Topic: John Lennon cover, Happy Christmas

i recorded this with my new TC HeliCon, Play Acoustic. I'm still learning how to use it. I'm not sure I used the right presets. There are too many possibilities.

Good Job on that Pete!  Gotta love the Harmony Effects though.... but so far as the settings, I think you got it perfect for that particular tune.

Kev?   You should have been able to get the Audio on that....  Didn't have the mute enabled in the youtube player by chance?  With so many places to turn the sound off, it's easy to miss one.

Re: John Lennon cover, Happy Christmas

Thanks guys. I used just turn on the mixer and record. Now I try each song on each preset to see how it sounds. Ver time consuming. I'm sure it will get easier as I learn my favorite presets. I also just bought a dynamic mic, Sure SM 58, si I don't get bleed over from the guitar into the condenser mic. I learn something every day. Life is good

Very nice job Pete, I think it sounded great!
I'm thinking about purchasing the Helicon Acoustic Play, how do you like yours so far? Is it easy to use and set up? I'm thinking it would be a cool addition for solo gigs. The reviews I've seen for it have been mostly good as well. Again, great job on one of my favorite Christmas songs!

Re: John Lennon cover, Happy Christmas

I highly recommend it. Really easy to hookup and use. I am learning slowly how to use it. There are a lot of presets and settings to deal with.
