Yes, another shameless plug for a remix contest entry, this time it's a
remix of "Bring Me Down" by Saigon.
The contest link is here (beware, requires flash):

This was made using a vocal stem provided for the contest entry and bits
of a backing vocal stem. All done with MixBus, Qtractor, LinuxSampler
(for the bass), Qsynth (for the strings), Yoshimi (very briefly for some
bass), and Hydrogen (using mostly the "Popsticks" kit from Analog Drums).
The acoustic guitars were recorded with a single AT2020 mic and the
electrics were recorded direct-in through a Digitech GNX3000.
Comments, criticisms and flames are encouraged.
Thanks!

Hello Steve!
Nice work, you have done on that. I don't know the original, but I like your
version. Only the drumkit sounds too low, it gets a little squished,
especially when the electric guitars come in. Same goes for the vocals at that
point.
Otherwise, interesting overall sound and nice arrangement. And thanks for
the extra MP3-link!
Kindest regards
julien

Thanks for the listen, Julien! I think what you mentioned is probably a
perfect example of why guitarists should not mix their own work, because
when I listen to it I can hear the guitars just fine ;)

Hey Steve!
At least yo're not a bass player, so you could refrain from thinking "AAAAAA
EEEEEEEE...." :-)
Warmly yours
Julien

The acoustic guitars were recorded with a single AT2020 mic and the
classic guitar, no?
what processing did you put on it? (eq, reverb, compressor, whatever)
where was the mike placed (close/far, near the hole/head, up/middle/low in
the vertical plane)? plugged in what preamp/amp? what is your soundcard?
(sorry, a bit of classic guitar nerdiness)

Haha. I'm no pro at recording acoustic guitars (or even recording
with a microphone), so I'll do my best to describe my process.
I used two guitars; a Cordoba GK Studio for the nylon fingerstyle
parts and an Ibanez Exotic Wood series for the verses. The mic was
about 12-18 inches away from the guitar (closer when recording the
Ibanez) and pointed at the area where the neck meets the body.
For me, recording the classical guitar is a challenge because:
1. I'm not that good at classical fingerstyle (although the experience
has inspired me to spend more time with it)
2. The dynamics have to be *exactly* correct. If I started off
playing too quietly there was an audible "click" from the microphone
which would not be there if I put more emphasis on the first note.
Some notes are boomier than others so I would have to back off on
them.
I use a M-Audio Firewire Solo so it has a builtin pre-amp and phantom
power. I use the compression and EQ that are builtin with MixBus.
The reverb was using Tom Szilagyi's IR LV2 plugin.
Thanks for the interest!
