I recorded this Cat Stevens tune today on my home setup: Moonshadow Any comments, suggestions, and critiques are welcome.

The recording chain is:
Taylor 914ces --> Gefell M300 Mic --> Avalon AD2022 preamp --> UA2192 AD/DA converter --> E-MU 1212m soundcard --> Sonar 4 Producer

Voice --> Peluso 2247LE --Avalon AD2022 Preamp --> UA2192 AD/DA Converters --> E-MU 1212m soundcard --> Sonar 4 Producer

Played and sung simultaneously for this recording.

I hope you enjoy listening!
 
Rick, I'm not sure if it's the MP3 encoding but I suspect a phase problem between the two mics. The guitar sounds great. I hear the phasing in the vocal. I love the tune by the way.
 
Guitar sounds great. The vocals are done very well, but something sounds off in the processing or tracking. I don't know what it is, but the vocals don't have a clear prescence. They sort of sound boxed in. They almost sound filtered. All in all very well played and sung. :)


Edit: Track Rat nailed it. Sounds like a phasing problem.
 
I think I hear it also, is it the tunnel-like sound in the vocals that make you think that?
 
Ok, I will redo it using separate tracks to eliminate that, then resubmit, thanks!
 
Catchy tune. I think you may want to brighten up the vocals a bit, but it sounds good.
 
Sounds really great Rick - playing, singing, recording all excellent......
 
Yes, very nicely done. Great guitar work. I like the vocal too. Just one thing stood out. The way the singer pronounces the "er" at the end of the word "ever". It's.. ah.. well, it's distracting. It's a much stronger pronunciation than I was expecting, so it just sorta sticks out.
 
Very well done. I like the elasticity. Guitar sounds beautiful.

What's not to like?
 
Nick, I see what you mean about the er words in the song sounding a bit harsh. Thanks!

Thanks for your comments Supercreep!
 
Second version is tons better....lots cleaner and crisper vocals. Guitar sounds really nice.

Very pretty song. :cool:
