MorrisrownSal Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 BBG. Wicked good man. What kind of mic? USB? Old school? Great sound. Never heard of Milk Carton Kids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j45nick Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Except for the fact that the wonderful sound of that J-45 almost drowns out your voice, I like this a lot. Great version of the song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe M Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Never heard of Milk Carton Kids. Check them out on You Tube. I discovered them a couple of months ago. Great harmonies and the guy who plays the Martin (Pattengale) is a great flat-picker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EuroAussie Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Quality stuff there BBG as expected. I came across the kids only a few weeks ago while reading the cover story on them in the current Acoustic Guitar Magazine. They have a lot of talent, but they guy who plays the Martin is just a tad too much Dave Rawlings wanna be I reckon with all the gesturing and styling of Dave the he seems to copy. Keep em' coming mate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buc McMaster Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Nice work, Stu! Good dynamics. J45 sounds very nice! Set the mic a bit higher for a better voice-to-guitar volume balance.............or just sing louder! Good on ya! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MorrisrownSal Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 BBG can you tell me how you recorded? USB mic into a laptop? What software? What video? What sound? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blindboygrunt Posted January 22, 2014 Author Share Posted January 22, 2014 BBG can you tell me how you recorded? USB mic into a laptop? What software? What video? What sound? Yip. USB mic into a laptop . then set the dell webcam programme to recognise that. Then I trim the video with windows movie maker and take the colour out cos paul simon said ' everything looks good in black n white '.

blindboygrunt Posted January 22, 2014 Author Share Posted January 22, 2014 Very nice bbg. Is that a standard 45 and are you plugged in. I had to get a TV to find that sound Fish Thanks fish!its a historic model. Think that's just standard but with white buttons. Guitars not plugged in. Just naked.

aliasphobias Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Splendid! The vocals sat in the back maybe a bit but not enough to ruin my listen. A nice heartfelt rendition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duluthdan Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 You dog... "Keep your hands where I can see 'em" Covered up most of those chords and runs with the microphone. Nicley done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdd707 Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 BBG .... man what can I say except keep 'em comin' .... thanks for posting doesn't seem like enough but thanks. EA .... had thought of the DR like playing of the Martin player but ya plays how ya plays and btw ... If you folks want to see a great concert with both Welch/Rawlins and the MC Kids, check out the Showtime (I think) companion to Inside Llewyn Davis (Cohen Bros Movie).
