Members daklander Posted February 19, 2007 Members Share Posted February 19, 2007 I sat down the other night and put this tune onto tape, Reunion, a great tune by Jo Carol Pierce and Harry Porter. I kinda re-wrote the tuneage, melody, from when I first heard it by Jimmie Dale Gilmore.I recorded this in one take into my Sony TC-D5 Pro II cassette recorder so please excuse the clams. Yes, a cassette recorder. From there I imported to my Linux computer into Audacity to get a WAV file. The setup was simple. A Digital Reference instrument mic on the guitar, somewhere around the twelfth fret about 8 or 10 inches away and angled toward the soundhole for the left channel. The right channel was my main vocal mic, a Carvin CM68, over my right shoulder and pointed down toward the body of the guitar, the old Yamaha FG150.The only thing done to the recording, once a WAV file, was a leveling of the two channels because the left was lower than I liked and removal of the floor-noise level. That file was then normalized to -6dB and converted to mp3. Nothing more. No compression, eq, nor effects of any kind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members babablowfish Posted February 19, 2007 Members Share Posted February 19, 2007 Nice! That old FG-150 sounds great. I really like your voice - you sound just like Guy Clark. I was also amazed at how good the recording sounds. By the way, what are "clams?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Clams" are playing errors, hit the wrong note here, not enough sustain on a note, & etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
