George Quinn replied to Pascal Proust's discussion External microphone for my classical guitar in the group Home Recording"If I were to either play a classical guitar live, and especially if I were to record it, I would consider a pick-up mounted either inside the hole or attached to the guitar soundboard and use the output to augment what the mic picks up.

George Quinn replied to Dave Sterenchock's discussion Cassette tape to digital. in the group Home Recording"Years ago I purchased a program from a British gent called "Wave Repair" and used it originally to clean up vinyl recordings and then later to clean up cassettes. A neat feature was "Get Fingerprint" where once you've…"
George Quinn replied to Jud Hair's discussion Unwanted Accompaniment ... how best to handle? in the group Coffee House Players"Maybe occasional prompting of audience participation for a particular song would be a way of setting a boundary line. There's a chorus of the Kinks' Autumn Almanac that cries for a sing-a-long. I might go so far as to work out…"
George Quinn commented on grant's group Coffee House Players"Here's my take on the open-mic versus straight gig. As I have not sung in public since college, and then I was part of a nine-person folk group (Early Morning Rain, 500 Miles, etc.), I wouldn't want to expose myself (in all manners)…"

Over the phone, the sales rep told me it was the size of a pack of cigarrettes. It…"
George Quinn replied to Earl Faria's discussion Which is better, software for a PC or a digital recorder? in the group Home Recording"Before the end of the year, I'm going to have some kind of home recording set-up.
It looks like most people in this group use their computer. Can someone recommend a stand-alone recorder for individual use (I don't envision…"
George Quinn replied to Michael Tellier's discussion My First Taylor!!! in the group Taylor Owners"It wasn't until a week or so after I purchased my Taylor 416 ce ltd that I realized how lucky I was find one in stock at a locally owned music store here in Madison. Not only was the same model unavailable at most web-sites, but the price…"
George Quinn replied to Ed Rhoades's discussion Finger squeaks in the group Home Recording"I remember seeing an add in a music mag 30 years ago selling a cream or something for guitarists to apply to their finger tips. Never tried it. At that time, finger-noise was the least of my problems.
