Drop D Waltz

[BAG]

The wife was reading a book last night so I put on the headphones, plugged in the MBR and a couple of hours later this was the result. I think there's a bit i want to do to this one eventually......but i'm not sure what yet.

Keep working in this it could turn out to be very good just add some vocal and it will be excellent.

Beautiful playing its begging for a vox I can hear Wiley in my head

[Bluesberry]

Beautifully played and beautifully recorded.  The acoustic sounds so clear and good.  Was this 2 tracks? Onboard mic?  I am very curious because it sounds so good, I am inspired to try something like this myself.  Very good playing and composition.

It was recorded using a Sony ECM-DS70P external mic plugged directly into the MBR which was then sat on my knee only about 4-6inches from the sound hole.

The rhythm was done using a Cort full bodied dreadnought with the input Sensitivity set at  +0dB and reverb at zero. The lead was done with a cheap Kimex brand acoustic (i bought this years ago so i had a guitar at my parents house whenever i visited). It is a shallow bodied cutaway with a bit of a "tinny" sound. I had the Sensitivity set at +2dB and reverb at zero.

The effects were set on P01:Flat. The only thing done in the mastering was using the "Live" mix and setting the lead reverb on 36 and the rhythm on 24 if i remember correctly.

As you see.....all pretty raw and basic. But that's what i like about acoustic stuff.

Glad you liked it. As i say, there's a bit i'd like to try...i'll see how the 12 string goes when i get it back. I'd like to try some distorded guitar in a few places however i don't own an electric and the acoustic with the grungy lead effects just don't seem to sound right to me. Any ideas from others on this would be appreciated.

Thanks Kody. I got the mic for Aus$17 delivered from ebay. You should get it for only around $10 in the US.

Wow that was great!  I bought one of those same mic's when I bought my Br. I haven't tried it yet as the onboard  seems to do so well.  But you have really captured a clear clean sound.  Maybe I will try it sometime.

I have to agree with Bluesberry, beautifully recorded and beautifully played. Great job, thanks for telling us how you did it.

Cheers,
