This forum is for those who want to discuss processing and recording your vocals and improving vocal technique. It is NOT for posting a poorly recorded audio clip from your smartphone or computer and asking if you sing good or have a nice voice. John Lennon, himself, hated his voice. Yet, the...

I agree with Greg here. I have a couple mixes that I slam a brickwall limiter on, not because it sounds great, but because in my everyday life, whether I'm at the gym or on the metro or whatever, I don't want to worry about changing volume while listening. I don't mind doing it if the volume...

Ya I'm worried something might have happened while traveling back to Paris, even though the guitar was in it's soft case and with me at all times and never dropped. Who knows, with cabin pressure and changes in humidity. It still sounds great, but sometimes there's just this metallic chimey...

Yessir, that's the one (phosphor bronze...but mediums, not lights)

I have a small humidifier that I use, which is supposed to regulate humidity in both dry and excessively humid places (point being, in theory it shouldn't cause any issues related to dry or wet places) The strings are relatively new. I bought the guitar new when Guitar Center had a 20% sale...

Ya I think that's a good method, but I have no shame in admitting that 1) I don't know enough about how to successfully tackle the likely phase issues that'll come with using 2 mics and 2) (and perhaps most importantly), it's come to my attention that in the interior of the guitar theres a...

Good point. Thanks lads.

I know that naturally there will be more bass as you approach the sound hole. The place where I think my experience is lacking is being able to decide what's too boomy vs nice and distinct. Regarding getting a second mic for acoustic work, it's definitely something to consider but honestly I...

Haha close! ....it's my lady that's small, 5 ft tall with small fingers, the gs mini was the best blend of 'small enough to teach her' with as little tonal sacrifice as possible for my taste :)

Taking off the admin hat for a sec to get some uncensored advice. I'd like to record my Taylor GS Mini - mahogany, I have one condenser (CAD M179) at my disposal. So far, I've tried different mic positioning, starting at aiming towards the 12th fret, and noticed the sound is much thinner, with...

No but it might affect legibility of your posts (and some of the older members might make fun of you)

Just realized why I didn't sing on yours....bc you already had vocals that likely would sound better than mine :) Btw XtenanetX, definitely reach out to bubba with any questions about tone, because he fucking nails it on the guitars!

I wanna sing on that too! Send it over bubba

Just caught up on this thread. The advice here is good, but I wouldn't completely rule out the interface as the culprit regarding unwanted noise. While cable length can introduce affect noise, it sounds to me like the main issue could be the preamps on your UM2. True, some parts you recorded...

Saw that too. I'm totally satisfied with Echoboy since cracking on the Soundtoys 5 bundle black friday sale, but otherwise I would've jumped all over this :)

A modern day's Otis Redding with the instruments playing a much more prevalent role. This song and mix is beautiful. Maybe I would push back the main vocals just a tiny tiny bit (i.e. is it just me or does "take" in "take a deep breath" at around 50 seconds clip?) But honestly I love it...

The reverb that always seems to get the most praise in my eyes is softube's TSAR-1 (originally $269, but for cyber monday/black friday it's $135). There's also a much easier-to-use (also more limited) but still great-sounding version called the TSAR-1R, which is usually $99 but now available for...

That's not entirely accurate. It's true that you can receive unsolicited emails, as we've all experienced before. This is called opt-out marketing, where companies receive your email address whether you deliberately provided it or not. There's also opt-in marketing where you deliberately...

Lol how is that our fault? You didn't even win a set, so Elixir never even got your email (not from us anyway) unsub unsub unsub

Regarding the giveaway, in the next 1-2 weeks you'll see reviews from the testers here for the nickel nanowebs and here for stainless steel. I, myself, got some nanowebs from Elixir at Musikmesse so I'm gonna replace my strings for the first time in 2 years. I'm planning on recording the audio...
