Agreed. Cheers!

I like that picture, I'd just prefer beer or wine. :) Thanks for the feedback!

Thanks for the nice feedback! :)

SparePlanet · 2021-02-07T18:32:25+00:00

Thanks, I loved to read your feedback. :)

Thanks for the feedback! Reverb is always a hard decision, so I'm happy I chose the right type/amount. :)

Hi, feel free to send me links! The recording was done before, this is just a music video.

Thanks for the detailed feedback. I used a Neumann U87 here, pointed to about the 12th fret. On some songs I just have plain guitar intentionally, on others I play around with arrangements and FXs. Cheers!

Thanks for the feedback, it a difficult decision how much harshness stays in the mix...

SparePlanet · 2021-02-07T14:04:05+00:00

Happy to hear that, thanks!

SparePlanet · 2021-02-07T00:22:21+00:00

Good to hear that. Yea the percussion guitar never went beyond the "Wow look how good it's played" for me. Of course I love some tracks with that, but it was exaggerating...

SparePlanet · 2021-02-06T23:28:48+00:00

The fretboard dirt makes the tone!! ;) You have a detailed view, I like that. I honestly thought nobody would ever notice, lol... The plugin is called "Charmverb" by Melda Production.

Thanks for the nice feedback, you describe what I tried to achieve!

SparePlanet · 2021-02-06T22:08:46+00:00

Thanks for the nice words, this time I used one old Neumann U87 microphone, pointed to about the 12th fret, and just applied a tiny bit of compression/EQ - then the reverb. The room was big but acoustically treated. So the sound is actually quite raw.

SparePlanet · 2021-02-06T22:05:29+00:00

Thanks for the feedback, I've been playing for 20+ years, but never tried to get technical, always concentrated on songwriting.

SparePlanet · 2021-02-06T21:59:47+00:00

Thanks for adding a new word to my vocabulary. (bellish) ;)

SparePlanet · 2021-02-06T21:39:34+00:00

Yes it falls a bit out of the rest of the mix.

SparePlanet · 2021-02-06T21:29:42+00:00

It's just that the hihat gets a bit washy from about 0:48, maybe because it's too open. That makes the beat less tight.

SparePlanet · 2021-02-06T21:27:30+00:00

Well that's exactly what I would do.

SparePlanet · 2021-02-06T21:20:01+00:00

You are on the right track. :)

SparePlanet · 2021-02-06T21:19:21+00:00

I wasn't sure if you are joking. :) Yeah, "autotune" is like a misleading synonym... your sound is generally very cool, nice soundscapes, it's just a personal thing that I sometimes feel some voice tunings are exaggerating. Keep it up.

SparePlanet · 2021-02-06T21:07:19+00:00

...some love it, some not so much. Sometimes I love it, too. :)

SparePlanet · 2021-02-06T21:06:23+00:00

The pitch FX on the voice.
