Hi y'all,
Spending my Christmas vacation becoming reacquainted with my multitrack software and DADGAD guitar backup.
I've posted an .MP3 of a short multitrack experiment from this morning, just looking for feedback...
The tune is one time through "Banish Misfortune" on Copeland high-D whistle, backup on a Martin guitar tuned in DADGAD, along with bodhran. I'm playing all the tracks.
Here's the file:

Eventually, I'll get to releasing a CD of some kind if I can ever stop futzing with the equipment...
Thanks for any feedback! Any requests for tunes?
Cheers,
Michael

Very enjoyable recording Michael,'Banish misfortune' is one of my favourite jigs.I must admit,when people mention multi-tracking,i'm always worried that the music will suffer at the expense of 'technical wizardry' I'm pleased to say that this isn't the case with your recording.I enjoy your playing that i've heard on your own site,and i would indeed like to hear more(your playing is the main reason that caused me to recently order a Copeland low D!).One tune that i am currently listening to a lot is another jig-'Na Ceannabhain bana',which appears on Sean og Potts'album,and also Gavin Whelan's album, i'd love to hear your rendition on any future c.d. Keep up the good work!

Fantastic Michael. I truly enjoyed your track and would love to know when your CD is ready! I do not know if it is just my computer or Windows media player but I had to put the volume way down and it still sounded a little fuzzy. I'm no expert but perhaps the recording levels are too high?
Looking forward to the CD!
As for requests - do you do Lord of the Dance?

Sounds fantastic!
I can't tell this was multitracked by listening to it...very clean and doesn't sound "techno-mutilated" at all.
Lovely sparkling whistle playing too, by the way.
Best wishes,

Thanks for all the kind words...
One thing I found out the hard way was that if you have the Microsoft Media Player "SRS WOW" effects turned on for audio when you play back your carefully mixed recordings, they sound like junk, really overdrives the bass and messes up the imaging. I'd recommend turning it off unless you really like that kind of effect.
As far as effects, I've got a little chorus on the guitar to spread out the image, and a little reverb on both the bodhran and whistle. Final mix was run through some light compression to even out the levels a bit.
Cheers,
Michael

If I may make a software recommendation, the <A HREF="http://www.bbesound.com/products/maxim/ ... n.asp">BBE Sonic Maximizer</A> plugin does unbelievable wonders to recordings.
