Hi Kai, wonderfull play!! Are you using the se8 Cardioid or omni capsules?

[@kaiiyama2758]

pepites55 Thank You!!!This mic is Cardioid capsules.

[@TommyGuitarerro]

Hey. I really love your playing. Yesterday i got two SE8 and now testing them on my Alhambra Flamenco Guitar. Can you please tell me, what you mean with „mixing to reverbs“ ? Two different reverbs via Send on your stereotrack? Have a nice day and greetings from Bremen/Germany

[@kaiiyama2758]

Thank you Tommy!That's great!
Yes, mixing two reverbs. To begin with, I mixed it so that it sounds like being played in a concert hall. Another important point is to add the kind of reverb effect that can express the distance from the mic and the guitar! That is why I used two reverbs (called “large hall” and “trucking room”), with two separate channels for each, to which the main stereo track is being sent. By doing so, I believe I was able to create a unique overall sounding.

[@michaelamarie4288]

Sounds great! Are these the omni or cardioid versions of the SE8? Thanks!

[@kaiiyama2758]

Thanks Michaela！
this mic is the cardioid version.

Hi! Love the sound of the mic and this music. Is it from you ? It's cool really !

[@kaiiyama2758]

Marc ELIOT Thanks!! This is a song that I wrote. This mic is very nice sound.

[@dwihermawan2780]

Hii.. Cool natural sound 😎👍
What is power amplifier use there?
Or SE8 mic direct to soundcard ?

[@kaiiyama2758]

Thank you dwihermawan!!
The microphone is stereo, so I'm recording using two amplifiers made by golden age project.

[@andreavocino]

excellent sound - do you run x2 Golden Age Project PRE73MK3 one for each microphone?

[@kaiiyama2758]

Thanks Andrea !
I used two GAP devices because that only have one connecting terminal.

[@andreavocino]

@@kaiiyama2758 that is a big drawback of the PRE73MK3. But you only use one compressor right?

[@kaiiyama2758]

@@andreavocinoI agree.
Yes.RNC1773 is stereo compressor.

[@jerrykooyman]

Beautiful playing! I was just wondering if you have tested the difference between the SE8 and the SE7.

[@kaiiyama2758]

Thanks so much Jerry!!
No, I haven’t but will try in the future!

[@StarOasis26]

thanks, X/Y mic positioning?

[@kaiiyama2758]

Thank you !! this is A-B position that I prefer the A-B setup.

[@StarOasis26]

@@kaiiyama2758thanks, how far do you have the microphones spread out? By the way you sound great, smooth clean, 3D dementional and detailed l played these on my monitor reference speakers 👍👍

[@kaiiyama2758]

@@StarOasis26 thanks!!!! The distance between A and B is 8inch, distance from guitar is 8inch.
"3D…"is an effect of mixed two reverbs.

[@PedroGerardo]

Any post processing beside the Hall reverb ?

[@kaiiyama2758]

Thanks!! yes.I used Waves plugins IR_L reverb(rec studio) and RVerb(large hall).

[@Superdelphinus]

Do they really sound this bright or has this had a bit of an EQ job (or reverb)?

[@kaiiyama2758]

Thank you Superdelphinus!
This bright sound is the effect of 2 reverbs and EQ jobs that the waves plugins.

[@Superdelphinus]

@@kaiiyama2758 thanks, at least it confirms my ears still work! Nice recording.
