    Josh is a prime example of how much work self-employed folks have to put in order to not have a job. As a musical noob I thought the work was merely thousands of hours of practice to play all the right notes ,but I guess that only gets you half way there, which makes me twice as appreciative of all of Josh's videos.

    3:22 I think the reason they played much louder in the past is because the noise floor of tape was so much higher than that of digital recording. So playing softly means that when you add extra gain in the mix the noise floor comes up significantly as well.

    As a total non-musician this is fascinating. The amazing sound Josh pulls off recording in the middle of a park or on a street corner is beginning to become clear to me now…. My impression he must either know magic or have the world’s most singularly expensive microphone was perhaps, uhm, overly simplistic. It’s just that his genius and scope of expertise are broader than I recognized.
    I’m obviously not the intended audience for this one, and some of what he said may as well have been in Aramaic to me, but it was cool to see some of the back end and fun to try to listen for the differences. It’s a window into a different perception of sound and music.
    Josh, if you happen to read this - many thanks for posting this video!

    • @kevinjoshua9728
      @kevinjoshua9728 7 месяцев назад

      It's one of the thing my non-musician friends are usually surprised about. Unprocessed recording sounds nothing like the songs they heard on spotify and most musicians have a bit of know how in audio engineering, which just come with the job. After all, if a performance isn't recorded then it doesn't "exist" (to be heard again by others).

    I'm 76. I used a Vox AC 30 and a Gibson SG Junior (it only had one pickup) and I got a wahwah pedal (still have it- still have them all except the SG that fell and broke in the Marshall shop in Hanwell, London in the mid 60s) and I was rocking with my mates in the local community centre around Greenford and Ealing. Progress has left me behind over the horizon. I have been enjoying Josh music for years, and had no idea of the science behind what he did. Josh guitar music was all I thought - though, to be fair, I think that is what I am meant to think, just hear the music. Great work Josh, Reina, Toni and the others. Amazing work and dedication to the craft of making music.

    When you applied the 1Khz cut it tickled my ears in such a good way! I closed my eyes, took a deep breath, and was transported back to 1970 (12 years before I was born).
    The tone you created with some *gentle* digital massage was so warm and comforting and it just hits that je ne sais quoi. It scratches the musical itch.
    Thwack on!

    “…90s Sting. It’s not the vibe.” 😂 And how’s that recording break going? 🤣 Seriously, I love these recording geek out videos. So much art _and_ science to getting that perfect sound. That subtle reverb and chunky recording tape effect is just awesome. We hear the results, but we almost never get to see all that goes into it. I grew up on that vintage acoustic “thwack of yore” and I just love it! Thank you! 😃

    In late 1968 I asked Frank Zappa what his secret was, and after a contemplative drag on his Winston, he said, "The Strap: I soak it in Earl Grey Tea before I go on." He later added that if Hendrix (still with us at the time) knew about The Strap he might actually accomplish something. After that night, I started to REALLY listen. Carry on, lad, you're getting there!

    You nailed it nailed it nailed it. I wanted to get a time machine so I could go to 1978 and buy this album! Also, I learned so much during your DAW session that technicians were never able to explain to me. (f.i. what pre delay does on a reverb.) Much to be said for a technically inclined musician pointing these things out. It's all MUSIC, including the mixing and EQing and compressing and reverbing. Sounds like these disciplines didn't always use to be as separated as they are today.

    When I was starting out playing (60s and 70s) the only kind of acoustic strings I could get in my little town were Gibson Monel. Monel was a nickel blend. I'm pretty sure phosphor bronze wasn't available back then. The nickel strings don't have the bright shiny sound when you put them on. They also sound cooler the deader they get! I use a set Martin makes now called Retro that are nickel wound and during the pandemic I left a set on one of my guitars for over a year. The more dead they got, the more I could hear the sound of the 60s recorded acoustic guitar sounds I grew up on. Try those out (if you haven't already).

    When I have the chance of using two mics, I try to point them at different spots of the guitar. Pointing at your right hand to hear the pick hitting the strings is often a good idea. Also, you can pan the mics left and right to get a wide stereo sound. Just make sure both mics are at the same distance from the guitar to avoid phase issues.

    To me, you wanna get the acoustic sound you really crave, it starts with a quality guitar that offers good warmth and projection. And experimenting until you find the best strings and gauge for that specific guitar. I've spent years exploring string options - I even keep a diary of first impressions of a new string type as well as after they have settled down from their brighter "newness."
