    I like this. It is it recorded direct? I always find accoustic guitar so difficult to keep the string noise, the pick attack and my breathing under control on the mics.  I'm hearing none of that.  Very well done.

    Thanks for listening! I recorded this little piece direct, it's to noisy where I live to record with a microphone even at midnight. The guitar is a Lag 112NCE acoustic-electric nylon string. I just plug that guitar straight into the line-in of my laptop and use a little bit of fast compression to capture some of the "spikey" notes you get while recording direct. I also use a vst effect called Stereo Touch to give the sound a little more width and reverb to take away a bit of the "directness" .I eq the bass to get rid of some rumble ,boost the low mids for some warmth ,cut the high mids to get rid of that typical pickup sound and roll off the highs.

    LarryAlex, I really like your style of composing it sounds very European to me.

    Sounds fantastic.

    I'd kill to be able to play anywhere near as good as this.

    Lovely, melodic piece.

    Excellent.

    Yes, excellent composition, performance, production... Top notch.
     
    OK, I found one criticism... fade out is too abrupt.

    Hi all, thanks for listening and commenting. I'm pleasantly surprised , thought this would be to "minimal" to get any comments.The criticism about the fade-out is absolutely correct ,had to do this to get rid off fingernoise.

    Personally,  I think a little finger noise at the very end and some rustling about would be appropriate.

    You could add a reverb with a long tail there to make it sound more natural.

    Beautiful sound.....I really want an electro nylon and have been looking at Yamaha and Godin.

    Don't change a thing -this is a great track!

    This was really pretty. Great job considering you DI'd the guitar. BTW is it me is is the headstock on the guitar in your avatar really that big?

    Hi all, thanks again for all the nice comment.Had a lot of problems with login(log-in?) and even not able to see this forum like yesterday or weird server messages but your kind reactions are a real moral boost and I will be posting more in the future.

    Greetings Morenoise


    p.s. Either the headstock of my guitar is to big or my head is to small, but I doubt it.

    Wonderful tune and playing!

    You made my evening with this one.

    Please keep this as is..it's like listening to a fine piano piece..it stands on it's own merit.
