Acoustic Tune

[NL5]

Not sure on this. It will have drums and bass eventually, but decided to do a quick acoustic mix. All comments/critiques welcome.

Thanks!

Sounds very good.
Great vox too.

I´m curious about the set up (mics, pre, converter) and room treatment;´sounds defined and with excellent stereo image(even on crappy speakers I´m listening now).

The room is untreated, but very few parallel surfaces, and quite large (1000 sq ft/ vaulted ceilings) . The two guitars were recorded simultaneously. I had them sit so they were comfortable. They chose to sit in kind of an L shape if that makes sense. Threw a Gefell M300 on each guitar about 12" out at the 12th fret. Used a Fearn VT2 into an Apogee AD16. Vox is a Gefell UM92.1 into a GR MP-2NV into the Apogee. There is two verbs on the guitars and a TINY bit of EQ. The vox has three verbs, a crapload of compression, and some eventide harmonizing on it. A TINY bit of EQ as well. I normally don't EQ vox, but I wanted it to be pretty verby, but maintain some presence, so there is a 1 db boost at 3.2, and hi passed at 60 hz.

Thanks!

Don't let the gear fool you though. A pair of MXL 603's, an NTK, and an RNP and it would be DAMN close to the same sound..............

 

[CIRO]

Agreed

I´m having very good vox/guitars results with a MXL 2003 (modded) and a DMP3.

You've got a real awesome sound going on here. I like your set up. Guitars sound really nice and bright without sounding brittle. Good song too. Keep it up.

Excellent! Nothing to add! Loved it.

Great tune. Just listened on headphones. The vocals sound a little phasy, maybe from comb filtering?

 

[NL5]

Thanks for all the great comments!

NYMorningstar - I think the phase issues may be coming from all the heavy verbs. It needs some fine tuning, and I'll probably back it off a bit. It could be from the room, and be in the actual track too, so I'll check that.....

 

[NYMorningstar]

Gave this a listen on my stereo and couldn't here any of the phase issues. The only thing that may be an issue(and this is being really picky), is there's a little bit of sibilance from the sssinger. You could live with it or de-ess it a bit. Maybe that was the phasy sound I was hearing on the headset. Anyhow, the wife loves the tune, you're in!

Nicely done vocal and good clarity in the gtr recording.
