Yes, good one, nicely played and sung. I also liked the results you got here. Nicely done overall. btway..are you getting the bass tones you want by micing up nearer the amp (or at least better?).

all * easy..

Thanks Ian. Yes I put the Rode Stereo Video mic about a foot away from the main speakers. It still hasn't picked up as much bass as I had in the room but I am personally happier with it. I'm learning a lot as I'm going, so when I do feel I've sorted it I'll let you know how if you wish.

Thanks again.

Lovely cover Mike...the separation/articulation of the guitar is excellent ...is this a product of the new set-up???

[mvo5720]

Thanks Kev, yes. I set the Rode Video mic fairly close to the main speakers and went for it. I thought the vocal was a bit dominant in the mix ,but still decided to put it out. Thanks again.

[electricragtime]

yeah the vocal did stand out a bit...I actually thought that maybe you were using a compressor across the mix and thats what kept pulling the volume of the guitar back when you sang....but it still sounds good to me my friend
