Hello to all,
I've been trying to record myself playing my new Doubler. I'm wondering if anyone might have some advice for making these recordings. I originally just used my laptops recorder. Terrible sound quality! It's just a Flat sounding , with too many squeaks and squawks, performance. I'm thinking - I know that it's been a long time, but do I really sound that - Monoptone??? It doesn't sound that way to me as I play it. So I went out and purchased A.) a Sony IC UX570 voice recorder. Then I purchased B.) a "blue snowball" Mic thinking that the internal mic may not be cutting it, but that added no improvement.
I DO practice in a small room with rather low overhead - a semi-finished basement room. I'm wondering if that may be adding to the problem??
Another thing I tried is to use a digital camera I've got - a Sony 20 megapixel (not sure of the model) This probably added the best quality I've been able to manage, but still not what I was expecting to hear. I guess recording equipment could add up to $$$$. I probably won't go there .. the whole music hobby is becoming quite expensive for a retiree as myself.
Maybe I'm just hearing a better tonal quality than what I'm actually producing- the old ears don't work as good as they used to either!!
