Mark, to me the vocal was a little low in the beginning and a little to much when we're both singing and at the end. I'm not sure yet how to make this more smooth, so far vocal tracks have some level automation on it.
Chris,
like I said we play this song offten enough (maybe once in 2 month he.. he...) so we know it pretty well. there is actualy at least one pretty sour note in her take and my harmonies weren't that tight (maybe I'm just overly critical). But yea she is good ...
you should see her come up with harmonies on the spot and them do them in one take... now that is impressive
and no she ain't moving to Texas any time soon
though we'd love to visit.
"your word is true" was my first post here... I just got my LD mic and the "itch" to record was unberable (still is)
, glad you liked it. We live in Rochester, NY now but the accent (and bad spelling) you hear comes from behind the "Iron Curtain"
erichenryus, thanks for the compliment, that can get mans head pretty big...
My wife wrote the song and she is playing the ....
keyboard ...
very bad one too... it's old Roland RD305... don't ask ... I'm in need of a good 88key/weighted controller...
the sound however comes from GigaStudio GigaPiano. 128kbs mp3 realy degraded the sound to my ears. It sounds much better uncompressed.
2) the guitar is two tracks first I played with mxl2003 pointed at 14th fret angled a little towards the soundhole about 6-8 inches from the neck, second track almost same position, not angled, but with shure SM81.
I wanted to try stereo micing but I only have one mic stand and one good mic cord..
the guitar is Taylor 615 which is maple jumbo.
3) belive me I would like nothing more (accept maybe for JC to come back sooner
) but to record more... and we got tonnes...
but... there's ... 13yr old,2y old,7month-not-yet-born old, work,church,pool,house.... you get the picture...
if you interested here is another tune ... also my wifes... NOT FINISHED... I was sitting on this for sometime now... it's different then this one on many levels
or at 256kbs
if you have any questions, post away I'd be glad to answer.
I don't know if you guys expect such detailed answers but I appreciate all your comments and dialog/discussion of the song and recording as it helps me to see bigger picture.
cheers
