Hello Camog,
It is a superb very intimate composition. It's really pretty. I appreciated. Well done.

Lovely melody. Possibly the best recording of nylon guitar I've heard on this forum to date. Mind sharing how it's done?
Hi Derochette, thanks very much indeed for your nice comments - I'm really pleased you like my tune!!
Many thanks for listening!!
Best regards, Carl
Hi Ghostgum, thanks a lot for your nice comment - very glad you like my tune and recording!!
I'm in a tiny bedroom - the guitar is a Takamine Hirade TH-90 which I've had for years, a mixture of Aquila strings (1-2-3) and D'Addario EJ45C Silver Covered (4-5-6), I'm using a Microtech Gefell M300 small condenser mic pointing towards the neck around frets 11-12ish to avoid the boomy lows from the guitar's sound hole. The mic goes into a Golden Age Pre-73 DLX preamp and a Golden Age Comp-54 compressor - from those the signal goes to my MOTU 828ES soundcard and into Logic Pro X on an i9 iMac.
In Logic I roll off a lot of the low end and a little bit of the mids on the nylon guitar using Fabfilter Pro Q2 EQ - via 2 separate Aux channels I mix in a bit of Liquidsonics "Cinematic Rooms Prof" and "Seventh Heaven Pro", Mastering is with IK T-Racks MAX Suite always rolling off everything below 100 Hz to kill the worst mud & rumble!
Hope that helps - best regards, Carl
Ghostgum - if you're interested I've just put another nylon guitar tune on Soundcloud called "Love Lost", done this morning!
Sorry I can't put a link here on the forum as Love Lost does not have any BB on it - look up Carl Mogensen on Soundcloud!!
Best, C
Beautiful playing.
Nicely put together.
BIAB is an amazing thing but, nothing beats playing your own instruments.
Enjoyed it!

Hi Stefan, thanks so much for listening and for your nice comments - really glad you enjoyed my Hymn!!
Very best wishes, Carl
I Figured such superb sounds wouldn't come cheap. Nice gear. I liked Love Lost too. I look forward to hearing more!
Wow! Great recording. Good work well done.

I very much appreciate your nice comments on my sound Ghostgum - if you look at websites like Gearslutz.com I think you'll find that my setup (as home studios go) is quite modest, I have acquired over a long period of time enough good quality gear to produce the best sound I can! You can of course spend countless thousands on equipment and still get a poor sound - but after all it's really the music that counts, eh!
Thanks again for listening - and to "Love Lost" as well!
All the best there in AUS, Carl
Hi Rob, thanks a lot for taking a listen - glad you enjoyed my "Hymn"!!
Best regards, Carl
