I call this an “update” because you may have read my earlier post or seen my videos on recording fingerstyle guitar for Youtube videos.
Here, I will describe my home studio setup with getting a great sound in mind.
Please comment below if you have a suggestion or want to mention your gear – or, especially if anything I am saying is not accurate!
The Attitude
All kinds of gear ail sounds great for fingerstyle guitar. There are many ways to do record it, mine is just one…here goes.
I just had the pleasure of spending some time in my home studio recording a few solo tunes.
During the past few days I have experienced the range of emotions from elation to frustration, mainly with my own guitar playing.
I’d like to share some insights with you. The following applies to do-it-yourself home recordings as well as sessions where you go to a pro studio.
HI Gang!
For those of you who are tech junkies, I’d like to tell of my journey on “the other side.”
The following negative experience had a very profoundly positive effect on my music and concentration.
On March 7, 2013 I was robbed while on tour. My backpack with my laptop and many other personal items was suddenly gone.
2 hours before a concert I had to freeze bank accounts, close credit cards and change passwords to 15 websites in a flash, because like an idiot I had no master password on the machine. The stress was terrible!
Yet…the strangest thing happened about 10 days after the theft.
