  • Always trying to improve my sound for live-streaming (i.e. no processing in post), so this is what I have at this time straight out of the box. I've been working on "mastering" so I can achieve a healthy output for the audience. The source is a Carlos Juan VIP DM (going into an IR pedal) mixed in with a Carlos Juan CS Sensor (mostly for the golpes) which I am processing in real-time through an Antelope Audio Zen Quadro interface with DSP / FPGA effects to include EQ (to notch out some of this guitar's resonant frequencies), gate (to quiet everything down a bit), compression (to make some of the flamenco dynamics easier to work with), limiting (to prevent clipping), and finally some reverb for ambience. What do y'all think?

    It’s honestly the first Carlos system that I’ve heard that sounds really good. I don’t mean to put anybody else’s work down or their energy, but yours sounds very realistic and very true to their nature and dynamics of the Guitar very well done

      Brother, here is the secret - payhip.com/FlamencoGuitarImpulseResponses - if you have not starting using impulse responses ("IRs") yet, you sincerely *must*, my friend. The Carlos system, on its own, does *not* sound like this recording does. The reason you were thinking I was using a microphone is *entirely* because of the impulse response. Using an IR literally makes a *night and day* difference, man. You're savvy when it comes to pedals, so I am sure you wouldn't mind using an IR loader pedal in your signal chain. I am using this one, currently - www.mooeraudio.com/product/Cab-X2--245.html - both of these (the IR .wav file itself, and the IR loader pedal) combined are *very* affordable, man, but wow - they will do *wonders* on the sound of a pickup. Let me know if you have any questions...

      Hi I have not used any 3rd party impulse responses. The only device I do have success is with the Fishman Aura. Your tone is very believable and nice. Ole 🎉

    So I’m clearly understanding you have no microphone attached to the camera or just feeding side information. It’s completely muted.? Wow sounds very good. Nice job

      You are correct, my friend. In fact, I am using an Elgato Facecam Pro webcam to record this video, and this camera has no built-in microphone. Also, there is no microphone connected to the audio interface or natively built-into the computer, so there was no external microphone whatsoever used in this recording. It is 100% from the pickup. In fact, I also had a VERY loud air conditioner running in the background, and there was no capture of that noise whatsoever, so this setup seems to be magical in its ability to reject noise. Honestly, even I was shocked. I don't know how this is possible, but literally, I can just plug and play, and this comes out straight from the box. I'm also using a Sennheiser wireless system (XSW-D Instrument Base Set), so I am in no way tethered to a single sitting/standing position (also using AIAIAI TMA-2 Studio Wireless+ low-latency headphones to monitor, so also no physical connection). So everything is connected wirelessly to my headphones, guitar, and interface, so zero limitation in physical movement. Pretty solid, man - I'm pleasantly surprised, honestly!

    Sound like the camera is capturing sound. Is this direct into your interface with mic on camera off?

    • @rombsix
      @rombsix  Před 2 měsíci +1

      Straight into the audio interface - no external microphones were used, whether standalone or built-into the camera.
