Hello people of the post Xmas universe.
My wife, in her usual generous xmas spirit, bought me a lap steel guitar as a gift.
She's bought me a yamaha 4 track, Roland Drum Machine, Fender 12 string, Roland Disklab, an R16, a banjo, mandolin, 5 string bass and so forth before now so I guess it's another step along that path.
It came with steel, picks and case.
It looks cool as it has a fender bass style cover over the bridge.
It's mot a brand jobbie but it owrks. I've plugged in and fooled/tooled about & added some lines to an old track just to a) demo it for the missus and b) to suss it out.
Any particular tips for recording the thing?
I did a quick test DI'ing the thing - took a fair bit of preamp crank to get a strong signal.
What sort of reverb works for gentle slide?
What sort of treatment, filters, mic'ing?
Thanks in anticipation.
