Mafy31 Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 Very nice cover, guitar, vocals ... enjoyed it. What do you use for recording and processing? Felt like there was a light reverb in your voice. I start thinking that if you dont have tin ears either... then maybe it was me ??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blindboygrunt Posted October 23, 2016 Author Share Posted October 23, 2016 I used stagelight on the pc for that one Sm58 for the guitar , rode nt1 for me A touch of reverb for the vocals , maybe I added too much? I use earphones to mix it and sometimes it's different then through speakers It's an art I haven't quite mastered yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MorrisrownSal Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 Nice! You make me think about recording with the non-USB IOS Mics.... Great song all around Grunt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MissouriPicker Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 There's a "real" sound to all of your music, Stu. Doesn't matter which guitar or other gear you use. You've got a sweet style of playing/singing and it always shines through everything else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fullmental Alpinist Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 Nicely done, Stu. I'll have to check out that Stagelight. Is the NT-1 a recent purchase? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blindboygrunt Posted October 24, 2016 Author Share Posted October 24, 2016 Nicely done, Stu. I'll have to check out that Stagelight. Is the NT-1 a recent purchase? Stagelight is pretty much GarageBand for pc Works very well . And cheap Nt1 I bought a few months ago now . Just recently borrowed a focusrite which allowed for phantom power and a second mic for guitar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murph Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 It's an art I haven't quite mastered yet I think it sounds fine. You can over-think this stuff. The most iconic recordings in history were done in situations with far lesser equipment than many of us have in our homes now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blindboygrunt Posted October 24, 2016 Author Share Posted October 24, 2016 that's true But my dodgy tracks would be harder to listen to if they were badly recorded sonically as well as technically !! I do it for fun , but always figure that folk can hear what a j45 sounds like Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MorrisrownSal Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 Stu... again, I think the recording is perfect... I cant help but think my SM58 through some adapter might record more pure for me than my ios mics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blindboygrunt Posted October 24, 2016 Author Share Posted October 24, 2016 Stu... again, I think the recording is perfect... I cant help but think my SM58 through some adapter might record more pure for me than my ios mics. I use the focusrite interface, they're fantastic and have phantom power The sm58 won't pick up very well for recording both guitar and vocals at same time sal . The rode will work fine , same as you're doing with your iOS mic set back and somewhere between the guitar and your head , but the shure sounds rubbish when I try that . but the shure is at its best in close proximity. I'm finding it hard to stay still and not whack the mic while I'm playing . Shure is great for vocal but slightly better at guitar recording than the rode is ... so I have sm58 at guitar and rode for my face. Two sm's would be perfectly useful Am I making sense ? 😄 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
