It probably helps to have long fingers... which I don't have. Wrapping my thumb over the top doesn't work well, it hits right on the knuckle. OUCH! I also have issues with some necks, like PRS. There's just something about the shape of the ones I've tried that doesn't work for me...

I don't know how people play with their guitar slung low. That gives me wrist pain! I don't hold it as high as John McNally of the Searchers, but I don't have any belt buckle rash on any of my guitars.

In the mid 60s, one local recording studio used their concrete block garage with a speaker and a microphone for their echo chamber. I've heard of others using a stairwell. Those would get you a bit of that "old rock sound". That was the style for many studios, Sunset Sound, Capitol...

Pics are great, but where are the sound samples? 😉 Whenever I get a mic, I will do some type of comparison to get a read on how it compares to what I already have. Play a bit of guitar, do a little singing, shake a tambourine. I don't have a bunch of high end stuff. I like that...

It might be better if you contact him directly. Deslog hasn't been active on the board since 2021. His email was in the post above.

I didn't do too much on the vocals. I had a slight rise of a couple dB from about 2K up.

I can dial back the reverb. There is some EQ on the guitar, but I didn't pump up the high end, just about 3dB. There was also a bit of a "boom" right at 100 cycles, like you hit the top or something. Anyway, I put a notch there and that seemed to tame it. This is the curve I used on...

I played with this a bit last night and again this afternoon. This is what I came up with. The "perspective" is a bit different from yours. It's more distant sounding to me.

OUCH! They're about a second behind! C'mon Papa. 😜 The funny thing is one time I accidentally dragged a track about that far, rendered the song and didn't realize it until I started to play it for someone. EMBARRASSED! Luckily I had already save the project, so I just had to redo...

Sorry Michael, but Tosco was only here for 1 day. Hasn't been around for a year. Probably the easiest thing is to just start trying things. You can't really hurt anything.

I guess those Italian cows get old and wrinkled!

I love the idea of a big ol' mixing desk, with lots of knobs and faders, and output jacks and meters and stuff. That's because it's what people used when I was young. I recently found a flyer for the first real recording studio I ever visited. This would be '71 or '72. It might as well...

That's something that I discovered early on. Just because you CAN customize it, create a theme, write scripts, do surround sound, etc. etc., doesn't mean you have to do that. I have never once in the 10 years that I've used it, written a script or designed a theme. I use the 5.x theme...

Here are the noise profiles for the 4 sections (ignoring the first couple of seconds were you got some hum. The main hiss is primarily around -90, but there is still some hum that pops up to about -65dB. The hum section is more like -52dB for the highest peak. The highest peaks for the...

Dave apparently didn't play the clip far enough. Comparing the first section to your clip with the guitar, the hiss was at about -47dB. The hum part was about -40dB, so 7dB of additional noise. The guitar section peaks at about -4. But, the hiss is clearly audible. I'm not sure where...
