> They were recorded separately. Three tracks of acoustic guitar, and one vocal track. Mic'd using a Rode NT1000 going through a Joe Meek VC3 Prochannel before going into the Delta1010lt soundcard. There's no processing on the guitars, whereas the voice has a SC4mono compressor on it and reverb courtesy of Freeverb :-)

Thank you for that information Conor.  The guitar sounds excellent but 
the voice is outstanding!  The VC3 is doing a great job providing 
natural dynamic range and punch and the SC4 compression and freeverb are 
perfect for a clear up-front vocal with just enough spatial processing 
that it doesn't sound like you're whispering it into someone's ear.

Very, very nice tune also, and fine singing.  Now I see your Web site 
described all that and more.  Off to take a closer look.
