![]() ![]() First, we are usually really conservative when it comes to technology. ![]() It set off an interesting discussion that mostly bears out a couple of things I have thought about guitarists (of which I am one) for a long time. Recently, Peter Kirn over at the excellent blog Create Digital Music wrote an article about Antares, the makers of the much misused and reviled Autotune, and their experimental onboard guitar processor that brings it to the guitar, an instrument that already has it (they are called frets). ![]() Update: I had the good fortune of playing a 1936 Dobro today and have come to appreciate that a vintage Dobro has certain advantages over the Rogue! Sweet guitar, so thanks to the folks at Pasadena Guitars for letting me try it, along with some nice acoustics and some sweet amps, especially the Matchless Independence 35. A steal at $3395, but I left it there, can you believe it? I am going to try some different positions, maybe putting one mic on the resonator and the second a ways back to pick up the room ambiance next. The recording is through two matched Oktava mics set in an X about level with the twelfth fret from about three feet away to get a little of the room. I just got a new guitar, a Rogue cheapo resonator model, made in Korea. The neat thing about resonator guitars is that most of the tone is in the tin pan that sits under the strings, so I (actually Ty at Guitar Works) replaced the one that came with it with a spun aluminum jobbie from Beard Guitars and put in an ebony/maple bridge and it sounds awesome. I will be learning how to record resonator guitar, play it, and pick up the ins and outs of my new digital field recorder, a Marantz PMD 671 with the basic preamp mod by Oade Bros. Whether you're looking to capture the warmth of vintage microphones or experiment with different tonal characteristics, the Antares Mic Mod Classic Microphone Modeling Plug-in is a valuable tool for elevating the sonic quality of your recordings and achieving a professional sound.Here is the project for the next few weeks: slide guitar fest installment 1.
