Sounds great on the dobro - damn babies!
I hear a nice dobro. I also hear really prominent resonances at approximately 294Hz and 580Hz. Are they artifacts of the instrument or microphones?
I was around 3' from the mics. Chances are, anything you're possibly hearing is much more room related (possibly instruments scattered around the room, too) than that instrument or mic. That particular resonator guitar is a Scheerhorn, an extrordinairy instrument and the very best that money can buy for recording. It is insanely balanced and the R10 is also a very linear mic regarding frequency response, especially at distance recording in my observations. I haven't gotten to use the Hotrod here at my place yet, but I look forward to that.
Just listened to your video on your page. Wanted to say that the R-10 would really help tame the harsh pick scratch sound on the acoustic guitar I heard throughout your recording and you should certainly give one a try.
@@dobrocat1 Thank you for taking time to listen to my music. I really appreciate that. That song you heard was recorded probably over 13+ years ago and the video released about a decade ago. I've definitely learned a lot since then, but the tone of the guitar heard on the recording is really faithful to the sound of the Martin D-41 capoed 8th fret used in that song. I'll definitely consider getting an R-10 and re-recording this old song.
what about your speakers. they might be causing the resonances. unless you’re using headphones ?
Good point, @chinmeysway. It's been a while since my first listen. I just took another listen on 2 different sets of speakers and 2 different sets of headphones. I'm still hearing the same things and now there's another resonance around 860Hz that stands out to me as well. I also took a look at the audio in a spectrum analyzer to check myself. Those frequencies are a bit louder and ring out a bit longer. Not saying they are bad. Those prominent resonances might be the defining features of the dobro that help it cut through in a mix. Really I was just curious if the microphone was contributing to any of that OR if it was only the instrument...a question of how "flat" the microphone is. I guess it's hard to know for sure without hearing the instrument in person and being able to A/B compare that to the recording.
