====================================


Hey folks! Here's a tune that I just finished recording called
"Blueprint". It's one of my more mellow tunes (can't make 'em all
fast i guess) with acoustic guitar, (real) drums, bass, and
vocals. This also marks my first "real" attempt to record live
drums...I used a Studio Projects B1 and C1 as overheads, and
stuck at SM58 in front of the bass drum. I'm not exactly thrilled
with the sound, but I don't think it's that bad all things
considered. I had to mute one or two miss-hits, but it's all pretty
much there.

Mics: Studio Projects C1 and B1...SM58 (only on bass drumm)
Pre-Amp: M-Audio Audio Buddy

Recorder: Roland VS-880EX
Guitars: Larrivee LV-03E (main rhythm), Guild

Hey, I thought that was really good. The guitar was my favorite- it was beautiful and soulfull. I think the vocals got a little too loud at times-it was hard to understand some of the words. But it's a great song. smileys/smiley10.gif

loud...I'll have to remix that at some point. Thanks for all the
kind words!

Well, if some of you weren't online this weekend you never got
a chance to check out the first mix of this song. Many of the
original comments were that it sounded thin, the vocal was too
loud, and the (real) drums were too soft. Check it out and let me
know if you think it's any better...

FYI, this one is called blueprint2.mp3.

You can still hear my first version at http://www.roberttait.com/
blueprint/blueprint.mp3.

Let me know what you think, or you think it's any better.

Thanks!
