    Caramel - A smooth jazz version of Suzanne Vega's song

    this is in some parts really contrasts your previous posts :-) which if sine, but fun to see i started this whole thread by explaining why certain things cannot be changed, like the bass or the guitar from a composition point of view. BTW, i like the chord progression, I wrote that 7 years ago...

    Caramel - A smooth jazz version of Suzanne Vega's song

    thank you, that was an interesting insight to a different opinion It might take 7 years to dismountle the big fat unbroken rope as you call it, but to be honest, I am not sure I want to do that, you see, there is a concept behind it. This song was ment to be minimalistic from the beginning as...

    Caramel - A smooth jazz version of Suzanne Vega's song

    you are right about the leslie but that was a must, something I had to do to cover an error in the original recording. I recorded the guitar and the organ and the drums in 2004 on 32khz compressed with a zoom msr4, not something I would really do today, but those times were different so were my...

    Falling Slowly in Dublin with youtube video

    thank you for the comments guys, I really appreciate your thoughts. Also, nice to hear the background story K-dub, I do agree with you, nothing comes close to the original, but that never should be a purpose, we all agree. What is the point in replicating something 'as is', right? As a little...

    Falling Slowly in Dublin with youtube video

    i have to agree about the S sounds, though again, this is something that is very visible in the compressed youtube version, and fairly transparent in the wav version.

    Falling Slowly in Dublin with youtube video

    From 1:10 you see a typical street artist peforming in front of St. Stephen's Green shopping centre, right at the end of Grafton street, Dublin's best known shopping street. There is always somebody doing something that will make people stop, like this guy doing magic tricks and swallowing a balloon

    Mixing Mono Piano

    i think this sounds really great. The piano is ok as well, well done if I really had to change something: - play with the drums. Some of the drum fills are flat a bit to my ear and the hihat is overly visible all the time. - it is true that the mix sounds a bit left heavy - the piano...

    Best way to split a guitar signal

    Hi, I am looking for a solution that would split the output of my guitar (or rather the output of my pre-amp) into 3-4 isolated signals for recording .... The idea is to use a DI in the chain before the splitter and use the produced balanced signal for splitting. Is there a device that works...
