Broken Moon -- electric dulcimer, recorder, strumstick
I use a digital video camera to record the proceedings as I record direct to my computer. I mix the audio to its final form, also exporting a solo track of each instrumental part as it sits within the finished mix. Then, it's a matter of lining up the audio of the video tracks with the audio from the in-mix solo exports. Once all is lined up, I delete audio on the various solo tracks and import the overall audio mix which, happily, has the exact same timing as the solo-exports. (2 days ago)

Goblins Are Go -- acoustic & electric dulcimer
Gld you like it. The dulcicaster is set up to sound like a Les Paul and is played through a Line 6 Pod -- don't remember the amp settings, though. The droning bass sound through out the song comes from the Green Oak Crystal VST, which is a pretty versatile piece of kit. (3 days ago)

Wire Mountain in Spring
LOL -- it is scary, isn't it? (1 month ago)

Three Wise Mice -- dulcimer, guitar, and gourdtar
The tuning is G D CC (well, actually, I'm only playing with three strings on the dulcimer, so it's literally G D C). That is, the bass string is G, the "melody" string is C. (2 months ago)

Vacancy -- electric dulcimer weirdness
It's run through a Line 6 Pod into Acid Pro software via Mackie Onyx. The thing that looks like the Boss is an Oxygen 8 midi-keyboard. (3 months ago)
