Gideon, The John Butler Trio and "Ocean" in particular are a big thing in the De Faoite household and that's a brave choice to tackle and be inspired by - you should take this piece and develop it more. Nice watery atmosphere going on but the "stormier" section at the end needs to come in earlier I think to give the piece more drive. It would also be worthwhile experimenting with some additional slide guitar over it. What was the recording set up - I'm hearing some piezo "quackiness" and if you are going via a pickup it would be interesting to experiment with it recording it purely acoustically through a microphone. Good stuff Thanks for the feedback! It's in its early stages so a bit of guidance is really needed. It was recorded from the piezo pickup and I agree there is the annoying quackiness. However I am yet to purchase a microphone for some of the stuff that I really want to record! What Microphone would you recommend for home recording that produces good sounds yet won't have too much of an impact on my wallet? Gideon

Gideon,
I have a couple of AKG C1000S mics but since I got my Zoom H4n recorder I don't use them much as the two mics in there are really good. Not a cheap solution for you but if you put a post in the "Instrument & Gear Reviews" section you'll get loads of good advice on good cheap microphones for recording.

I'd second Dave's suggestion of trying a miked recording for comparison. You'd probably get away with a fair bit less reverb etc too - sorry, that's just one of my hobby horses! Enjoyed listening to this one and will be interested to see how it develops! Keith

I'm definitely going to get a mic or some mics. I think my recordings will benefit from them because, as you say, I've tried to use effects to mask it. Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed it and it will be developing with the mic purchase!
