"Microphones are like flashlights." You, sir, are brilliant!

I really love this musician......he's really teaching what many good musicians like him are refusing to teach.......my God......what a human correct being

Just decided to search for a simple live streaming solution with the exact same mic. Tripped over this channel. The audio clarity of this video alone is incredible. Subscribed.

I have been looking for this for days ! I wanna keep it simple. Just mic vocals guitar and that’s all. This is it. Thanks man ! Thank you for this information. I wish you all the growth. Keep on putting such amazing stuff :)

last month i recorded a singer songwriter and we used one mic into a tascam tape recorder. great decision, the vibe was everything for those recordings

StumbleUpon just browsing KZfaq and this magnificent fella starts teaching me something I’ve been trying to learn for a long time lucky me I’m 70 so I need KZfaq And fellows like this guy I love it hope I live to 105

*THIS LESSON IS GOLD*

Very helpful. I like recording a vocal and guitar at the same time because that’s how I write songs.

Been watching this channel for a long time. This song is REALLY good. I'm feelin' this one Graham.

So helpful! Thanks for sharing your knowledge, very professional delivery!

Thanks Graham! I loooooooove your videos! You are THE musician's friend, brother!

Great tip, Graham! Preparing to make some scratch tracks and this will make it so much easier!

Thankyou so much thank god there are people online who make things easier but with amazing results

I find it soothing how he enunciates and articulates words =)

This is an excellent video. Exactly what I was searching for!

That sounds amazing!

You just answered to my questions, I love your channel!

Thanks for the tip! I totally needed this!! I have a twitch live music stream on April 11 and I needed to find a way to have my mic record both my voice and my guitar. Great job!! 👍👍🔥

Than you. You ways of teaching is fabulous. Your strumming and vocal love that

oh what a great video this is! thank you soo much! this advice is exactly what I needed I've been using the Scarlett Studio solo for almost a year now, have experimented with recording guitar+vocals into one channel, as well as separately to get a more balanced sound, cause I was never all too satisfied with the sound quality of recording it all into one mic. so now I'm excited to take your advice. :)

This is what i was looking for exactly.. Recording guitar and singing at the same time. Ty..love from india❣️

This was so useful for a self taught producer like myself. Absolutely love the Incubus style of this song. Thank you!

I LOVE that song! Nice vid, Graham!

Looking to finally upgrade and start building a setup - thanks for the tips!!

thanks, very helpful. I must say I am also among those who like the first setup better, but I got the message that to adjust volumes you need to adjsut the mic distance too not positioning alone.

Great video, very informative. Looking forward to the mix/processing video!

love how you make it so easy

great vocals too man!!! thanks for this!

Are we going to ignore his performance? So damn good! 🖤

this is a high quality lesson. god bless u bro!

Okay you're smart, good looking and captured my attention well with your perfectly thorough simple explanation. I'm a singer looking to record piano and vocals at the same time. Subscribed. 💎💜

Amazing video. Amazing channel. I'm so grateful!

Thank you. It's very good and simple instruction.

Good video, told me exactly what I came for. Good presenter too, none of the annoying over enthusiasm you get on a lot of similar videos. Thanks.

Fantastic vocal! Good originals!

I really love your work...thanks man

I love doing this! I've tried it a few different ways, but most recently used my rode nt2a with a close sm57 for a bit more body to the guitar. I find playing this way captures more feeling from my performance. I just recorded a cover of Audioslave's Like A Stone this way and I'm really happy with the results. Looking forward to hearing more of your tips on this.

ANOTHER great vid!! Thanks Graham!!

I love the first sound the most :) at 3:44 but you only need a popfilter 👌😃

rocking it graham... nice tune

amazing voice and tutorial

Thank you so much for these videos 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

Great vid man, thanks a bunch

thanks for this video - helped me a lot!

good info! I tried this on my channel and it worked great

I love this. Thanks Graham. It really gets to the heart of recording songs that makes sense to me. The notion of somehow recording a drum "track", then a bass track, then a guitar etc. just seems contrived. Certainly, I do understand overdubs and that but to capture the energy of a performance you need the "performance" to be there first. So much "musak" sounds too mechanical to me and therefore less appealing. I like to hear that vibe or groove from the players playing which is the only thing I would comment on about trying to be your own band. Without the OTHER players interacting together it loses that creative spark that USED to be the hallmark of great music. When you heard the Temptations or The Who it was that "sound," that interaction in the blending of the musical talent and inventiveness that created those songs. People now seemed more focused on recording technique and creating new sounds or plug in usage than actual songwriting and "hitting the note" that the Allman Brothers used to talk about. It's hard to put emotion into a perfectly timed, perfectly tuned medium. It's just not human. It would be like trying to paint a Picasso from a paint by numbers kit. So keep up the good work Graham your info really helps make the process easier and more natural. Peace Brother!

