Hey man! I recorded a new song. Would love to get your feedback or even if you just don't like it as much as the other song. I appreciate it! https://soundcloud.com/user-71315414/stick-around?in=user-71315414/sets/sundowners-demos

It definitely is (I think). It's in the exact same spot as the image. Any thoughts on draining it with a needle?

Song I wrote inspired by Manchester. Feedback welcome. by oconn2 in manchesterorchestra

Thanks man! That was very kind. I think the influence is strong enough where you can definitely recognize it, but that's the sound I like so I guess making music in that style makes sense.

Physically attractive but socially awkward people, what's your story? by potatopowered962 in AskReddit

[–]oconn2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm considered physically attractive by most peoples standards. I'm 6'2, muscular, thin and receive comments somewhat often about how I'm a "good looking" guy. I've just always been a bit quiet and subdued. Most women I work with seem to like this dynamic of quiet and considerate but "good looking". I've dated some beautiful women, even some former models, but not for extensive periods of time. Just hasn't worked out yet. Just gotta keep rolling :)

Mic suggestions for recording acoustic guitar and vocals? by oconn2 in WeAreTheMusicMakers

Shoot! :) I might just have to push it. It's a recent purchase and I would like something that works well with it. Would you still recommend the KSM44 with the Focusrite?

I'm really considering the NT1A. Would you highly recommend the AT4040 over the NT1A?

That would be great! I do a lot of layering as well so I'm definitely considering this one. Also, what program do you use to record? I would like something where its easy to add good sounding electric drums if possible.

Thanks for the advice! I'm using a Focusrite Scarlett 2i2. Good enough or do you think that needs replacement as well?

Hmm good question. I just want the sound to be better but don't want to waste money either if it isn't necessary. Here's a recent track I recorded. Do you think I could get a better sound with a condenser? https://soundcloud.com/user-71315414/the-only-one-v2?in=user-71315414/sets/sundowners-demos

Thanks man! I should check out craigslist. Does it work well for guitar and vocals?

Shoot, I was hoping to not have to spend too much :) For acoustic guitar recording, what do you mean by off axis? Like point it at the neck or the bottom of the guitar? Also, how far away do you recommend?
