The Hermit and ...Judy, medley John Renbourn tunes

[Jean Pierre]

I'm happy with Mike and Farell's questions.

One of SC's interests beyond the congratulations that are required is to exchange recording procedures at an amateur level...

That's why I post this post also in the "DAW and music Software" forum

- The DAW I use is REAPER from Cockos (Daw free or almost free!)
- for this John Renbourn tune I used my Martin 000 guitar (a good guitar...but not exceptional)

This Martin is purely acoustic, no integrated microphone, so I go through a microphone here a T BONE S 400, it's the one I had on hand (good condenser microphone... but not exceptional

The sound recording is monophonic with the microphone facing the guitar neck/guitar body junction, at about 30cm

You can hear on this extract (first musical sentence of "The Hermit") the sound recorded dry in the first part

...and the sound processed, only with VST Plugs in de Reaper (plugs in free too!)

For the acoustic guitar sound I have a chain of Fx that includes:

a Rea Tune (plug in that has an extremely precise tuner and an analoque tonal correction tool in Melodyne)
a Rea Fir (plug in FFT Eq by subtraction which allows to strongly modify the frequencies
a ReaEq (multiband equalizer)
a Reaverb (convolution reverb), the impulse convolution used is 1960 Taj Mahal Deep 6 (free convolution also)

I was digging around on the boards cuz I was bored...ha.. and I stumbled into your little bit about the recording.  This is fantastic and I enjoyed hearing about the recording process...and since it is instrumental festival i figured why not give this a bump... it certainly has beautiful merit.  My wife always asks me why I can't play like this and this kind of style... I just smile because I realize the acoustic is another whole and different instrument and I am infatuated with bass and electric...but that does not mean that I don't love acoustic because I do...

thank Stephen for this bump...I didn't remember recording this on SC (halzeimer?)

I realize the acoustic is another whole and different instrument and I am infatuated with bass and electric..

Me too!  I love the electric guitar (especially right now, my telecaster, even if it's a copy Harley Benton)  ..
...but that doesn't prevent me from trying other forms of guitars (in fact I'm a bit "crazy" about all the variations of the guitar

For the recording now I use a lot the Waves plug ins which are very ergonomic and of quality

listen here the same track (the HERMIT) with the most ins CLA Guitar of waves...
