I'm an admirer of Al Petteway's tunes and playing, and found this discussion about recording his new album interesting. What I found particularly intriguing for those of us who record at home is that the majority of the album was recorded in an untreated room, on an iPad. Mind you, the 'good microphones' that he mentions several times are likely to be very, very good and expensive ones, but the preamp is a battery powered cheapy, and iPads are not exactly top of the line computers. Most of the tunes are first and single takes, and he includes a long dissertation about his approach to improvisation, even while recording. I'm still waiting for my CD to arrive from 'Dream Guitars', but the samples sound very good. Kym

The iPad is incidental really as it is just a digital recording device. Good mics yes. A digital interface that only needs a couple of channels ....
.... oh and superb technique.
That might work :-)
