HA HA until I saw the mic, I thought this was an instrumental piece called "Blue Snowball Test"... which by the way would be a cool name for the song, or even for a band name for that matter.
i reallly love the sound but on other reviews it sounds no where like this here it sounds so clear, why is that? im looking to buy this or and Audio Tech at2020 debating..
Do you hook it up through a preamp? If yes, could you please tell me which? I am looking for this type of sound. If it's just the freaking mic I'm ordering that thing ASAP.
I am thrilled with the quality of the sound by this mic, tho by watching some other guys playing guitar and recording with this mic it seemed that u used some special configuration or smt or software to make the mic work so good for you.
Can you tell me what software did you use while this session?
is it just me or do I hear two guitars? Like around 1:00 you can really hear it and how it doesn't seem possible to play without two guitars and recordings
@dreamdemon99 he is layering at least two different tracks. to me it sounds like three at some points. if you have a hard time just hearing for sure it, watch where the camera angle changes and it's still the same chord, he's using a different shape on each angle
The incredible sound quality might also have to do with the fact that he's playing a Taylor. Not knocking the snowball, but it might sound different with a lower quality guitar.
I can't help but think that this would have been better on position two. the -10db compression would have done wonders for the sound. Or maybe you could have positioned the guitar further away. Something tells me that the room has not been set up for recording.
Great song...I was wondering, around 1:12 it sounds like you're picking and strumming at the same time...although it looks like you're just strumming in the video. How did you do this?
i noticed that in the beginning the sound comes from the LS and then into the right side. is this the mic's functionality (as in, was this done through the mic's ability to absorb sound through different sound tunnels) or from a program?
How did you do your setup? I actually bought a Snowball about 4 months ago but I returned it cause the recording sound was terrible...but this video proves otherwise.
@MaxBao2 I've been playing for about 17 years now and yes at times it is difficult. But most things that are worth doing have some level of difficulty to them. I say go for it :)

ps. always feel free to shoot me any questions you may have, I've been a guitar instructor for about 10 years as well :)
@guitaribi93 hmm, well we haven't started recording it for real yet. I still want to mess with it and change it or add something. Pretty soon I would think though :)
@ruckerd2324 haha nice, yeah I was figuring out a song and that was the tuning they used. Its kind of interesting, I want to mess with it a bit more. Good Ear :) Oh but only the 6th and 5th are lowered. The 1st string remains an E
that's beautiful one of the best guitarist i have ever heard ")
