How to record Acoustic Guitar and Vocals at the same time?

Forums

Hi there!

I'm completely new to recording. I searched for forums on Google about mics and recording and found this site...

I have a Blue Yeti microphone and that's all. I need to be able to record my guitar (unplugged) and vocals at the same time with a decent sound. I tried previously but my guitar was too loud and my vocals were too quiet.

Lots of talk regarding ribbon mics these past few weeks, I thought I'd post an audio example of the sound of a ribbon on my voice.

I chose to write a track that would be reminscent of when these mics were used in their heyday - kind of a jazzy/pop standard thing.

For this track, I borrowed an RCA 44BX for the vocals on this one.

Preamp was a Grace Model 101.

Static when recording vocals

Forums

So I bought a 200 dollar mic, forgot the brand at the moment and an interface which I forgot too. It's something 8 something fx. But when I'm not recording, I can hear the voice through the speakers and it sounds amazing clear and everything but when I record or have the computer set up to rcord, there's aa static in the background and there's a delay... Same when I hook up guitar.
