Why thank you!

It was 4 takes of Dec playing my lovely Taylor acoustic (now sold, a mistake in hindsight...) It was recorded with a Neumann TLM 103 through my trusty Focusrite Platinum Voicemaster Pro with the vintage harmonics turned up a fair way, the optical compressor just set to a very light squash and the tube sound setting set halfway between cool and warm/mellow and bright.

From there it went through the Focusrite D3 compressor in ProTools and through McDSP's excellent excellent Filter Bank plug in. Probably with a load of air added and most of the bottom rolled off. I added some extra bite with the Sonnox Oxford Transient Modulator plug in. Then the first set of two takes would be panned hard left and right and the second set of takes panned in a bit from the first two.

The extended chords were done by Dec playing different chords on two of the four takes, so on two takes, he'd play an A maj, then on the next 2 at the same point, he'd play a B7. He did that with the C maj bit too by playing a D7.

Et voila!

someday you should try something interesting.

heh

Holy hell that's a lot of jiggery-pokery for a good acoustic guitar sound! No wonder mine always sounds so flat and weak! O_o

Why thank you! :D

Especially if it was transported to its new owner by air!

Heh.
Particularly like the chalk outline.

My memory of this is Jem going "come on, come on, we do the pub after this take"

That is exactly the same line I use to motivate whoever it is I am recording. It never seems to fail.
