My daughter happens to be visiting this week all the way from Los Angeles. We took and hour or so to record something that she had written 5 years ago. It’s a fairly rough mix consisting of her playing acoustic guitar, (Yarii DY55), recorded with the Studio Project C4s in an X-Y pattern. There are two vocal tracks here also recorded after the acoustic guitar tracks were done. I wasn’t overly pleased with the first vocal that was recorded with a Carvin LCD, so I had her do the vocal again using a CAD E100-2. I must say that I was astonished when I brought up both vocal tracks and noticed how the vocal timing was almost to perfection considering the fact that when we re-tracked the second vocal she was only monitoring the acoustic guitar tracks.
I attempted adding a touch of piano and bass guitar (as best I could) in order to simply get a feel for which direction the song may possibly go.
After having listened to and applying EQ to each individual track which seemed to stand up fairly well individually, I had a hell of a time at around the 1:04 mark dealing with some obvious frequency clashes between combined tracks. It’s still there, but not nearly as bad as it was, and certainly not as good as I would like it to be.
Anyway, it’s a demo at this point in time. If you have the time, give it a listen, and offer us recommendations.
Suffice to say that I am extremely pleased in hearing what the C4s captured on the acoustic guitar.
