i have as basic of a setup as it gets...definitely willing to upgrade my stuff, just don't know where to start and am overwhelmed by the amount of info. i just want good sounding recordings of solo guitar stuff, both good acoustic and for my amp.

what i used on this...a sm57 about 8" from the center of one of the speakers (2x10"), a shure mic that plugs into your iphone that got some acoustic stuff. i used audacity and some video editor app to combine the sound and video files...it's a blend of acoustic and amp (more amp tho). high and low pass filters, no EQ adjustments post or anything tho. the speakers i tested on were crappy laptop speakers, jbl studio monitors, a bluetooth speaker, a big powered speaker and my phone.

1. is this a good recording? it sounded different on all the speakers...good on some, really bad on others. like how am i supposed to know if anything sounds good if there's not much consistency?

2. if it sounds this different in quality, is it something im doing wrong in terms of setting up the recording?

im not looking to reinvent the wheel here...it's just this guitar is freaking sweet and i wanna make it sound good.
