Nice blend of East & West.
“So many statements come in in so many different formats. We have to ingest those accurately, and then we have to figure out how to account accurately to our composers.”
Funny you should mention that. I was just working on my billing. I always seem to be behind 🙂
I’ve got two books of Classical Guitar music published through Mel Bay Publications. They’re a major music publisher. The cut is much worse than 50/50. It makes library work look more attractive.
Definitely, cutting the lows in a mix (especially with bass) helps a lot. Solo stuff I don’t cut the lows as drastically. Depends on the instrument & mic. I do a lot of nylon string guitar. It’s different from steel string.
The UAD Ocean Way Studios Plug-In can sometimes be nice to supply a desirable room sound.
Let me know when you figure it out 🙂
SAIL AWAY Guitar is my instrument. Acoustic is still always a challenge. The guitar, room, mic, preamp, compressor/limiter, reverb, & EQ are all key. Real Traps in the corners. Foam on the walls. Enough to damp the room without totally killing it. Small diaphragm condenser mic where the neck & body join. Definitely avoid the sound hole. I select reverbs for the color they add. In my experience, each recording is different. No matter what I do, I will still fight with the EQ & Verb in the mix to get the desired sound. Frequently some unexpected plugin will do the trick. I never know until it’s done.
My sympathies. Been there myself. Tried everything: Doctors, Acupuncture, Chiropractic, Reiki, etc. The very best regime came from a hand & upper extremity physical therapist. Basically, it’s 1.Heat 2.Massage 3.Stretch. 4.Therapeutic Exercises. 5.Stretch (again) 6.Ice (if there is inflammation).
The therapist cautioned the exercises can worsen the problem if you’re not careful. Go see a good hand & upper extremity therapist. I was pleased with the suggestions they gave me. It helped a lot.
Remember: Tendonitis & the associated problems are an injury. There is no magic potion. It takes time to heal.
Most Important: I do stretches (hand & arms) all the time. It helps tremendously.
Get well.
So glad I joined this site. Wasn’t aware of Indiginus Acoustic Guitar Collection. Been using it the last 2 hours. Very pleased. Thanks.
Forgive me Art but I laughed when I saw this. My ears are still pretty good but I have to use a magnifying glass to see the little numbers in my plugins. If it ain’t one thing it’s another 🙂
Seems my dumb stuff sells best. YANKEE DOODLE for example.
I connect with lots of different people. No money from it. I mostly use it as a pipeline to announce stuff (an interesting sale, video links, etc.). It’s become more of a PR thing for me.
