There’s a lot of expertise and good advice here already, but I do think that at least some of this search has to be attributed to player ability, and that focusing on creating more clarity in one’s playing (as opposed to recording) will have the biggest impact here. I have heard Doug, for example, recording into his Zoom in his laundry room and it sounded pretty **** good - all in the fingers.
So for me I would advocate working on creating that tone and clarity in the playing, and a lot of this (at least for me) comes from doing more listening of other players who achieve this and watching carefully what they do with both hands etc. Once you can hear it better you have a shot at playing it better (then recording it better..)
My 2c..
