If it makes you happy (Sheryl Crow) Aston Origin mic
This was a demo recording that I made testing out my revamped home recording space. Over the past few weeks, I have been experimenting and added room treatment and bought a new mic.
Both my guitar and vocal were recorded at same time with 1 mic (Aston Origin) .. Using my Spire Studio recorder... adding the Spire's Warm Space effect. Then I took the file into Reaper where I did minimal adjustment .. EQ (High pass) and very slight (8ms) channel time delay. Personally, I think it's one of my best "off the cuff" recordings.. meaning I didn't do much preparation .. Just placed the mic in front.. let the Spire auto set levels and hit record. |

Really Nice!
I bet you do some great Cat Stevens. If you don't, you should!!

Agree with all that he said! Great singing and playing! Was it a Gibson J45 that you used?

Yep.. my '08 Gibson J-45 with Adi top .. I stopped looking for guitars after I found it a couple years ago. |

Thanks Jake for your reply and picture! Beautiful guitar and sounds equally beautiful during recording. The tone is lovely. No wonder the J-45 is well-loved in AGF!

In order to get the correct balance .. I actually had the Single LDC Mic situated at chin level .. angled slightly downward and about 12-14 inches away from me. 1 Mic is nice and easy set up! |

I love this song and you did it justice. Very nice guitar playing and singing. The recording was wonderful, nice balance and clarity. The only problem is now I want a Gibson J45.....badly.........even more than I did before
You do need to look into Cat Stevens, your voice is well suited to his songs. |

This song is special and for some reason it touched me a while back.. Which pushed me to learn it... I'm glad I did it "justice". All the positive comments are very much appreciated. Okay .. So what are suggestions for Cat Stevens songs ? |
