@@zaharishtonov Many thanks for your comment - praise indeed! It certainly sounds to me like I imagine the hardware sounds - but it's interesting to hear that you think so also having used the original units.

Thanks very much for your comment John Stephen - I'm really glad you like it.If I remember correctly I think that, yes, they were flat wound strings, probably 11 or 12 D'addario. That guitar had an absolutely wonderful sound - unfortunately it had a real baseball bat neck. But I'm often tempted to get another one just for the sound.

@@rogergamon Thanks for the prompt reply, Roger. My local guitar shop has a used one on sale. I may pop in there tomorrow and check it out, due to hearing your video (though I also have a difficult time with chunky necks). Again, very beautiful playing.

@@bakharandi Excellent! I'm glad someone else likes it, I think it sounds, as you say, glorious! Hope you enjoy it 😊

thanks @babybrown4289

@@rogergamon You’re welcome!

Thanks very much Paulie - I'll pass on your comment to the vocalist. Will check out your video.

Many thanks for your message Christy. Glad you liked the music. Your video is beautiful and conveys so much wisdom. As can be seen by the many lovely comments it’s garnered, you and Reflections of Life have created something very meaningful and special. Wishing you all the very best.

Thanks Preston, much appreciated.

Hi, sorry only just noticed your message. Do you maybe need to lower the bridge a little? Might be worth taking it to a guitar tech?

Many thanks Nimrod - I'll pass on the compliment to Louisa! :) Yes the plugin's excellent.

Yes they are superb - gorgeous smooth tails on longer reverbs and a lovely sense of space on the shorter ones - maybe something to do with the vibrant nature of the early reflections in the latter (no idea re the technicalities, but they sound really good - and what I imagine the original units probably sound like)??

Thanks Luke! How's it going? Hope you're all well.

Hi Mick, the 3 1982 presets are in Version 1 - I've just checked and they are not in V2 which came out a few months ago. If you've bought V2 are able to also download V1?- not sure.

Hi Bruno, many thanks for your comment. It was recorded just using Rode M5s, I think in stereo in which case it would probably be in x/y configuration. Just going into a simple 2i2 Scarlett. Harrison mixbus I find is great for adding a little harmonic information (that wasn't there in the recording chain!). These days I might prefer to use a tape emu plugin, though after your comment I might actually go back to Harrison mixbus for purely acoustic work! All the best, Roger

@@rogergamon Oh that's interesting! I might have to give mixbus a try, I wondered if it could be adding something. And since you have experiment with lot's of reverbs, do you have a favorite or few favorites currently? Especially for acoustic sounds to evoke beauty in a organic manner, without weird artifacts like so many have?

Yeah it's great, thanks for the comment.

Thanks for your comment David - glad it was useful.

Many thanks! - yes the plugin sounds amazing

It is excellent!

yes it's fantastic isn't it.

yeah it's fantastic isn't it

Ah great. Many thanks for the comment. ps, I just had a listen to some of your playing - wonderful!

HI there, sorry I don't know anything about dolby atmosphere - I only work in stereo. I would recommend dropping a line to Matt at Liquidsonics - he's answered my queries before - am sure he will know the answer :)

@@rogergamon Thanks for getting back. I've asked Matt about 12-14 times but he's so wrapped up in his brilliance he hasn't a clue where or how to help beginners. In the end I gave up. It's incredible really that there is nothing out there unless you've had serious previous training. It will eventually change but atm, nothing. I've searched up and down YT, DUC, Google and what's worse - user manuals... not there. If you don't believe me you can see for yourself. Thanks for getting back.

@@IRELAND_MY_LOVE Oh wow. Is it worth trying a DM to one of the film/TV mixers?

@@rogergamon I'm just finishing a piece and will let you know when it's done.

It's Harrison Mixbus 32C

I decided to keep it - I think they may only be worth around $50 - but it has got a really nice mellow sound, particularly good in the bass and mids to my ear. Might be worth keeping, especially if it has some sentimental value?

@pbaudinatnot so in this case. They tested it against hardware and the output nulled down to -80db. Can’t really do better than that.

And lovely playing by the way

Thanks very much for the feedback Ben, much appreciated. What a superb plugin it is.

