D35 sounding nice for these two blokes

[tdlwhite]

Not a staple listen for me, but a nice sound from an old D35 in this US Tiny desk concert:



Just a couple of guys with a stripped down set. I only clicked to see what guitar the Edge was using, but I ended up listening through!

hum...maybe alittle pitch correction on that vocal wouldn't hurt

[tdlwhite]

yeah - I might have tuned the singer out a little.

[Bob Womack]

I like these guys.

I really enjoyed that! I didn't think there was any need for pitch correction at all. I thought the vocals were well done! Very natural, like you were right there in the room.

That D-35 really sounds like my old '67 D-35. He clearly has light strings on that guitar! And he's got the action really low...

I thought the choir added a great deal.

For those with the pitch correction comments, please post an audio sample of your current vocal ability without pitch correction

Like Glenn, I thought the vocals were VERY WELL DONE! I appreciate the fact that they showed up, and played these bare bones versions of songs we know with big production. The Edge has built a guitar sound around all sorts of FX so I found this refreshing. And also like Glenn, I thought I was hearing light strings and low action. Being that a D35 and a D28 are the same woods, I am pretty familiar with what a guitar like that is supposed to sound like, because I record with a D28 quite a bit. I would have liked to hear it with bigger strings, but he got the point across pretty well to me.

The use of the choir in such a subtle manner was also very nice.

Pretty cool!

I like them too, for many years and releases, but this was not one of their better showings….IMO

It's obvious even to my old ears. If you can't hear it...I can't help you.

Here is my dilemma: I like THEM, in fact I am very impressed with Bono's outlook and philosophy, but I've never much enjoyed their music.

I like the Joshua Tree and most of Achtung baby, but that's where it's for me. And mostly what I like about the Joshua tree is the production. That said I was was taken to one of their concerts and it was excellent!

I can hear just fine thanks you. But it's rock and roll, where a little pitch drift is more than common. Think Bob Dylan, or Mick Jagger. But since you were throwing stones, please revert to my suggestion.

Interesting that Edge is using an Orange Crush 35 in addition to the mic. That's a pretty crunchy sounding amp. Perhaps it's just for a monitor. Either way, his guitars sound pretty nice.

If you can make it work (like they do) thats fine. If you need a pitch correct, then you shouldnt collect hundreds of millions of dollars over the decades…
JMO, of course, worth exactly what you paid for it!

I liked "Pride: In the Name of Love" a bunch. Then it went south. I once admitted that I didn't care for U2 music in a Praise & Worship forum and everyone turned and looked at me as if I had suddenly sprouted a full set of antlers.
