Bravos good song and production
QuoteSinging the 2nd "raise" in the chorus a higher note, closer to how I think its supposed to be (but I didn't check the sheet music)
- Eliminated fret buzz in intro (my guitar actually needs the truss rod adjusted...)
- About 10% slower tempo (I'm always inclined to play a little too fast; slower is harder!)
- Use condenser mic (with pop filter) instead of dynamic mic (improved clarity?)
- Use blend of bridge and neck pickups on guitar instead of just bridge (deeper/richer sound?)
- Reduce master track low pass filter from 60 down to 35 Hz.  I always used to think I needed a strong low pass, sometimes I even put 100-150 Hz, but now I'm trying to embrace the amount of bass naturally present in my voice (still uncertain about it)
- Longer fade out on ending, and longer "blank" section at start (too short causes some players to glitch the intro)

I like very much your technical notes, very useful to improve the sound recording and the mixing... both of us should do more for our personal productions, after all it's one of the interests of the exchange we have...
I don't know half of you half as well as I should like, and I like less than half of you half as well as you deserve.

...je suis fan des CLA vocals and guitars  ;)

I love this song... two options.
or I try to complete your version with other complementary instruments (weissenborn, harmonica ...), if you are in agreement.

or I'm trying to do a classical guitar cover.
