(Acoustic guitar + vocalist here)
Apologies if it's been asked already. I know we're always told that a mix depends on the song you're playing and the vocals etc but as a busker myself in the past no matter what songs I played live it always sounded good (on the same EQ settings).
Why is recording so much different and Why do I find it so hard to record a simple acoustic + vocal track and making it sound professional or nice and crisp and wide without having it muddy and distorted. I acknowledge there are so many different ways to record and shape but surely there's a quick simple way to accomplish this
PS: THE 2000+ buttons in a DAW (I use studio one/little bit of ableton live) gives me fright and have no idea where to begin with plug-ins
