Thanks Mike and Wazza.

I had an unfortunate incident just recently. My pc's hard drive blew. I had recorded two semais and a taksim. I finished recording them late Friday night and decided to convert them to MP3 the next day so I could upload them to my web page. I went to turn the pc on when I got home on Saturday and...you guessed it right. It wouldn't boot up. :(
I lost a lot of pictures and music. Silly of me relying on a single drive for valuable stuff. Today, I purchased an external drive along with the replacement drive.
I will be mirroring everything important going forward. I highly recommend everyone to have a similar setup if you don't already have one.

I've listened all of your records. They're really nice but i want to know how and where did you record them so clear.

MrOud - 8-6-2006 at 05:48 PM

Thanks Terennum. I recorded every piece at home with a condenser mic and an audio interface connected to my pc, except for Memleketim and Sevda which were recorded in a home studio. You can find detailed information about devices I use in the following thread.

I enjoyed your recording by the way. Are you a baglama player originally?

Beautiful playing Mike, on a beautiful piece.

Sorry to hear about your pc, I had a very similar experience last summer. I've since switched to mac, so far very happy. :)

Thanks again for sharing your playing with us.

Hey Mike,
Once again lovely stuff. I really enjoy listening to you play.
Best,

P.S. I have split the posts of this thread to return the focus to Mike's playing. The other posts can be found here.

Very nice recordings. If only we could listen something from Tatyos by your oud.
