Remember You (Live autoharp solo)

I've sort of fallen in love with the autoharp but the old one I used in my last video only has 9 bars (chords) which is a bit restrictive. So I went out and bought a new 21 bar harp! 8^) This melody is called "Remember You" and was written by me about six months ago with lyrics in mind for my album but it didn't make it on for one reason or another. However, it lends itself wonderfully for the autoharp. This is a bit rough here and there but it's my first autoharp solo so don't expect too much! I've only just started playing this thing!;^) Sound was recorded using an AKG C1000S condenser mic through a Behringer UB1002FX mixer with reverb directly into my PC.

Ah! How refreshing to listen/watch a YouTube video by someone that knows how to record SOUND. Are you using a stereo microphone? Those long, slender fingers of yours certainly are an asset. That harp sounds lovely. Thank you for posting this. Stupid question, but are you wearing the headphones so you can hear yourself, or .... ? Loved this. You are great!

Thanks.

I use an AKG C1000s mic which isn't a stereo mic. But I run it through a little mixer which adds reverb and then I do a little post production procecssing in Cakewalk Sonar which produces the stereo sound. I used the phones with this to test the sound only and never bothered to take them off.

What a fantastic tune, wonderful! I don't play Autoharp but am pretty sure I'll be buying one soon. I'm going to guess from the intensity of the sound that this is tuned to a scale and not chromatic? All the best!

Didn't think I was going to like it. Then... I loved it. Thanks.

I hope you will record more autoharp music. It is the most beautiful sound on earth, and you do it so well.

Ahhhh... and I notice (with delight) that you are not playing with picks. I keep trying to use them, but I always end up throwing them off and playing with my fingers. Seriously, you are so good on 'harp AND guitar.

[Scarlett4Zanzibar]

Hmmm ... I have to save that recording information. What kind of harp are you playing?

Hey Lem! OMG it's so good to find you again! This is such a lovely and endearing song! I happen to love the auto harp. Many Blessings to you and yours! I have missed you my friend.
