a nice article i found on the internet the reason y am listing the article here is coz the dude has included clips at various stages of processing to get that polished pro sounding tone compare the first and the last clip ... feel the amazing difference https://www.guitarnoise.com/article.php?id=346 anyway the article is a nice manual on what to do while recording at home (that too without microphone)
ok ... so i am gonna add even more to it now ... chcek this: this also does about the recording bit - how to go about setting up the equipment and recording ... especially the Mic placement and EQing : https://www.tabcrawler.com/articles.php?action=readarticle&articleid=80
anotha excellent site: https://industrial.org/gear/index.html with special emphasis on https://industrial.org/gear/chapter1.html : which deals with microphones and https://industrial.org/gear/chapter2.html : dealing with the actual instance of recording (awesome)
another one ... this one not of the same quality as the above links ... but it deals with some thigns like bouncing n punching tracks ... that is not coevred in the above site https://www.tabcrawler.com/articles.php?action=readarticle&articleid=85
