Dude I’m from Memphis and I flipped when I saw him! XD (Big Marc fan)
@stexnookie We do too! Stay tuned for more videos and always feel free to
contact us for any gear-related info!
On the strumming we used a pair of Josephson c617set’s (gorgeous sounding
omnis), and on the finger-style, we used a pair of Schoeps with cardiod
caps. If you want to chat about the different mics, we’d love to talk shop
with you and help you identify the best option for your situation.
@imjealous We are using Collings guitars accross the board in this
production, there are actually several models used. If you watch the video
“guitar selection” linked to at the end of this production, we discuss all
of the guitars that we used. If you’d like to speak to us about selecting
the optimum instrument for your particular needs please don’t hesitate to
shoot us an e-mail to acoustics@soundpureDOTcom
This performance actually featured 5 different Collings guitars: Collings
D2H G 18569 Acoustic Guitar Collings Baby 2H 18512 Acoustic Guitar Collings
C10 Sunburst 18674 Acoustic Guitar Collings OM2H G SS 18780 Acoustic Guitar
Collings OM2H 18684 Cutaway Acoustic Guitar There’s another video in this
series that goes into more detail about how Jason approached the recording
process that you should check out. It’s called “acoustic guitar recording –
Keith Ganz Improvisation at SoundPure Studios”.
This is easier to do if you are using delay on a parallel track instead of
using delay as an insert. Create an aux send, and put your delay on the
aux, and then you can pan the delayed signal independent of the original
dry track. Let us know if you’ve got any other questions.
@DjAccelerate Appreciated you saying so! We are here to help you in any way
if you need it!
Comaring guitar with and without compression should be at the same
listening level, like this of course the louder version will seem to sound
better….
hey! this was a really helpfull video. Iv been practicing recording and all
the jazz for a while and i want to buy a really nice acoustic guitar that
will sound great in my studio. I have 2000 dollars and below to spend right
now so do you have any suggestions to get the best sound for the money?
It would be best to get in touch with one of our acoustic guitar guys –
they’ll be able to help you figure out exactly what type of acoustic guitar
is going to be the best fit for your playing style and the sound you’d like
to get from the instrument. send an email to sales (at) soundpure (dot)
com, and we’ll make sure you get in touch with the right guy.
Beautiful studio work! What is the make and model of this guitar? Thank you!
You’re more than welcome!! Thank you very much for your very kind words!
lovely sound! any idea what guitar (brand and model) this is? it sounds
fantastic!
which microphones are used here?
IT’S GASOL
It works just fine. Thanks a lot but that won’t be necessary. I’ll keep
following your channel. Once again many thanks for sharing all of these and
congratulations!
This Bricasti sounds so natural! Amazing stuff!
What are you going to say to your bosses when you knock your coffee on the
console?
@SoundWavesSurfer Thanks, and happy new year!
M7, I love it
Thank you very much for video, it was quite helpful, already subscribed!
What settings did you use for the decay of the reverb? Did you use a fast
or slow attack and release in the vertigo? Many thanks!
@stexnookie The M7 is probably the most used tool in our entire studio.
Don’t think we could ever be without it now.
The reverb is a Bricasti, the program was Sunset Chamber, and the decay was
2.2 seconds. The Vertigo VSC-2 was a “medium fast” attack, and a “medium
slow” release. If you’d like to check out either of these units we’ll be
happy to send them to you to demo!!
Love the video! Really great lesson on the idea of visualizing space within
the mix!
@soundpurestudios Yes, it’s true. I’ve compared the M7 with a lexicon
system, and still the M7 is my choice…
Tell me the name of the microphone please 🙂
short, and less athletic version.

they were asking.Beautiful sounding guitars!
Do you guys use compressor before recording?
