First steps


Here's my first recording - not much, Iam still getting used to the recording software - I'm sure I can get it to sound more like I hear it (which it doesn't at the moment).

This is just me noodling a bit on my Haluk oud (the cheaper pro model oud 3 on his website). I'll post more as I get used to this as I have never recorded before. I've been playing about 10 months now and am really getting hooked. Will look at maqams soon.

Cheers Leon

thanks


Thanks for that. It is a nice oud and I've noticed in the last month as tha seasons are changing here that the sound is improving noticably - the sustain is increasing and the balance across the string is getting better!! how odd. Just shows how alive these instruments are.

I'm still trying to get a decent recording sound, it still sounds a bit like it is in the tunnel and a lot of the detail sounds a lot more scratchy than I hear it. Any suggestions.

One other thing and this sounds daft - I get slightly nervous when recording and can hear it in the playing - how crazy is that ... stage fright in my own front room ho ho ho

Have a good day

replies appreciated


Thanks - replies are appreciated. Iam living in an oud desert over here so your observations and constructive criticism (or even better encouragment) is like gold dust.

Once I get used to this recording I think I will take off quickly.

Best wishes

Leon
