    Three bluegrass tunes on the cheap Warning, banjo haters :)

    I'm posting three tunes. :guitar: All instruments and vocal were recorded with a SPB1 ($50 on CL) onto a Zoom R16. I'm playing all parts, but I didn't do any punches...just played the parts through until I could live with it and adjusted levels and pan. The final mixes were boosted with an...

    recording at 24 bit / 44.1 khz - calculating the space needed

    I'm recording 7 tracks per song onto an SD card at 24 bit / 44.1 khz. How many minutes of 7 track songs can I get onto one 8mb card? Is there a formula I can plug into or a resource online somewhere I can reference?:listeningmusic:

    A Peppy Bluegrass Track

    Recorded almost everything with a stock Oktava MK319 (Rhythm guitar mk012) and Millennia HV3. Bass is a cheap Casio Keyboard "bluegrass pattern". Kinda fast-ends a little abruptly- was a challenge to play that tempo (except for the Casio lol.) Any of you guys experience the Kala U Bass? I...

    Traditional Bluegrass Mix

    This is a favorite Bill Monroe tune that I don't hear done that much by my bluegrass buddies. No delusions of grandeur, but I think I am fairly happy with it. The bass could be stronger, but I need a real upright player in here rather than me hunting and plucking before I would dare push it up...

    Baptism of JT Lo Fi Bluegrass Experiement

    Baptism of JT Lo Fi Bluegrass Experiment I've never heard this song done in this style, but it's a great candidate. I was shooting for traditional bluegrass with AM Radio playing scratchy old vinyl records production values, and I hope the extra effort to sing through my nose is appreciated :)

    Remembering the Delmores and Mr. Acuff

    Harvey's "Bluegrass on the Cheap" post inspired me to steal away out to the shed and record something. It's hard to find the time, and then I usually get a call from somebody needing something right in the middle of a good take! Starting with just a guitar and vocal (no particular arrangement)...

    New Favorite Banjo Mic

    Oktava MK-319 Going Where John Henry Fell Dead I know they have been around for a while, and I've really enjoyed my MK012s on lots of stuff, but I just got this mic in trade, and I like it.

    Some banjo-like guitar picking

    John Henry I was just experimenting with tuning the guitar to an open D and more or less playing Scruggs style banjo techniques. I pointed an Oktava 012 at the guitar and sang into an Advanced Audio DM20

    A little bluegrass pickin' over at a friend's house last night.

    These were recorded on a Zoom R16 with various dynamic mics: SM57s, 58s for vocals, an SM57 knockoff for guitar, and an EV RE15 on banjo. Take Me In Your Lifeboat Dig a Hole in the Meadow This is a quick headphone mix, but I need to go back in and work on the balance and levels. Still, I am...

    Old fiddle tune (no fiddle) banjo and mandolin

    I wish I could play fiddle, 'cause this needs one ;) Soppin' The Gravy It is a work in progress, but there is one problem I feel like is preventing me from progressing with this mix any further. There are parts of the mando that are a little out of the pocket groove wise and too loud. I know...

    Old Style Bluegrass

    This tune goes back to the days (and farther) when Bill and Charlie Monroe were still a brother duet. I tried to give it a little of that flavor...Monroe Brothers, Stanleys with Pee Wee Lambert, Jimmy Martin, etc. I'm doing all the vocals and instruments. What Would You Give? Thanks for...
