Recording contract on the way...

[RickM]

Oh, hell. Excuse me, that's a typo. Meant to say "recording equipment".

Ordered from MusciansFriend;

Bluetube DP 2-Channel Mic Preamp
Gold Series Stage Mic Cable with Neutrik® XLR
SM57 Mic
MS205ST Low Level Boom Mic Stand
PODxt (for the Agile)

So, fare warning guys. You might be hearing me on the "Showcase" thread, destroying your audio sensibilities. I intend to record at least one clip before moving on to Lesson 2.

Hey right on. I'll be looking forward to hearing that. Glad you kept your Agile now eh? :)

Right on Rick. I'm a little disappointed ya din't get that recording contract though. :)

Nice choice of gear btw. I just got an SM57 myself, haven't used it yet. Plan to Thursday night. You'd get the best sound by using two of them, in an xy config. like in the pic. Good distance from the guitar (acoustic) would be as close as you can without it gettin' too boomy. If it's boomy, move the mic(s) out, but no more than the length of the guitar body. I guess you'll record the Agile direct.

Here's a couple pics of the xy config:

That's always a good thing. I would have felt bad about that. :( It is too bad you didn't get the contract, but hey now you can get your demo done... one step closer. ;)

Thanks, I may try that. Saved off the notes.
