    A(nother?) piece of ubiquitous 1980s background radio music I didn’t appreciate until I heard Carson (or Josh) do it.

    I love Carson's covers for many reasons but especially because he leaves no doubt what the song is about, which is something that the originals sometimes fail to do.

    • @carsonmckeemusic
      @carsonmckeemusic  10 месяцев назад +1

      Thanks! In this case, it's just one mic, a ribbon. It has a pretty strong proximity effect, so I needed to back it up further than I usually do anyway - I just moved it away until I had a solid balance of my guitar and vox right out of the gate.

    • @christophzimmer4809
      @christophzimmer4809 10 месяцев назад +1

      Thank you! That shows, it doesn’t need all that fancy recording stuff to let emotions take their musically path!

    • @carsonmckeemusic
      @carsonmckeemusic  10 месяцев назад +2

      I'd say it usually takes less than one might initially think to make something you're satisfied with, and some of it comes down to just mastering the equipment you already have instead of buying something bigger and badder. Not that I haven't collected some nice things over time that I use for all kinds of different purposes, but great art can be made with an iPhone and a little stereo recorder.@@christophzimmer4809​
