ay karumba!
thanks for commenting....
sound drop. yep. i kinda knew that would happen, based on experience of previous tunes that i open up with my Taylor 414.
it records so big. you almost have to do audio tricks to get electric to stand up against it.....
but it also depends on the playback system.....
for example, in the car stereo, the cd playback of this song sits real nice, with the first section, against the 2nd.
in my home stereo (yamaha natural sound components and Infinity Research Standard towers) it also isn't too distinctly different, but in my actual monitors (KRK) the sound is different.
i just rode the fence between about 4 different playback system, to figure out what i wanted there.
good ear.
the sibilence, is due to the ADK Hamburg i used on the vocals on this particular song.
i tried to de ess it, and that was as far as i was able to take it without losing the presence.
picking the right mic for the right job, i'm learing, is as important as the signal chain.

thanks for listening..... that taylor really records well,
it's a Taylor 414, full size. i used several mics for the several takes....
a sm57, a AT4033, and a ADK Hamburg, all single mic/single takes, all pointed about at the base of the neck at the body joint.
mics run thru a A Designs Audio MP-1 mic pre, a DBX compressor, and straight to convertor.
bulls hit
appreciate the kind words..
i had just had to let the drums sit back a bit..
i tried some other mixes, that had the drums louder, but i wanted the rhythm guitars featured more there.
even tho they're panned hard left and right, there was some blurring.
i should have used completely different guitars for that part, but used the same guitar, but with different amp settings.
that probably would have changed the dynamic even more.
everyone of those guitar sounds (acoustic too) is fabulous on my Adam a7x's
awesome stuff all around.
