Just get a decent mic and use the input on your soundcard. That works well enough.
I buy top-end gear, so you don't wanna pay attention to me. Like, MOTU type of stuff.
I am very interested in the guitars you buy. The forum has an appraisal section. I am fully qualified to appraise. I've done some here and on Voat, but none ever made it to the forum. There's also a marketplace on the forum.
Don't PM me with 'em. Share 'em in the guitar thread - if you want. We like pictures!
Also, don't worry about the quality of the recording. Really...
And, if you do use a phone, don't put the phone close. Stick it at least 10' away, hit record, and just edit out the white noise/pre playing stuff with Audacity. We don't actually have high standards!
That just might be the problem. Putting the phone too close. Huh. I'll give it a shot, thanks.
Phone mics are intentionally actually pretty sensitive. They filter some of it out when you make a phone call (parts of the spectrum aren't carried through) but the recording software on them has no such things like automated noise reduction and normalization.
