![]() ![]() Us players try very hard to not get that. So that's the desired sound I'm looking for.Īlso, the only fret buzz you hear in that video is on the low G string. But archtops have that magic woodie quality to them while the other models are too steely. Those seem much too shrill and strident to me and is what I expect to hear when the Sheriff walks out of the saloon onto a dusty main street to stare down his ugly nemesis in a cheap Western movie. I favor the sound of archtop "bluegrass-style" mandolins as opposed to the classical "potato bug" bowl-back models. Yes, he plays it too fast - showing off, I guess, cuz he can. My vision of a good clean mandolin sound can be heard here. So now it comes down to finding a very good mandolin VSTi. Lots of work but I can do it MUCH faster than waiting for quiet to record clean takes and/or using RX8. Sometimes the MIDI conversion misses some of the faster trills so I have to restore those as well. This captures my timing and dynamics, but I have to edit it to restore hammer-ons, pull-offs, and set where on the fretboard I'm playing. So I have switched to just go ahead and play the piece using Midi-Guitar or Melodyne to convert it to MIDI. ![]() I've tried RX8 and have had some success but it takes a long, long time to get a result that's clean and not all phasey/watery sounding. And now that it's nice outside it is even worse with dogs, kids, street noises, rain, wind, etc outside. I have a very difficult time tracking myself due to having no soundproofed rooms available. Firstly, I apologize for this long message, but I need to share my frustration recording mandolin.
