| the blueshawk is recording a range of samples to show how the BluesHawk sounds with different pickup and Varitone settings. Some of the recording will be done at Scott Ralph's Blue Lizard recording studio with Scott providing the backing - including drums, bass, keyboards and trumpet! Scott uses a Roland digital 16 track or I-Mac/Pro-Tools... I use a Fostex VF80 digital 8-track, - we both use a Shure SM57, close mic'ed, off-axis. The mix is mastered into Steinberg Wavelab to be processed for the web. For information about mic'ing a guitar amp go here... | |
| Fostex VF 80 8-track hard-disk recorder |
I intend to record material and tones likely to be of greatest interest to bluesy guitarists - which probably includes more-or-less anything...
Gibson include a number of short samples covering a range of styles on their website - I have pinched a few of their samples.
