As always doc, another lively and heartfelt classical guitar piece.
Was that the ramirez in action? and also if i may ask the details about the micing system used in the video like how it was positioned and the distance from the guitar, that would be nice to hear. 
Salamat Jamming_papu. Ginamit kong guitar ay ang Ignazio Rozas 1a. It is a spruce top guitar (not like the Ramirez guitars I have which are all cedar tops). The song has a lot of artificial harmonics so I opted for a bright sounding spruce top guitar.
The guitar was mic'ed using transparent mics ( flat with no coloration). I used Earthworks SR 30 mics for this. The first mic was aimed at the 12th fret about 2-3 feet away and the other mic was aimed at the bridge about the same distance away from the guitar. Preamps used were solid state (not tube preamps) as I needed a transparent sound with no coloration. I used a pair of Universal Audio Solo 110's for this.
The recorded signal was mixed out of the box (out the DAW) and fed thru a transparent analog compressor (FMR RNC) set at a ratio of 1:2 with about 2-4 db signal attenuation. The signal was then fed thru the Avalon EQ. I only added a 32K boost to give the signal some air. The recording was then fed back to the DAW and rerecorded (reprinted). Reverb was then added using a UAD plug in.
I think mixing out of the box into analogue hardware gives the recording better depth and dimension. I will be experimenting more with this recording technique once I get a summing amplifier. Thanks.
