Own recording with sound "à la Django"

gatsby

Hey everyone,

I don't really know in what category to post this, but I recorded myself with the Goldwave program and a totally crappy microphone, and I ended up with a pretty great sound, very much like Django's in the 40s...

Here it is: http://media.putfile.com/46s-94

What I play is very inspired by Django, as you can guess.

Tell me what you think about the sound; hope you'll like it! (it's about 2 minutes long)

Awesome!
Love the sound, you're right it sounds a lot like the old recordings, and your playing is superb!
I really enjoyed it.
Could you post all the gear details of your recording, please?
Micro, guitar, EQ, etc.
Thanks.
Enrique.

The sound of the recording is wonderful. Your lines are also really nice.

Thanks for your comments!

The material is really basic, actually:

- a microphone usually used for MSN and Skype (nothing to do with music!) which would cost about $5

- the program called Goldwave to record

- and the guitar is a French one, made by a man called Pierre Ducroz.
Here is a picture of it:


Thank you!

Exquisite playing as always, gatsby. I don't know how you French guys do it.
