It's been too long since I created something new - 18 months.
This may sound easy, but the fingering is tricky.
Recorded this with logic pro x for the first time - it is very sensitive, it was picking up noise from the fan on my mac and the street, so much so had to use adobe audition noise reduction. I think I will go back to Cubase, but I'll have to buy the latest version as Cubase 5 is not supported on the mac os I'm on

Very soothing & great clear tone of guitars blends like chimes. .Melody classic , essence of grace & poise. Actually imho a bit of real ambience never hurts. I quite often record with the back sliding doors wide open so there are usually birds, breeze in trees or kids playing etc.BTW love your playing

It's been so long since I recorded anything, it almost feels alien, especially using a Mac for the first time - coming from a PC and a different DAW Logic Pro X makes it even more alien. I'm selling a few things on eBay at the moment, the cash I raise will go to buying Cubase 8 and a wide angle zoom lens for my Canon DSLR camera.
since i'm a fan of celtic music, of course im already a fan of this. beautiful, nice technique dude. you mentioned however, that logic is more sensitive than cubase. how can a daw be more sensitive than another? isnt it the microphone that affects the recording, rather than the daw?

I could test and compare on the next recording using cubase on my PC and have the mac on positioned in the same place.
I just remembered, it's the impidience that effects the sensitivity of the mic. I still have the Art Gold Tube Pre Amp that has this impedience control, I use it to get a retro sound sometimes.
Anyway thanks for the thumbs up on the music, it was a real challenge with the fingering to get that Celtic sound on a standard six string.
I love it. Though I regard this more as medieval than typical Celtic - either way this type of music totally brings me to a time of castles, graceful ladies and Burgundian banquets (but when the associations with ill hygiene and the plague sets in I'm always glad to find myself in modern age again 
)
Ah, anyway, brilliant play there, clarity of the recording is top notch. And about that real ambiance: indeed birds, flowing water and leaves rushing in the wind are a bit more pleasant than a computer fan's whizz, but I didn't notice it. It really sounds really really good and makes me want to work on my own guitaring skills.
cheers!

I used Adobe Audition to reduce the unwanted noise, it's Ok, but it does also get reduce the natural acoustic ambience sounds of the guitar, which are probably the nicest, so I used it sparingly in that the guitar kept most of its acousticness. I think I could try and mute the mac by putting a rug or something over it, but I need to make sure it's ventilated, as Logix Pro X uses a lot of the CPU, working it hard, hence the fans kick in.

I'm getting clipping to hell??

I know you have mentioned clipping problems on other uploads here on the AMP. This tracks use less than 0 dB's on my system. I'm guessing, check what you have on your master out channel on your mixer, are the faders at zero decibels?
Cheers

Wow, great medieval-celtic piece! The composition is brilliant and your guitar sounds amazing. There a few sloppy fingering here and there but no big deal - the song sounds quite tricky so it's understandable.
Anyhow, fantastic Job.

Nice to see you on the AMP, are you doing much in the way of music these days, how are your studies going?

Thanks Iz, yes very tricky fingering to get that sound. Yes a few notes are dampened in error, especially at the end, it was the best take of many.Iszil wrote…

It's been years since I don't record something new, but I have some ideas stored somewhere. The whole process of sitting in front a computer to sequence VSTs and record seems so tedious now that I just don't feel like doing it, but I still play guitar and bass every other day. I'm currently playing and singing in a cumbia band. My studies are doing well but there are still a few years to go. I'm also climbing a lot so that's taking a huge part of my spare time.
Sometimes I come to the AMP but it's been a while since I don't review anything.
Anyway, thanks for asking. I can see you've been quite active musically speaking, which is great.

Some beautiful medieval licks in here. I really enjoyed this. The breaks between the parts are a little too long for me to believe this as one complete piece rather than 3 separate movements but I really like all 3 parts.

I could edit, but I feel that's cheating and it may even change the feel, and the feel is so so important.
Thanks for your comments
