Don't know how I missed this one. Oh :-) It's only a day old so I don't feel too bad. That guitar sounds beautiful, can you please find out the particulars? The guitar (type) how it was recorded and how it is treated? It's a beautiful Celtic tune, and Tim is one of my favorite singers. "I'd have the legends know, I held the line..." Beautiful writing..




Thanks Robby, hoped/thought you might like this one. Tim's guitar, a Dave King handmade dreadnought, was recorded DI from the K&K pickup into my Boss BR-8 (set to the tuner channel, so no colouration), and into Sonar via the M-Audio 24/96, then I just added a little Sonitus reverb.
 
I like that lyric too, gives me the shivers.

this is sweet.
i like that it does not feel rushed, but does not feel slow either....
the solo guitar sounds a bit direct.... like a piezo.....
would love to hear it blended with a mic as well......

the tone is really sweet tho.

nice vocal performance. the reverb is tasteful.
sound like you have a plosive and compression issue at 2:39 on 'i'd HAVE......." and again at 2:44
if you were singing into a compressor, it's there..
but if it's on mixdown (or mastering) you can fix that.

really nice tune.

Great James, you know I really like your work. Epic is certainly the word I think.

Spectacular!  It sounds "finished" but it could have gone much longer, too.  Thanks James.

Thanks Gonzo! Yep, the guitar is DI-d from a K&K pickup. The only mic at my disposal is a cheap condenser, and it doesn't do any guitar justice. I'll check out that plosive/compression issue, thanks again.
