  1. Thanx, gentlemen! :)
    Well guess who's old Yamaha yamaha hs5's had activated a highpass filter at 100hZ.
    Has been since I bought them eons ago. No wonder I never had the need for bass traps.  

  2. Nice, and yes: Tangerine dream-ish. In a good way.
    Nice and firm bass on my new JBL's, which I'm-still-learning-to-understand.   :) 
    The bass-side of things is a new challenge for me these days, and this was a promising  hear-through.
     

  3. Took some time because a back injury prevents me from sitting down much, and I'm not very familiar with this kind of instrumentation: Electric guitars.
    Oh! I allso have a new set of monitors that were not "marginally different" from my old ones. Salesman told me they were. (Old: Yamaha HS5, New: Jbl 305P MkII)

  4. My father-in-law passed and left us a fantastic cabin in the mountains. I bought a cheap laptop, and a Steinberg UR 28. That took me out of my comfort zone, and I recorded that song to get to know the new pine covered room on the 2nd floor. A sweet experience with a minimum of plugins. Up there I have a weak 4G coverage, so pluginsblablabla..  I have a new stationary PC coming sometime the next week.

    Hmm I exceeded max filesize. Wasnt meant for youtube, but I had to:
     

     

  5. Thank you very much, everybody.
    Andy: I used two guitars: The one you see, is a Martin GPCPA 1 and out of sight, is a Martin D15M.
    I might have, at least I wanted to, use an ukulele: That is some Ibanez model.
    The bass is a Sandberg electra VS4, and the color is "Creme"  :D

    anders, I love your voice, so emotionally true.  Do you perform anywhere?

    Thank you, David.
    I used to. Nowadays, I've got a real job :D , and do not gig much live. It happens from time to time.   :)

     

  7. I received a guitar track from a guitarist with an idea he said was recorded at 120 bpm.
    So I imported the file, and inserted some midi drums.. Was not quite 120 bpm.  :)
    I then dragged the "irregular" guitartrack onto the timeline.  ...calculating..
    And I now had a slightly different AND dynamic tempo map. Drums following nicely.
    Only tried it once, so I am insecure. I never could imagine this would be possible.
    Is it?
    Or am I experiencing a lucky coincidence?

  8. Just out of the blue, the transport stopped working on my Komplete kontrol A61 today.
    Thats my story of MIDI. Working fine one day, The next day, no joy. (No sound, no sync, must assign different channel etc..) 
    And today; no working transport controls. I just don't get it.
    It is very frustrating. I tried un ticking "disable handshake" re-ticking it without any change.
    I know I did not touch it. What is going on?

    Edit: Updating MMcl now with the October 19, 2019 edition. Thanks msmcleod. I hope it works..
    Edit#2 It did.

  9. Nevermind the tips about gear. Tezza's advice is what you need. Gear is the least critical regarding your question.
    Eliminate as much room reverb as possible when recording.
    Learn eq and compression. Then you can add a controllable reverb.
    I have made recordings on acoustic guitar both on expensive and more affordable mics. The technique is allways more critical than the price of the mic.

    Beautiful. You don't need anything more than your voice and guitar really, but the video is a plus. And I liked the one static shot in the video which gives the viewer another emotional dimension to the song. I like your smile at the end too.

    1000 takk!   :)

    I stopped watching the video so I could concentrate on the song (lovely) the vocal (amazingly clear) and the guitar work (beautiful). The mix of it all ain't too bad, I listened on my studio monitors. When the drums came in, they were just a bit of a letdown in their quality, it didn't quite match the level of your awesome voice and guitar. What did you use for drums? I dunno, that's a subjective thing. You might dig those drums!

    I really enjoyed your song (via Uriah Heep is it?) and the clarity of that mix was outstanding. For me, however, the video  doesn't really authentically sell your song. I guess I would expect visuals, cutaways, scenes in a montage, etc. for this type of song. But to each their own. Those performance vids are a breed unto themselves and one needs to accept the limitations of a static shot, I reckon.

    You picked a great tune and did a great job of the rendition, and again, you have an amazing voice and guitar style. I look forward to hearing more of your stuff.

    cheers,

    -Tom

    I'm using toontrack drums. Choosing the kit is allways a challenge for me, and most of the times, I'm sure there is a better choice in there. Plus they rarely get any attention other than their preset mix and volume.
    Yes, Ken Hensley of Uriah heep.  :) 
    Shooting b-roll for such a thing can be a real chore, so unless I get an obvious idea, I don't prioritize it. Video is mostly there so I can put it on facebook. :) 
    Thanks a lot. I really appreciate your input.

    I did not check it out on laptop speakers. I have no such experience on the Yamaha monitors.
    I have no clue on how to mix for iPhones, tablets or laptops. I've read an article about it, but it did not stick. I'm way to  old school.
    Thanks a bunch for your input, Mark.  :)

    I've arranged an old favourite of mine for guitar. Original is piano only, and made by Ken Hensley / Uriah heep. Any pointers are welcome. :)
