I recorded some vocal/acoustic guitar tracks this morning and I could not be happier. My voice and fingers were not wide awake yet, but I wanted to record while the traffic noise was minimal and before the laundry fired up. I recorded at 24/96 in an untreated small bedroom and it is amazingly quiet, (other than one of my &^$#@* dogs barking on the other side of the door in the middle of a song....) and once I got it aimed at the correct angle, it got a good blend of my voice and the guitar. Small diaphragm condensors are not the most flattering mic in the world for vocals, but I think these sound pretty dang good and require absolutely no setup. After 5 years of fussing with mic placement, editing, EQ and mixing in Pro Tools LE DAWs, this is a Godsend. I am turning into a minimalist.
I am going to post an mp3 as soon as I render the wav file to mp3. Can we attach mp3s to posts here or do I just insert a link that points to somewhere else? I searched, but I am not finding anything.
Thanks,
