It's not easy playing guitar with someone else remotely and singing harmony is not easy, either. It came out sounding very clean and uncluttered; everything sounded good.
She is using a very nice Neumann vocal stage mic (it looks like a KMS 105)! It sounds great on her voice.
Thanks for that!

Thank you, Glenn.
I really struggled with doing the harmony on this because 1) I'm not a harmony singer unless I'm in a group with sheet music, and so I had to pick chord notes out and really work on trying to remember the part, and 2) her delivery was not always the same, which is normal, of course, but not being in the same room was maddening. In the end I actually watched her video while playing and singing, and that helped nudge the vocals a lot closer together.
She is using a 2i2 interface that she told me she had bought earlier in the year to learn GarageBand, and she had a PG48 and was going to plug in the guitar. I loaned her a couple mics (it's a 104 and ATM450 on her Collings - thought she deserved a little better
). We "met" at opposite ends of her porch where I dropped a sanitized bag with the mics, cable and an old stand! She wants to buy them, so they will probably stay with her now. She did record in GarageBand, but sent me a WAV bounce with the two tracks panned far right/left and no FX, so I could mix the vox & guitar independently.
I tinkered with the titles and silhouette idea in a previous video so was lucky to be able to just copy/paste the words and then create new images. The Zoom-like frames and stuff (PNGs I just drop on top) are something I made up a while back when I was experimenting with that look.
