Re: Measure of a Good Tune

Context is everything. What you're doing at the time you hear something. Who's there. What's just happened and/or been said. A song that to this day will instantly bring me to tears is "Bright Eyes" (from Watership Down). The reason being that it was on the radio at the moment I was told ...

Re: How To Mic Yourself Singing/ Playing Guitar As It Sounds When You Just Hear It With Your Ears

As mentioned - Over the shoulder and close mic that guitar too- and blend that gently with the vocal/guitar mix - might bring you home

Re: Mixes: art or product

Product is art - they are not indifferent.
When it comes to 'mixes' - there is craft. Some skilled - some not so.
I'm hearing excellent pop production --- just a sweet sweet fantasy baby - Pops not dead yet.

Christian Henson madness

Christian is a 'head the ball' i love it. Lyndhurst Hall is a truly lovely space for recording hall - strings float . I'm thinking what Hansa Tonstudio and Tony Visconti did creating an plugin enviroment where you can move the mics around - it was called T-verb. Lyndhurst Hall i think should try thi...
