This is my latest tune, thankfully the lyrics are not from experience.
 
The rhythm is my new Taylor.  I double mic'ed it with two condenser mics.
 
Enjoy, I hope.   Daryl

Another great song wonderfully written, performed and produced by the Master. All you needed to do was add my name somewhere in the lyrics and and I could share it around the web as "Life Story"! BUT I GOT THE DOG!

That's nice, your site even works w/my iPhone :-) 
 
It's hard to make "and easy to spend..." The Taylor sounds good but I can't hear it well, not saying it's not sitting well in the mix because to me it is.. I don't hear any low mids from it thought? It's tricky to use two condensers and not get comb filtering. How did you have them positioned? Did you use any tools to help with the dual condenser input to help prevent the filtering? If so, please elaborate.
 
Good song, and nice performances and recording as always.

James, Shad, Malcolmb, John  Thank you!
 
Robby,  Obviously I don't know what I'm doing.  I just set them both up fore and aft of the sound hole and mixed the two tracks as best I could.  What should I be doing?   And can you recommend any good reference material?

Well, there are a few options, there's a trick in recording wi/2 condensers in different positions. I don't do it for that reason. I use a figure 8 positioned w/my guitar below the 8 for the side, with a condenser just below it pointed directly at the o hole. The figure 8 track is recorded in stereo. When you're done you have two tracks. You take the fig 8 track and clone it, pan 1 hard left, the other hard right, and one of them you invert phase on, this gives you a true mid/side recording. And you can control which track is left and which is right as it will probably be naturally to one side or the other.
 
And send all three tracks to the acoustic bus where you compress, excite, eq, etc. put your verb send there too (on the bus) and send the bus to the master.

Thanks Robby.  I will experiment with that, I have a lot to learn as this is new to me.  While the onboard pickups do sound nice live, it was not what I was after in recording.  I tried mixing the DI and mic tracks but I liked two condensers better, even done incorrectly.   I'm off for the weekend but will be experimenting next week with my next tune.
 
Thanks.

I know it isn't country, but I could not help but think about Jerry Reed playing and singing "I got the shaft".... especially when you hit that twin picking in there.
 
great job.
