Substitute by The Who - Live on my 224ce-K
« on: June 05, 2019, 10:14:39 AM »
I'm plugged into a direct box and the recording is taken directly off the mixing board.  Recording live at the Fiddler's Hearth Open Stage in South Bend last Wednesday.

Thanks.  It's one of my favorite songs to do at an open mic and I've never heard anyone else do it.

Thanks.  Standard tuning and stock strings.  Just got the guitar in December and haven't changed the strings yet.  This open mic has  a great sound system and a dedicated sound man and he does a good job making all us amateurs sound decent.

Honest opinion. The guitar play and singing are really nice. The electronics are really really bright, it started hurting my ears. Maybe a bit more warm and scoop to sing

Thanks for both observations.  My 70 year old ears don't hear as much high frequency content as they did 20 or 30 years ago.  And the sound man is almost as old as I am!  That, plus the normal Taylor brightness is probably why some will perceive it as overly bright.  I'll play around with the tone controls at home (they were set flat) and see what I can come up with.  I usually switch to PB strings on my Taylors to tame the brightness.  I'll try that on this guitar too.
