Stephen >> gimped basses from Gamut. I used an Edirol R-1 24-bit recorder, an M-Audio Duo preamp, and an NTK Rode NTK microphone (something the guy in the guitar shop sold me before I read David Taylor's advice) <<
FWIW, I am satisfied with my Rodes microphones, value for money I'd say. A bit of experimenting helps in improving the sound, I found. Perhaps just opening the gain more on your Edirol will already help? If you're into sound manipulation, you could try Audacity for Normalising or even Compression. Your recording will get more presence. David PS: You asked for comments, ignore if you're not happy withe these, but here goes anyway: Well played, no obvious technical problems. A little modest, if I may say so. Perhaps you can make more clear what you feel is most important in the piece: which notes in the melodie, what harmonic changes. And not by emphasizing in volume (accenting) but by giving it a little more time. That way you'll take the listener with you and show them to what you like about the piece. PSS: For your eyes (ears) only your file after compression. Not necessarily better, but good to see (hear) what it does to your file. **************************** David van Ooijen [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.davidvanooijen.nl **************************** -- To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html
