First of your vids that I've seen, it's an interesting concept and obviously the material is compelling for Soundies, Gearheads and Guitarists. What I would recommend is to invest in a decent lapel mic - the audio is very hard to hear in some areas, and in a presentation that relies primarily on vocal communication, you need to source the artists voice as loud and clear as possible. I'd imagine that an omni headset, or lapel model such as a DPA d:fine Omni would be ideal for this type of interview//commentary.
Thanks so much for the nice, constructive comments! We actually used a lapel mic for this shoot. We'll definitely look into that d:fine one for future shoots. Thanks again. :-)
No problem - Like I said, it's a very interesting concept and de-mystifies some of the lofty ideals that people may have about a Musicians rig. Does your lapel mic maybe just need some fine-tuning? A little more gain on the pre-amp would go a long way :) I'm assuming that it's P48 (Phantom) powered? Keep up the good work dude!
If you go to 2:47, you can make out some of them. The lighting was not ideal. If you have any specific questions feel free to email me at info@godlyke.com
Yes, the location we shot this at had a Blackstar Cab that we used for the demos. Normally Cameron uses a Mesa cab and/or the Mesa Cab Clone live and in the studio.
Yes, sorry. We weren't able to get that on film. It's an old Ibanez S-Series that he's had for a really long time. It's the guitar he keeps with him and usually doesn't play on stage. Let me know if there are any specific details you'd like to know and I may be able to reach out to Cam and ask. :-)
For a little extra info, it’s H-S-H with the pickups. JB in the bridge, Texas Hot Antiquity in the middle (with no cover so the coils are exposed), and 59 in the neck. Mainly uses it these days for the more Strat-like sounds from the Texas Hot in the middle.
