A Little Ditty

Pretty sweet sounding guit and playing. Nice little piece of music.

The recording was a bit on the quiet side. To me it makes it a little hard to tell if the mic positioning was optimal. I thought it maybe lacked a little midrange. But that's only a guess. A nice rich low end I thought.

I didn't read every post, but I didn't see where you said what mic you used. That might help too.

Going over it with a fine toothed comb... Heard some extraenous sound at :13. A couple of pops in the :22-:27 range. Something odd at 1:16.

Good to see you post. It's been a while.
 
Hey Trip,we posted at the same time!:D

I just updated the file with another take,if you have a minute.
Hopefully it's a little better.

Thanks,
Pete
 
Nice calming tune. The fret noise doesnt bother me. Some clean picking. Good work.

Listened to the update.

I liked the sound to this one much better. Still a nice low end, but nicer representation across the spectrum. A louder recording as well. I'd still recommend playing around with mic positions to see if your sound can't still be improved. I'll save this one for comparison just in case.

I'm hearing extraneous noise here and there in the first 25 seconds. Pops - but they sound like natural noises (fingers hitting things they didn't intend to hit). Not a clip or bad punch or anything like that.

A decided improvement.
 
Myx,thanks very much for the listen.
Not sure which version you listened to,but thanks anyway dude!:D

Hey Trip,thanks very much for taking the time again.

I'm going to try and give it another shot tonight,and play around with the mic position like you suggested.

I'm using a small cap out front to the left of the headstock,and a large one pointing down at head height,by the bridge.

I think the ticket is going to be get as close as I can till it gets boomy?

Thanks,
Pete

Me too, but it is a very nice sounding piece. Very peaceful and I mean in a good way, not boring. :)

Nice work Pete.
 
Nice tune Pete. Beautiful sounding guitars. I should take this to the river with me on headphones.

Warm.
 
Hey Pete,
....cool, Its always nice to hear new stuff from the Muzeman:)

Very nice stuff here brutha! Its a smart idea to document placements like that. This mic arrangement is definitely worth remembering. ...no woofiness... ...all clear and present.

Beautiful brutha!!!

I'm exactly in that mood now.. how sweet.. I can't listen to the mix right now cos I'm too busy to listen to the music -- which is great - love it!!
 
Skids-

Glad you liked it.:)

SluiCe-
Hey Tom,thanks for the kind words man.
If you take my song,can I come along!:D

Guernica -
Hi Mike,great to hear from you bro!
Hope your little guys doing Great!

Thanks for the kind words,means a lot.

You right,Iv'e been forcing myself to write Everything down.
Even made a floor plan of the mic positions,and put tape around the stands on the floor.
Can you say"obsessive compulsive"!:D

groovejunkie,
Thanks my friend,very kind of you.
I appreciate you taking the time.



I went ahead and gave it one more shot,messed around with the mic positions like Tripp suggested.

If I can bore anybody with another listen,that would be great.
