NorthArchRising Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 Hey all, just a quick link to my newest piece. The acoustic guitar was captured using two AKG perception 170's and was setup using a capo and a partial capo so it gives a larger range. I recorded my good friend playing viola for it too, same mic's with one above him and one from bow height. We recorded 3 part harmonies for the viola parts and think it came out well. Let me know if you like it or not, streaming and free download available from http://northarchrising.co.uk/track/golden-times thanks chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Audacity Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 I listened to everything on your band camp, I love it all. You remind me of Bright Eyes and Sun Kil Moon. When you say you recorded with two mics, did you do it in stereo or like, record each one in mono and blend it? The guitar in your new track sounds really good.

Thanks mate, it was just one guitar take and had the mic's setup with one pointing at the bridge and one pointing at the 12th fret Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red Robin Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 Very pretty song and very good example of its genre. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waigon Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 You should send that to Mindy Smith. It sounds like her music and it's just beautiful. Also, she is in that range of fame where she actually reads what you write on her FB wall and replies to it. (Shocking, I know) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gofirjet Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 Who says you need 44 tracks to make a powerful recording. Next time I'm ready to mix I'm going to listen to this again. Very inspiring. Great job Chris. Thanks for sharing. Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shivermetimbers Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 Sounds very nice. Bad news, clean up the vocal track. Keep the singing, but get rid of all the other noises in between. Logic has a strip silence feature that can help with this. Just sayin ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Logic has a strip silence feature that can help with this. Just sayin ... you would be right 'me matey' if the vocal tracks had silence at any point, they were recorded live with the guitar takes so theres always some audio on the tracks. I just prefer the overall performance of playing and singing at the same time, its gives a much better feel to the performance overall thanks for listening Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaveyBee Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 Song is great as usual. I spotted the audible breaths and spittle clicks and thought "hmm, if he recorded them separately then he coulda dropped them out" but i also reckoned you'd recorded in one take with the guitars and the song is great for it. I personally love the choice to keep them in and record all at once. Makes it sound intimate, like your singing right next to me. Not saying i fancy you or anything. Just saying. One quibble. Not sure about the mixing of the strings, one hard left, one hard right, one central. I might get used to it but it felt like they were separated too much. Still, awesome song, great stuff, look forward to many more. Cheers DaveyBee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zackeous Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 Very good stuff. Reminds me of Iron and WIne as well as the Avett Brothers. Dig your finger-picking. I'm following you on Soundcloud now. Keep up the good work. Take care! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
camillo jr Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 That's really lovely. Did you have a third mic going for the vocal too? If so, how did you manage to get such great tones with no noticeable comb filtering? I have a hard enough time with even just a two mic setup for voice and guitar!