Many thanks, yes the plugin is excellent

Much appreciated, thanks

Thanks Shane. Yes the plugin's is great isn't it.

It's Harrison Mixbus 32C Tanina

Fair enough, each to their own. The tendency is to apply more reverb in a demo than you might do ordinarily. That said I am a bit of a sucker for a reverby guitar. Tastes vary though. The plugin is fantastic at emulating different spaces IMO. All the best, R

@@rogergamon I was joking, everyone loves guitar with big reverbs don't they? My point is it was just such a nice guitar sound. But yeah obviously you can't have it too subtle if the whole ppint is to demo the reverb 😉

Nay prob. Thanks for the comments 👍

Many thanks - yes it's a fantastic reverb.

@@rogergamon out of curiosity, what mics do you use on your acoustic? sounds phenomenal

@@dharmaone77 Many thanks. It was just a matched pair of Rode M5 mics in xy configuration, mic'd quite closely. They are not expensive but I find they are a good. They are a tad bright - but I find that using Harrison Mixbus takes off a little of the top end and warms the sound a little - I really recommend trying HMB for mixing acoustic music (and lots of other kinds) - though there is an argument for editing in another DAW then exporting STEMs as it is is bit prone to crashing IME. An alternative to HMB is simply to use their bus plugin as it has the saturation which you can dial in according to preference - the demo version of this plugin is fully-functioning, you just get a 'nag' screen every half minute or so. I think some of the HMB magic might be in the DAW itself - but certainly the HMB bus plugin gives a good flavour. That said, the audio files from the M5 sound good to me anyway ie the tone. I tend to always record nylon and steel string guitar in stereo, usually in xy but sometimes in a spaced pair. If overdubbing a lead/melody line I use a touch of Trackspacer on the accompanying track to make a bit of space - I think here I panned the accomp. track slightly to the left also. Finally, as a finger style guitarist I find the length and condition of my nails in picking hand has a great impact on the sound - a scratchy sound from a rough nail is really hard to edit out! Sorry for long answer, but just some things I've found useful :). All the best, R

​@@rogergamon that's fantastic advice, thank you very much Roger for a super detailed answer! This is gold. I've used some tape emulation plugins before for taking out excessive digital top end, will give HMB a try. I have Line Audio CM3 condenser pair, will try that in XY mic'd close to the guitar. Trackspacer is a great tip too, have heard good things but haven't tried yet. One more question, if I may, since you have deep knowledge of guitars - any recommendations for a nylon string (UK or Europe), upgrading from a Yamaha C40? Many thanks!

Fair enough John. Each to their own. What is it btw?

Many thanks. Blimey that's a tough one. I think for the slightly more dreamy and lush reverb I would favour Cinematic Rooms (or Seventh Heaven Pro which has the V2 Bricasti reverbs which SH standard doesn't). Cinematic Rooms is getting endorsements by big hitters in the film world - though I'm not sure if they are particularly influenced there by the surround sound capabilities of CR (which I personally have no use for). Both great reverbs - don't think you can go too far wrong with either :)

Thanks! I didn't realize the Pro version also had the V2's. I'm going to buy Seventh Heaven Standard and upgrade next time a sale comes around.

@@liquiditymusic6658 Excellent!

It's wonderful. Just listened to some of your music btw - fantastic!

It's a Takamine 128CE - lovely guitar, not particularly expensive. You can hear older recordings of it here www.rogergamon.com It's fantastic to use the Cinematic Rooms reverb on it :)

Sorry! Hope you're enjoying the reverb.

Thanks OxMusic! Fair point. It's occasionally on sale I think. The basic version is $199.

Thanks for your comment Luminaire - a wonderful reverb!

Thanks for your comment J - yes an amazing reverb!

@@rogergamon Is it CPU heavy?

@@A.borealis I had to decide between this and Seventh Heaven Pro - for my needs at the moment I went with SHP. Love this reverb though - don't remember it being too CPU heavy.

Cheers for your comment Neil - yes a wonderful reverb!

Thanks for your comment Delon - yes, an amazing reverb!

Thanks very much Edison, much appreciated.
