That's totally cool, and I get it. You like guitars and amps. Recording is not something you get jazzed up about and that's fine. It's not a matter of the recording not being "good enough" or anything like that though.
All I'm saying is that by recording your gear with a phone whose camera is facing the amp and/or the player (which means the mic is facing the floor and
only capturing room reflections), you're only really showing people that you have X gear and that you like playing through it, because aside from that, you're only displaying what that stuff sounds like
when recorded extremely poorly and with a cheap mic, from across the room. You're not showing people what it sounds like mic'd in the traditional sense
or "in the room."
Again, you do you man. If all you want to show people is that you have gear and that you're having a good time playing through it, all good. Go nuts.
You don't have to dress in your sunday best to go to Sears and you shouldn't feel like you have to rent studio time to post casual guitar clips online or whatever.
My main issue is mostly with people who post stuff that is presented in a scientific way, like "amp shootout - amp A vs B" or "JCM 800 tone test," and then record it with a cell phone that's just sort of thrown down in some random spot in the echoey concrete garage.
That's the waste of time I'm talking about.
Especially if you live in a tile bathroom the size of an apartment.
