Beautiful sound

Hey that's a great sound Rick. Sweet clear guitar tone that refreshingly doesn't rely on lots of compression to make it so.

If there was no reverb on it it'd sound like you're sitting right here in the room, which is as good as it gets IMO. (just mean that the ambiance would be different, not that I dislike the reverb)

Nice :)

Guitar is really nice. I like it. The vox needs a bit EQ work. Mainly only the build up at the lower freq. area. Try small cut around with moderate Q at 250hz (like max -1.5-2db) and maby another not even that big (-1db) a tad higher (375-450hz). Don't cut the body away thou.
 
Oh, I'm getting it now that the guitar was plugged in! Great sound for that.

Mic Placement In Room

Well, The room is about 20 feet long, 15 feet wide, half the ceiling is about 18 feet, the other half 9 feet high. I am facing a wall in one of the corners in the high ceiling area with my back to the other lower ceiling area. There is no sound treatment at all (I wish I had my own room and space, but that isn't happening). I can hardly ever find time to record without noise around, this was one of those times. I have the gain on the mic set high enough that I get a good signal, but low enough that it doesn't pick up too much room noise, so it seems to work out. The problem I am having is that it almost distorts when I sing the louder parts, so I have to pull away off to one angle when I sing those parts, so I am trying to get that under control. I am trying to keep the signal chain as simple as possible.

Ya Timothy, this time I decided to plug in to see how the noise level was affected. It is alot quieter than the Peluso CEMC6 mic I guess, but I have to test that some more. I do like the mic sound more, so I will have to get used to it until time to upgrade, but I am pretty satisfied.

Also, I noticed a big improvement when I added Mid-level EQ when I played back on another PC. So I aggreee that some EQ will be necessary. The AT 4033 is nice, but doesn't sound as full and robust as I would like, thanks for the commnets.
 
Don't remember where but in some thread the other day it struck me that those of us doing music here are "walking the walk" instead of just talking about it. Just now when I listened to this song again I heard it meaning exactly that, with comments on many of the issues creative people deal with. Just my interpretation, I know.

Yip niceley played, recorded and mixed. Maybe a little clean up of the lo mids on the vocals as someone was saying. But it sounds real nice.
Good work.
