I got to take a break from a full rock record I am working on and record a girl acoustic. She just came in with a guitar and herself and I set up a couple mics and we were on our way. She told me she had only been playing a year so I wasn't expecting too much. . . when all of the sudden I heard great playing coming out of this girl. The real suprise was her voice though, it is great. She is not too confident with it yet, but she still sounds great.
The song I am posting is her finger picking on the guitar and singing. It was tracked sepreately and I think it sounds really good. Mics used on acoustic were an MXL-603 on the 12th fret, and a SP B-1 off axis at the hole. Vocal mic was a Shure Unidyne 330 Ribbon. I think it sounds excellent. It is airy and smooth sounding to my ears. I put a little sonic maximizer on the recording after mixdown to help improve the stereo width. Most importantly there is ABSOLUTELY NO EQ on this mix.
Kristin is her name and she is really looking for some feedback on what you guys/girls think about her playing and her voice and her song. Please let us know.

P.S. If you want to post comments on the mix thats okay too.
