Hello i tried recording a fingerstyle guitar cover on youtube with my sony hd that costs $400 but it sounds like crap. How do i record a guitar cover with studio quality sound? i have lots of studi EQ and mixing software.
Answer
First priority is recording a good sound. You'd probably record this separately with one or two condenser microphones into an audio interface, and synch this with the video in a video editing program.
Using one mic is easy enough; using two mics is trickier. The AT2020 condenser mic works great on acoustic guitar. You could get the regular XLR connector version (AT2020) that plugs into an audio interface, or the USB version (AT2020 USB) that plugs straight into the computer.
AT2020USB: http://bit.ly/sq5N9O
Position it 6-12 inches above the 12th fret, with the diaphragm angled toward the sound hole. You could add a little stereo reverb in your sound editor to make up for it being just one mic. Two mics is a hassle so I don't recommend it.
If you do want two mics, then pick up two condenser mics and a good audio interface like the Roland Quad Capture (http://bit.ly/sS0oMR) -- you'll get better sound quality with an audio interface than with the USB version of mics. If you really want to go higher end, get a pair of oktava mk012 mics, and use an XY stereo mic'ing technique like these: http://www.homestudiocorner.com/stereo-mic-techniques/

This pack will have everything you need plus more. I think that this is the guitar i actually started with. Just be aware that in my experiences that acoustic has been harder to learn over electric. They also have the gigmaker standard. Only diffrence is a cheaper guitar and a diffrent video. In my experiences, yamaha acoustics have sounded great to me.
