Forget Christelle question..my mistake
Fritz,
Well i guess i have answered my own question...and you answered it some for me before....pardon me.
Christelle apparently is playing into a recording device directly without any speakers...so we hear something very different that even what she hears...the big box on the end is a Samson plug in transmiter and is quite heavy.
I see now the hesitancy in using wireless....it complicates the signal....
Oh well, she sounded astounding to me...its like photography sometimes I guess...what you see is often times really a manipulation...although its a nice manipulation.
Of course, before you mentioned looking at the Shure PGX line and i believe i could use my SM58 with that.
That might scratch my itch..even if its just for the fun of it.
You were right on...Thank YOU.
Thats interesting....to me ...it is still all mystery using all the high tech...I have a hard time making time to practise my lessons let alone learing how to mix tracks! ..I think she sounds astounding..much better than plain acoustic...
I wonder what Sonny would say.....it is a truly classic piece..
Thank you for the information kingley.
Hello Slucey,
That's a very poetic take on the wireless audio chain you're describing: "although its a nice manipulation". Anything and everything in the audio chain is an opportunity and a liability. I've known harp jockeys who've consciously misused wireless set-ups to achieve specific results -like photographic filters or lenses are used in the optical spectrum. Hey, it's ALL fair game! Just another pigment on the palette... - FRITZ
Christelle plays directly into her MacBook Pro. She then mixes the tracks in GarageBand. She listens to herself and the track via headphones whilst recording. I seem to recall that she usually uses a Greg Heumann Ultimate JR SM57 or SM58 mic. Sometimes she uses an Audix Fireball.
