What equipment do you use?
These recordings were all made very simply. The recent ones use a Zoom H2 with a Sony ECMDS70P stereo microphone (192, external mic, medium sensitivity). The older ones used an Iriver IFP795 with the same mic.
The 2009 tracks using steel string guitar were recorded with a D'angelico EXDC, a Boss ME50 and a Mesa Boogie Mark III. The nylon guitar tracks used a Godin Multiac SA -- the rest of the system was the same.
The Aug 2010 tracks were the EXDC, ME50 and a Roland JC55 (which sounded better than I expected.
The Sept 2010 tracks used an original Ampeg Reverberocket. Ever since I replaced the original tubes, it sounds a little muddy.
Anything else?
A few tunes have more than one guitarist. In those situations I'm the steel string electric player, not the nylon player.
