Second Recording with Builder's Reserve V
« on: August 01, 2012, 12:08:50 AM »
I recorded a short classical tune called "Little Romance".

HiRes version is here.
LowRes in original post is here.

Recorded using Blue Yeti Pro and Logic Pro.
This time I added a splash of reverb and slightly tamed the high end frequency.

Cheers!

Another nice clip with great playing!  Thanks for sharing!  :D

BTW, I didn't mention it on your other thread featuring your BuildRes guit, but I think the maple really is "signature sounding" in the mids voice and bass of your recordings.  The bass has that tell-tale "tight focus" and decay, as opposed to RW which IME has more overtones "surrounding" the fundamental bass notes one hits.  You can really hear it on your indiv bass notes (and the strumed chords on this recent clip).  And the mids are nice and very "present" in your recording sample.  Nice sounding guit, and again, wonderful playing.  :)

Thank you, Edward.
Your analysis is spot on. I love the "tightness" of the tone for certain songs including this one.

BTW, I found that the overall sound can be improved by choosing different encoding (AAC instead of MP3).
Here is a "HiRes" version of the same recording.

Very nice.  Pretty sure I would need 6 hands and 3 guitars to play that.  ;)  The depth of talent and knowledge here is impressive.
