Members kwakatak Posted April 13, 2009 Members Share Posted April 13, 2009 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lCxFmRFtiJg Here's my latest attempt at trying a jazz-ish piece with my OM-03R. I found the tab/obtained a recording in issue #59 of Fingerstyle Guitar Magazine (which features Earl Klugh on the cover.) Pete Huttlinger has a regular column and cites Klugh as one of his main influences. This song is sort of an homage to Klugh's style and seems to be pop-oriented smooth jazz. The audio signal chain is my attempt at dual-sourcing between the K&K Pure Western Mii/Pure XLR preamp and the Shure PG57 microphone, both through a Behringer UB1202 mixer. I'm still tweaking it. I like the K&K for its clarity but it sounds a little compressed/doesn't capture the high-end sparkle that even this relatively cheap microphone captures. This mix tends to be a little heavy on the microphone and like I said, I'm still tweaking the balance. Video was done with a Canon A560 digital camera in AVI mode. Please give it a listen and feel free to provide feedback. FWIW I think I could've played it slower and more cleanly. Playing with the headphones on really did seem to help though. As always, I did this take under "rush" circumstances with a 2 year-old trying to get in on the act. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members RiseNewCreature Posted April 13, 2009 Members Share Posted April 13, 2009 That was splendid! I had a lot of fun watching and listening. I also watched your Watchtower cover and liked that as well. Goig back to the Klugh, sounded very nice. I didn't seem to notice the distraction on your face from the little one. I dig it!

Members kwakatak Posted April 13, 2009 Author Members Share Posted April 13, 2009 Thanks, guys! I admit I've been getting rusty lately but have made an effort to practice more. I hope to have more mp3s or videos to upload in the future. I meant to do that several months ago but got swept up in the holidays and other family issues.
