issues.

Mic placement

Use a close-positioned cardioid dynamic mic on your amp, experiment with mic placement, and consider adding a condenser room mic for ambience.

Use an audio interface

Connect your mic to an interface, ensuring the signal stays below -10dB to avoid clipping.

Experiment with techniques

Try different pickup settings, chord variations, and playing styles to capture the best performance.

Layer tracks

Double-track and pan your guitar parts for a fuller, wider sound, but remember to keep the performances tight to avoid muddiness.

Clean up the mix

Use a noise gate to reduce unwanted noise, apply EQ to fit the guitar in the mix, and use subtle reverb or delay for depth.
