Mahalo Doug,

Exactly! What Kevin said.

When I combine room & hall reverbs, it's difficult for me to hear differences on my tracks, especially the room verb. I could hear that slight difference that your combo made here in the overal effect. Subtle, but positive.

I could also hear a slight clarity difference in the upper mid's on the final mastered tracks - on the second one. Your friend's new toy seemed to add more space in that frequency range which enhanced the overall recording.

The second master also seemed to take out a tad more of that emphasized bottom-end wooliness (for lack of a better descriptive term) off the R-88 - an improvement too to my ears. Nice balance in the final product.

Bravo Doug!

Hope we'll see this as part of a "how-to-record-acoustic-guitar" recording or CD down the road at your site.

Happy Holidays & Mahalo a nui!
