Would you attend an acoustic recording experimentation workshop?

Only if it's out West. I need plenty of room to park my Holden.

Don't mind, I'm keen regardless of where it is.

No amps? But how will we make ourselves heard over the top of everyone else who is trying to play at the same time, in unrelated (and clashing) keys?

Acoustic guitar/recording Gearfest (Auckland)

Post by bender »

I reckon it could be fun to do an acoustic guitar recording experimentation workshop some time. Just round up whoever is interested and try a bunch of different acoustic guitars, techniques and mics. Any rehearsal space or hall would do as a venue (in fact a scout hall or something similar could be awesome). I'll happily supply the gear and will engineer if anyone in Auckland is interested. It would have to be strictly no amps allowed though.

Anyone keen?

EDIT: Poll added.

Sounds amazing. I’m in the wrong bit of NZ sadly, other wise I’d be there with my Lowden, my 1920’s Hilo and my 1960’s Gibson (once it turns up)

My brother Dan is a Jaffa and might be keen, I think he’s got a Larrive L03 nowadays.

Why don't you do one in Welly? Between you and Lawrence, it could be pretty awesome!

Same here, I have three different ABGs.

"And isn't that the finest acoustic bass guitar feedback solo you've ever heard?" - Billy Moose.

I'd be in if it matched one of my days off. Might be able to rustle up a couple more players/guitars as well.

I'd be keen too. Could probably rustle up a venue in Greenhithe or Albany too.

I've got my new Qu-16 mixer, which can record raw multitrack straight to a usb stick, if that's any use.

Great idea Ben,
Keen to just watch all these other awesome players recording some of their favourite stuff...
When faced with quality, I recognise it every time.

The audience must be made up of players. :wink:
