Romanza This is the EQ'd version. Romanza pre-EQ Help me out by telling me how the EQ change sounds on your monitors. Probably pretty obvious what I did to it. :D Any suggestions? Tracked with cheap gear, had kind of a brittle high end but I liked the feel of it so wanted to fix it up...

Happy holidays my friends... :) Jingle Bells Tim

Come Together No mic's on this... used only a piezo transducer for each guitar part. Maybe the lower mids are too hot... my ears are kind of fried mixing it. :D Let me know how it sounds on your system... especially interested in the EQ balance. Tim

Villa Lobos Prelude Prelude No. 3 This isn't me playing, it's a student of mine. I just recently got an Electro Harmonix 12AY7 pre to use as a contrasting sound to my usual pre's and this is one of my first uses of it. Minimal processing, a touch of verb and stereo-izing (was done mono)...

Just curious as to who did all the rating stars all of a sudden this morning. Never use them myself because I don't think it gives a good visual representation of the poster's intent. In the current rating system the excellent, good, avg, bad, terrible ratings all have different numbers of...

Hopeful Just a simple two part improvisation in free form. I was about to change back to heavier strings on my small bodied acoustic so thought I'd record something on it to remember how it sounded with the super light gauge set (starting with .009). Not a big sound but kind of light and...

Acoustic guitar improvisation Two acoustic guitars, I'm on both. I play a few scales and arpeggios most days to try and keep the fingers in shape and I like to improvise as part of it...usually on nylon string but this steel str happened to be lying around today. I edited out a couple...

Cançao Is the delay on the right guitar too over the top? Maybe the two gtrs need to be panned closer together for the effect to work. Let me know what you think. It's an arr by Yvon Rivoal... just a simple thing really. It's part of a set of Latin Amer duets I use sometimes in my...

This is a short clip of a Schoeps cmc6 mk41 on classical guitar... with two guitars backing at a low level - a nylon and a steel string. All were tracked with the same mic and position - 3 ft from the bridge, on axis. Passage written by Al Cochrane for a song intro. Tim

Nuevo Zambra - percussion and guitar Tonio added percussion to my zambra track that was in a thread that's been around a while, and I think this version deserves its own thread so it doesn't get overlooked... so here it is! Nicely done Tonio. :cool: Tim

Monkey Metal Monkey My name is Monkey. I record exclusively for Mystery Records. Do not confuse me with "The Monkees", who were human. I'm a real monkey. I got help typing this, 'cause I tend to go wild at the keyboard and scream and throw feces and stuff. Any suggestions on the...

Zambra... flamenco guitar. I spent Wednesday at Finster’s Geomana studios tracking a couple tunes. Chris has an engineering ear that is nothing less than virtuosic. He probably smokes me as a guitarist too but that’s another story. We did a couple pieces. This is the one I liked the most...

Sagreras Study No.82 performed by a student of mine. Paul's a talented guitarist who makes his living in a field other than music... he's a cancer researcher. Anyway, this was done during our last lesson, just off the cuff, as I was putting him on the spot a bit to play a set he hadn't looked...

[7string is posting this via Tim's computer, due to a browser problem:] Ran across this article and thought I'd pass it on. It touches on some things that aren't discussed in these forums, like the 'why' and even some scientific things. Thought it was really informative, IMHO. But it does raise...

El Colibri Recorded this before I became gear crazed - w/Shure BG 4.0 mic's using pre's of an old Yamaha MT3X multitrack. Composed by Julio Sagreras. Tim

Have to say that the best music I've found in the last few years is here in the mixing clinic. It really surprises me because it was totally unexpected. In comparison, most commercial productions I hear now seem homogenized, over processed, artificial and over-marketed. The mp3 and wave files...

http://www.timothylawler.com/wwcno7.mp3 Mic'd with a Schoeps MK41 close up (at about a foot). Originally recorded each gtr with a pair of 41s but I remixed it yesterday, thinning it down to one mic trying for a less thick and more natural sound. Prefer mic'ing further away for a more open...

I've used the 603 a lot on guitars - steel and nylon string. Variety of placements, guitars, rooms. IME it has some distinct good characteristics and some distinct bad ones. I really like the mic. The fact that it's very low $ gives me a weird satisfaction when I use it, 'cause I've got a...

It's No.17, at the top of the right column. http://www.timothylawler.com/page3.html The MXL 603s pair were 2ft out from 12th fret and bridge. GR pre. Two guitars - I played each part. Done in the style of free improvisation. Let me know what you think. Tim

http://www.timothylawler.com/LTTex.mp3 Left channel is my vocal and acoustic gtr, R channel is a large group of 1st and 2nd graders. Overdubbed my elec gtr to the left channel afterwards. I recorded it with just two SM 57’s to stereo cassette tape a number of years ago. Question: I’d...
