Hi KSband, nice and relaxing, enjoyed it, did you di the ncx1 ? Sounds good.

Thanks a lot Rik, it's electric so yes, just plugged it in and used some reverb, Fresh Air,  a little compression and some chorus.

Great work. Beautiful. Can I ask what microphones you used? I've only been doing this DAW thing for a little over a year but it really seems that there is no substitute for a really good microphone. I'd probably invest in a couple of great mic's than new instruments, guitars or amps as the difference I've heard is amazing  ????

Thank a lot @Larry T.! I was using a Sterling Audio ribbon mic on my last couple recordings but I was having trouble getting a good sax sound on this so I went back to my Audiotechnica 4033, had it for years, it's a great sounding condenser mic.  The nylon guitar is straight into the Focusrite , no mic, same for bass and electrics if I use them.  The bass and any electric guitars go thru amp plugins, so much easier than trying to mic an amp (I have really nice amps collecting dust).

Thanks! A year ago I bought a low price Shure PGA58 cardioid dynamic and didn't really know how good or bad it was recording acoustic and electric guitars and harmonica. I decided to try an old Audiotechnica AT801 omni directional condenser mic I bought around 1975 and immediately heard a vast improvement in clarity and tones. And the AT801 was only around $100 ( I guess that would be about $500 today??). Once I heard the difference I realized how important it is to use the best mics I can get ????
