Kay is exploring different effects in his latest recordings!
| Quote: |
Being crazy over the sound of The Shadows, I recently had opportunity to record "Theme for Young Lovers", first released in 1963 by them. The echo effect in the middle 8, trying to emulate Hank Marvin, was
created with an Alesis Quadraverb GT and using palm damping. Played on Steelocaster A6, Key of D.
The second is an Italian tune of the 90's by Zucchero, called "Diamante" which has a blues/pop feel for which I included a flange effect. West Coast C6, key of F. |

Gerald,
I enjoyed Kay's explorations very much. I think I will have to get into some experimentation this winter myself.
James. |

Hi Norm,
My recent recordings have been mostly ukulele stuff.
I don't mean to hijack Kay's thread, but if I post uke music on this site Brad usually moves it to the music folder.
So here goes...
In August of 2009, my family rented a beach house for a week on the eastern shore of Lake Michigan at Sturgeon Bay. I packed my Talsma tenor ukulele and my portable Zoom H4N digital recorder.
My plan was to record solo ukulele songs using traditional 1920-1950's recording techniques. I've always admired the musicians of that era and their ability to go into the studio and play a song from start to finish flawlessly, starting over if they made a mistake. Here's what I did...
My "studio" was an upstairs bedroom with a panoramic view of Lake Michigan - not bad, eh? At 7am, Monday - Friday. I recorded twelve songs in sequence. I recorded each song once (and only once) during that day's session. If wasn't happy with my performance or made a mistake during the cut, I would not record a retake until the next day's session.

You can hijack my thread anytime you like, Gerald! Lovely selection of tunes, they sound fresh from the oven. I liked in particular " Maria Elena", great arpeggios and note selection, and "Cheek to Cheek", which I am working on myself too. Yeah, musical presidents...the previous president of China played steel guitar!
