Lessons of My Life

[The Gobi Desert Canoe Club]

Don't really know much about the accoustic side of things, normally there's fret buzz and all sorts of farting noises when I try it. However this sounds pure class to me. Top notch.............Willie

A real pleasure to sit back and listen to this.
Beautiful reflective, mellow mood, and the guitar and vocals are lovely.

Oh this is just the business. I didn't hear the original mix, but I imagine I might have said the same as others... this sounds superb now.

On the vocal - what was the mic? (Has the BR800 got an internal condensor, are you using that?)

What I'd suggest is looking into ways of suppressing "pop". I use a pop shield (I used to use an old stocking over a wire coat hanger!) but I still have to watch what I'm doing. Experiment with singing sideways to the mic -that reduces the danger of popping, you can even live without a shield. Try both sides, most of us have extra sibilants (s noises) coming out of one side or the other - choose the side that has least. It's quite difficult not to move into the mic as you're performing, so I set up a dead mic that I sing "into", and put the live mic off to the right.

Anyway, I don't know whether the vocals were louder on the first mix, but I'm more than happy with the vocal level on this one (but then I likes me vocals loud )
