the glen johns technique is a method for recording drums which involves a combination of 4 stero microphones which is seen as a minimalistic about of microphones the first mic is a mono overhead which from this you would want a balanced sound from the snare toms and cymbals from one mic, the second mic goes to the right of the floor tom which is individual as they normally go over head. place the kick mic inside the drum or just outside it or with the snare place a few inches away from the rim angled across the snare after you’ve done this you can adjust it to create a balanced sound this is one of the most effective ways to record drums

often to recored with a condenser microphone however you can use a dynamic and after you decide which type of microphone to use you have to try to get the right distance from the guitar to the so its loud enough but not so loud it distorts you can also record record mono which is quick and easy to set up however recording stero adds more depth to the recording but introduces phasing issues.

to record electric guitar you should use a dynamic microphone and prop it up near the amplifier which should be close tho the amplifier again not so it distorts so you will need to find the right spot however you will need to know what amplifier you have because if it has two speakers you will have to change the way you record it to get the best sound

x and y technique for recording drums the x and y technique is defiantly one of the easiest ways to record drums you have to put the microphones diagonal across the bass drum and the snare once this is done place the over heads 5 foot up andas close as you can without them touching
