Neil Young - The Needle and the Damage Done (Cover)

Also I will echo what the other guy said about the c1000s. I own one and it's great for acoustic guitar and will really bring it out to it's full tone in the mix. A large diaphragm condenser would do well also, perhaps better. A Rode NT2A is a nice mic and versatile, sounds great on acoustic as well.

[TravisMoore]

@MrDrjenk Thanks, I am actually looking into getting a NT2A at the moment.

[MrDrjenk]

Nice job. Now I want an sm7b.

[TravisMoore]

@MrDrjenk Thanks, They are great microphones :)

if the moon were made of bbq spare ribs, would ya eat it then? your thoughts?

[TAYLORHWALL]

that was tastefully executed! solid job duude!

[TravisMoore]

@TAYLORHWALL Thanks!

Vocals sound good through this mic. For guitar you should consider a small condenser mic an AKG C1000s would probably be a good one for you. Mic in on the 12 fret and if you want a bit more bass, a little bit more to the soundhole of you guitar.

Don't listen to the comments of the drinking and the smoking, that's just bs.

Keep recording, doing good!

[TravisMoore]

@richbrutus Thanks!

[richbrutus]

@TravisMoore Another thing. You might want to try out some preamps, you say your tascam has preamps, ofcourse that is true, but there are special preamps for mics. A Goldmic or an ART for example (you have ART preamps that you can get from Ebay for only 20 bucks,) others are Joe Meek , Focusrite (very good but a bit more expensive) or if you are handy you can try and build one. if you want to invest in sound in your studio, than that plus he condenser I was talking about would be the next step

[TravisMoore]

@richbrutus Cool, thanks for the tip. I will look into getting one of those next :)

[narudh]

what? you don't drink? why the fc do you play music then?

[renezieck]

nice nice nice very nice

[renezieck]

nice nice nice

[jabre12]

keep it up, you'll get better :) check out my cover

[amaurythewarrior]

yeah the mic is too close to the guitar so it really sounds "boomy"

[mrweems]

vocals need more growl. Smoke a cig and take 2 shots before.

Mic is about 2-3'' to close to the sound hole.

[TravisMoore]

@mrweems Thanks for the tip on the distance. Not sure about taking up smoking though lol

[Xatari]

@TravisMoore Doing the right vocal exercises and warm ups helps... But for the love of God... don't take up either smoking or drinking to "make" your voice...

[TravisMoore]

@Xatari You don't have to worry about that, neither of them really appeal to me.

[Xatari]

@TravisMoore Good! Because those are bullshit tips

[EddKonnekshun]

@mrweems lolol, amen.

[ShivaTheAuspicious]

@mrweems Don't perpetuate that myth. Nothing kills a voice like drinking alcohol or smoking because it dries your cords right the fuck out. Lukewarm water, a little push down in the diaphragm and gut area and learning how to manipulate your soft palate will get ya some grit.

[rore010]

Sounds nice.. what pre amp were you using

[TravisMoore]

@rore010 Thanks, Mic is straight into my Tascam US-1641 which has built in preamps.
