Hi Danny and the List,
The sound of that "tubing is really very natural, and I cannot hear any
extra reverb, either. And very nice and relaxed playing, too!
All the best,
Arto

I've posted several times the processing I use, based on the
recommendation of my sound engineer uncle. I apply an "inverted smile"
EQ and if I am recording in my small office, I add a small amount of
reverb (if I am alone in the house and can record in the big living
room the reverb is not necessary). The "inverted smile" corrects for
inadequacies in the response of the mic. I was once recorded with a
$15,000 mic and that led me to believe that cheaper mic+EQ is very
close to the reality captured by the expensive mic and therefore that
the EQ isn't "cheating". In my most recent recording, using a superior
mic (but not in the thousands of dollars) I thought the sound was much
better and only the tiniest adjustment (taking down the highest and
lowest bands in the EQ) was needed:
