flatbaroque Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 Gday all, here's an original. Main guitar is J-45 miked up with vocals at same time and the lead licks are direct input Martin OM-18V with a K & K pickup. So i've used my two favourite guitars in the one song. I overdubbed the lead stuff. It's a rootsy southern gothic journey type of song...from Sydney...haha.........it's a bit long but southern gothic journeys can end up that way. Any feedback appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blindboygrunt Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 the martin treads on the vocal by being a little loud . to me anyway. i hate critiquing anything aside from that.... like before ... just plain brilliant . i mean i'd buy this stuff , right up my street . whats your story john ? you makin money at this ? i think you're a serious talent . ok , thats enough flattery or your head'll get big ..... seriously tho, brilliant stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pfox14 Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 That is one of the best sound clips I've ever heard that demonstrates the clear difference between Martins & Gibsons. The Gibson has that bluesy twang that we all love so much, while the Martin rings out like a clear bell. I do think the Martin lead parts are mixed a bit too loud. They are drowning out the rest of the song too much. However, really great little tune. Congrats Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onewilyfool Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 Hey flat..I really liked the song...to my ear, the volume of the Martin was a little loud, detracted from the vocals. I would edit the volume down, especially when you are singing, and a little less in between the stanzas. Great song ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdd707 Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 Very nice! I agree with the above re: Martin too loud. Sounds like a acoustic version of the Drive by Truckers or some Nebraska era Springsteen (talk both as a good thing). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
