Description
This is more of a call for advice, again, than anything else.
My guitar teacher (John Lawrence of New Orleans, for those curious flamencos out there) suggested I record myself to hear better my mistakes.
So, I decided to start with a solea, the mother of flamenco music, because I've been doing a lot of work in it recently. (And boy do I hear the mistakes.)
I recorded this on a crappy mic with no effects and straight EQ. I also only corrected my most egregious errors. There are still plenty.
Getting to the point: What should I be keeping in mind while recording? What kind of levels should I be playing at? Should I be messing with the highs, mids, or lows in any way? What effects do/don't work with nylon guitars?
Flamenco has a lot of inflection, a lot of volume changes throughout any piece. Besides the rasqueados and alzapuas, which can be loud, there are the golpes, which seemed to totally blow out my recording levels. How do I avoid that? Then there are the delicate parts. I mean, should I just be recording the piece in parts and then going back and adjusting the levels for each part later before final mixdown? That seems annoying.
Entonces, muchos gracias para sus aviso, clasico y flamenco guitarristas.
