Welcome. First of all, thanks to Michael for making this discussion area for us. This is yet another example of Michael's outstanding service to the gypsy jazz community.
Threads in this area should focus on the technical issues of recording gypsy jazz.
It might be very helpful and economical if the subjects of individual threads were specific, such as the one Jack just posted about recording rhythm guitar. But general threads are also worthwhile. Consider:
- recording and packaging demos
- studio recording: best practices
- miking specific instruments (lead, rhythm, violin, bass, accordion, etc.)
- recording the QHCF
- studio lore and wisdom
- new equipment reviews
- budgeting CD recording and production
- CD production values: best practices
- CD distribution
- gypsy jazz recording labels
As this list shows, recording gypsy jazz, like recording any other form of music, is a subject that can range over a fairly wide area.
I hope you all find the discussions useful.
Best,
Ando
