It's a rough mix of my as-yet-untitled three-minute opus. I had quite a bit of fun recording it.
In the last year I've relocated to DC, so I only managed to bring my acoustic guitar a few months back. This is the first time I've recorded it, and I have to say the NT1-A (if you follow that link, I'm pretty sure they mean "why pay more," not "why pay less") did a superb job. As usual, the electric guitars are my Epiphone Les Paul run through a Behringer LX210 and out through the XLR ports. Recording direct is awesome.
I also managed to work in a few toys. It heavily employs the EBow, a very fun gadget I'm not very good at using. And right as I thought I was done recording, I spotted an egg shaker I bought with some birthday money a couple months ago, and presto! Listen for it on the right side of the second verse.
Composition-wise, I'm still not sure it was the best idea to have so many solos. It opens with one on EBow, then two verses, then an acoustic break with a classical-ish solo, then right into a big electric one. I think they turned out well though.
I'll mix it better sometime soon, and master it, but until then the rough mix has a decent volume. You be the judge, and let me know your thoughts.
