Yairi

[mark skinner]

Here's a short instrumental I'm trying to finish up and could use some help on. I went direct in with a DY-77 Yairi with a "shadow" pickup. I've gone back and forth so many times with some new CB-1 headphones and my studio monitors I no longer trust my ears. Any crits , comments and suggestions will be greatly appreciated

Nice, rich reverb. I love the mix. Everything in it's place (although being a bass player, I'd like to hear a little more of it). Great playing!
I'm assuming the drums are samples. The crash cymbals all tend to cut out unnaturally (no ring out). The snare needs a bit of variation.

Fantastic guitar tones. I agree that the drums are s little too forward in the mix. Other than that is pretty much perfect

You had me at the first note. Love this style.
Sounds great MS.
Is Yairi your dog?

I've made a Lot of changes and the top link now reflects them. Thanks for the comments and suggestions so far. mark

That link didn't work for me, but I found this - nice guitar work.

Just listening in cans the snare verges on too much for me. I'd like it better if the bass had more of an upright sound, maybe a bit more percussive, but that's me.

Very nice! Your DY-77 records well. Similar to my Yaiiri DY-55. What are you using for strings?

I'm using d'addario phos. bronze lights. I had to do some major EQ ing to get this tone. Years ago I traded this guitar to a friend for a cello. He recently passed away and willed it back to me . Now it's much more than another nice instrument.. Keith , I've had a really hard time posting a new workable link for some reason on this song . Thanks .. mark
