How do I use a condenser mic to record acoustic guitar?
I really want to get a condenser mic to record myself playing my acoustic. But I have no idea where to even start. Like do I plug the mic into my computer? And what recording software would you recommend?

Condenser microphones require phantom power, so you will at least need some sort of interface capable of providing that.
But short of the microphone and a proper audio interface, you don't need much else. Pretty much any interface you buy will come with some sort of recording software. The M-Audio Fast Track interfaces are pretty nice for the price. They certainly aren't high end, but they're a good cheap way to get into home recording.
