Topic: acoustic instrumentals (0 replies, posted in Your Recordings)

These are a couple of tunes that are being used on hunting videos as back round music. They were played on a Guild GF 60 acoustic guitar. The microphone was an AKG 2000C. The recording was done on a analog reel to reel 1/2" tape.

thanks for listening,
Glenn

Re: Les Paul or Strat (15 replies, posted in Guitars)

There are major differences between the 2 guitars.The sustain from the Les Paul comes from the arched maple top.The humbucking pickups are 2 single coils wound together which cancels the hum.The glued on jointed neck of the Paul creates different sound characteristics of the bolted on Strat neck.The Strat has 3 single coil pick ups and with a simple jumper wire on the pick up selector switch you can share the lead pick up with one of the tone controls.Everything heads toward personal choice and the kind of music you're playing.The Strat can be used with multiple effects and the original sound of the instrument still remains.The Strat tremolo unit is a marvel invention and is still one of the best units to this day.

This song was written in 1997 and we recently recorded a new version.The reel to reel tape added a lot of warmth.We tried a bass guitar track but the idea was cancelled.

Re: Recording vocals (10 replies, posted in Recording / Studio)

You can try a voice screen pop filter.They're very inexpensive.you can even make your own out of a coat hanger and a ladies nylon pantyhose stocking

I set up my condenser mic ready to record some vocals.
What I found is that the mic is so sensitive, it makes such a difference if you move even a fraction closer to it or further away so the recording isnot consistent in levels.
So I am assuming that I should be using a compressor as an input to smooth those levels?
Can anyone point me in the right direction?
Cheers
