Satin finish, flamenco-style classical guitar. Sounds great, records well, very happy with this one. One day, if I get really excited about playing flamenco, I may find I need something higher quality, but for now, this satisfies.

Time for an update. Since finishing up Solo Flight, I’ve turned my attention to the next track, “Strange But True”. There’s not a lot I wanted to change in this piece. As per my usual habit, it’s already been re-recorded a couple of times, but in accordance with my master plan, I wanted to replace the electric guitar with the Gibson L6-S, and go over the acoustic guitar tracks to see if there were any glitches I wanted to clean up. Oh, and also I wanted to replace the sampled Doumbek with a “live” recorded track, and the drum loops with XLN Addictive drums, again played “live” on my SPD-20, with sticks.
So, actually quite a lot of work needed doing.
Whilst re-recording the nylon acoustic guitar tracks, I noticed an unexpected problem. Since I’ve started using Dad’s Zoom H2 for recording the Ovation steel, I’ve realized that I am not happy with the sound of the Godin. I can no longer get a recorded sound that I’m happy with, either from a microphone or from the piezo pickups, or in any combination. I guess my tastes have changed.
Well that brings me to the next post. A new addition to the arsenal comes to the rescue!
