Today I decided to test recording with my Godin Nylon via the Focusrite Scarlet 2i2. The Godin Nylon has an output jack and thus I’m not recording via a mic but rather from what I recall to be piezo pickups on the Godin. The advantage of course is that all room noise is eliminated which is a constant hassle in the home studio. The track below also has applied some effects to warm it up a bit although not perfectly tweaked. The question is whether this is a viable approach.
I’ll leave it up to the user to make their own opinions.
so you tested with the TV on in the room?
Your attempt at humor has missed its mark.
No I didn’t have the TV on in the room but it wouldn’t have mattered because I’m going thru directly i.e. no mics. BTW, I do have a noisy floor heater which comes thru along with room white noise in the other recordings where I used the Blue Snowball usb mic.
I just now was able to listen to the master bounce to mp3 i.e. the link on the post and it sounds pretty damn good. I probably was too aggressive about filtering some of the highs but overall sounds very much like a warm natural classical guitar.
