Here's a a cover of a great old spiritual song I love. I open mic'ed the acoustic so it's a little hissy(kinda gives it that old lo-fi feel) It's a little different hope you guys like it. Give me some feedback, I'd love to hear from ya

Hey guys thanks for the feedback. ODB haven't seen that movie I'll have to check it out. Sometimes it's nice to pull these old songs out, sorta change gears a little. can't say enough about the versatility of the GNX! What a capable tool 8)

dugraha,
Great post man 8) That sounded very cool!! Great vocals as always you have a great voice!! I like the sound of that miced Acoustic!! What is that your micing? I have been playing & recording the Ovation In the mic Input of my GNX4 now. I like that a Tad better than going thru a direct patch. Anyhow excellent Job

Hey Partch, glad you liked it! The acoustic is actually a Fender DG-3 mic'ed up with a Shure sm-57. It's a very cheap guitar, It's strung w/ Elixir nanoweb strings which make a cheap guitar sound much much better, I highly recommend them! Also I'm looking for another option as far as micing the acoustic, can anyone suggest another type of mic. either condenser or dynamic for small room recording?

I have not heard this song in a long time. They used to play it often in an old series called Then Came Bronson whre this guy rode around the country on a Sporster. I thought the tone you used for the lead was spot on for the feel of the song.Good post!

Sorry Bud the only experience I have is with this Ovation & is absolutely plug & play it records plugged so well. No micing here

As far as recommending a mic & such maybe start a thread in Recording or General Discusion abot mic suggestions. I'm sure some of the more experienced guys can give you some good suggestions

Hey once again thank you guys for the positive feedback. I'm always a little skittish a/b my vocals, I'm getting more comfortable behind the mic atleast I'm not burying the vocal track in the mix now
