A year in a home studio 2

This should have appeared sooner, but an air-conditioning failure at 34sp’s datacentre put a temporary spanner in the works. Anyway…

Another week, and not so much time for recording. In the continued absence of Exciting New Musical Concepts (not that I’ve tried particularly hard) I decided to spend more time working on my improvising. Still focusing on ways to reduce the “burble”, I knocked up a backing track featuring three key (or rather mode) changes, forcing me to use “target notes” and play around the chords.

The result, via Youtube… Burble with Key Changes

(If you’re interested in the gear used, it’s just my recently acquired Tokai Love Rock plugged straight into a Cornford Harlequin, with a touch of reverb and delay applied in Logic)

    A brief listen this morning was quite inspiring - and a lovely looking guitar too. One question how does the sound get from the Harlequin into Logic (e.g. what’s your recording chain these days?)

    Same as ever, Andy - the Harlequin feeds the speaker in the soundproof box. There’s an AKG mic in front of that (D190E, to be precise) which feeds the RNP.
