Thanks Barry!
Yeah, I see that. The info after "si=" is much different.
How the heck did you figure that part out? Or did you copy a link from my Soundcloud page?
Yes, I'd love for you to clean it up if you can. If you notice, it does clean itself up some starting at the :48 second mark, all the way till the end. I don't know what happened at the beginning. I probably messed up doing the analog to digital conversion and never checked it closely.
Do I need to make it downloadable from the Soundcloud site for you to get the MP3?
Anyway, the point I was trying to make is that it's not only possible to go in directly into the mixer with those types of guitars, but it might even be desirable. In the original recording (into a Tascam Porta 2 4 track cassette recorder) I recorded each part of the duet twice, which kinda thickened the sound in a good way (as opposed to just copying and pasting the identical track), and added some reverb in the final mix.
It was a good take. It's too bad the modern digitized version of the audio is so poor, which kinda spoils the music, but I only wanted to make the point that direct in is definitely a good option when recording with these type guitars. With modern equipment, it would have sounded really clean I bet. I do have new equipment and software now, so I'll see how it goes with this new guitar.
