Getting Started with Your GuitarVision Session

Step 1: Setting Up Your Recording Space

CAMERA SETUP

 

Use your smartphone or webcam for recording.

 
  • Ensure the camera is stable; a tripod or stable surface works best.
  • Position the camera to capture both your hands and the guitar.

 Lighting:

 

  • Choose a well-lit area. Natural light is ideal; if not, use lamps to brighten the space.
  • Avoid harsh shadows on your face and hands.

Step 2: Ensuring Clear Audio

Room Selection:

 

  • Choose a quiet room to minimize background noise.
  • Close windows and doors to reduce external sounds.

Microphone Setup:

 
  • If using a smartphone, ensure the microphone is not covered.
  • External microphones can improve audio quality if available.
