about

Improvised instrumental on classic guitar.

Inspired by painting the windows of my house during the recent holidays, I wrote a new song. It is mostly in 7/4, but there is a middle section in 4/4. I originally used Ableton 6, which does not support changing time signatures, so I had to make sure that the third section started correctly. I think it worked out fine. I'm currently inventing all kinds of songs in my head, using non-standard time signatures. I have to practice, though, to ensure I play them correct. I also bought a microphone stand, which was sorely needed. This helped my with an easier placement of the microphone towards the guitar. Pointing it at the body gives a full sound with lots of bass, while pointing it at the arm gives a more light sound, which goes well with chords and gives an even volume balance. There is a small amount of sound effects (reverb and some compression) and some EQ (I used presets from Live EQ 8 for acoustic guitar).

When playing with the new Ableton 8, I tried to boost the sound of the previous recording of "lasuur". Now it includes an EQ setting for Acoustic guitar, a multi-band compression and a limiter to boost the level closer to the maximum.

Some dynamics got lost, but overall it sounds much fuller and louder. This might be suitable for MP3s, which are often listened to with headphones and background noise.
