I see I've messed up the categories this week - Majestikc wanted to be in B and Squonk wanted to be in A. I don't listen to the pieces before I post them so could you please state your category in your PM to me in future, pretty please...  |

@ Donovan and Squonk
Yep I did mic it – it’s my Yamaha Classical with no PUs.
• Used a Sennheiser e835 positioned 40cm away from the guitar aiming at the 12th fret. (my studio is acoustically treated and pretty dead with no standing waves)
• The mic is plugged into a Creative X-Fi sound card which has an analogue mic input pot.
• Capture software is Sony Vegas Pro
• At mix, I used a gentle bass roll-off from 640Hz.
• Used a little compression and limiting
• Added a little delay (to create a stereo effect)
• Finally added some reverb. (Attenuated the bass frequencies from 600Hz)
However, recording technicalities aside, I do think that the right hand technique I learned from the late great David Hewitt is the reason for the tonal quality I’m able to achieve.

Hey all. Thanks for the votes, but I must say I feel a bit of fraud winning this one. Evolucian asked for a rock/blues sunset and mine was classical.
Where is EVO by the way - he's conspicuous by his absence this week.
I'll soon be sending the brief for the next challenge to Rene.