Hey Graham! Thanks for consistently quality content! I am rewatching right now the 5 minutes to a better mix - ROUND 2 - from 2012, and I have a question about that intro music. I love that snare, it's so snappy and crisp and powerful, I wonder if some day you could do a thorough tutorial on processing a snare like that. Or maybe you already did and I just overlooked it among all the videos

This is just awesome. Good song too

Great video.....Epic Teaching..

This is exactly what I am looking for thank you :)

thanks, downloaded, all works!

Well done, Graham!

Thanks Graham! You're awesome!

Thanks Graham, very useful video!

You are so helpful! Thanks for this video :)

This was really helpful thank you

Thanks for these kind of videos... Really good content... New subscriber here

New viewer here, man this is awesome stuff! These videos directly address every question I have about recording and building my own studio. Thank you so much! Are those Rockit monitors I see in the background?

Really it helped me to understand . Thankyou

Wow it's not often I get to a video this early! Thanks as always for the great content Graham :)

Thank you for this one 👍🏼

a good quick suggestion for the common bedroom singer/acoustic recording. the room echo was what I heard in this video, it increased as the singing got louder which makes sense. great stuff... fix the room some more, one mic and placement can work!

Goooddddd...thank you so much. Looked at all over youtube. You are the man dude. Now how do I mix it with video? Iphone?

Very useful! God bless you! 🙌

this is sweet sir. thank you so much

Great video, as always! And I love the song you're playing, what's the name of the it?

I have all these devices and equipment already so I can start doing this now!

That song is sick. Also, awesome video.

Most usefull video i ever see...

fantastic video thank you so much

I've stumbled on a good mix using a small Samson desktop USB mic sitting on my desk so it's guitar level, but I point it up toward my face. I started out doing it just out of convenience to catch an idea quickly, but I like the results. I agree with those saying the first take with the mic closer to the mouth was better. Good info in this video though.

Graham you're the man! I'm going to buy a Rode nt1a!

Just curious, do you still need to use a pop filter for recording both vocals and guitar at the same time?

is it just me or was the balance of the first try, with the mic closer to the mouth better? I fell like the voice is a little quiet with the Final mic placement...

Thanks for sharing.

Thank you for the great video.

awesome video!

Super useful! The song has a really incubus like vibe btw! Was wondering do you have a recommendation for a decent budget mic for an out door performance? One guitar, one singer but shot outside in a quiet park. Will bring a laptop and audio interface along too but not sure what mic would be idea for this. Thanks!

This goes back to early studio engineering. Placing everything in correct position to the mic when more than one source is recorded. Although I'd probably do a 2 mic recording so each source can be balanced. This video is very good if you're only limited to one mic..

Thorough video!

Hey Graham, really like the step by step instructions, right from the beginning of the process to the end. Just wondered, when you were moving the mic further away, would you be adjusting the gain on your interface for a stronger signal?

The second channel of focusrite 2i2 is very low. I think I have to use this technique

Yes!! Love you man!

Thank you for this video.. now i know how to record it with only condenser microphone

Very helpful advice! Thank you. would love to see recording tips for singer songwriters using iphone

Helpful video. I am going to help an artist record their acoustic album and I've only ever recorded rap vocals I'm not familiar with this style.

awesome thanks Graham!

Another good lesson****

Very very useful

Awesome video thanks alot for the tips and the free book on recording. Does it matter if the Mic is upward or upside-down or if at that distance of a foot away does it matter if you use a pop filter or not?

I love Graham's shirt!

Hey, thank you for such a helpful video! and you got a badass voice! are you using any other plug ins? I was doing the same thing, for a youtube cover. Throughout the whole figuring out process i was getting fed up because im using a focusrite i, Logic, and an ST55, but your volume is sooooo solid. Mine isnt like that at all. I have to assume its mic placement but also may a really nice freaking mic you have, and lastly, that im on a 2 floor thats open and leading downstairs.

Thaaaank you! Finally a very good explanation! I am trying to record voice and ukulele with a single condenser (usb) but no phantom… fingerstyle and strumming in the same song… it’s hard… voice is light and soft… almost impossible with my fifine mic

Great stuff !!... one thing m still not good with is... in making vocal presence over the beat... or making voice quality more close to pro. ....can you pls tell me ?!?!?

Brilliant thank you

Hi Graham, fantastic video... thank you so much.. could you help me with a list of what I need to buy for a little home studio please. All assets , price and link if possible please. I have two new song I just wrote on guitar and will like to produce it

Hey Man. I love your vids! I have a taylor 810 (its a dreadnought) do u think i should get a smaller body guitar like the one u use for these kind of recordings?

Great video! hope you can make a video of mixing this track

Nice! Could you do a video in the future like this for keyboardists who want to get that organic flow and sound as well when they play and sing?
