I'm putting this up partly because I love this Richard Thompson song and partly because I'm trying to work out using an Audigo mic system. I've been playing around with the system for a few days and it's a cool system I'm just getting comfortable with. It lets you shoot video and audio with one, two, three, or four wireless mics and it syncs the audio and video. And the software also has a rudimentary multi-track recorder, so you can add any number of additional tracks to the original recording. I added a second vocal in places and a lead guitar break late in the song.
It's my first multi-track recording with video. I like the system and look forward to getting better working with it over time. I'm also looking forward to improvements in the system - they say they're working on a way to shoot multiple videos for the different tracks, but I'm not sure when that will be working. With just a couple of improvements to the multi-track setup, it could be all a lot of us would ever need. It probably already is for me. -Ray

That’s nice, Ray. Great timing and your leads really “serve the song.”
Have fun with the new gear |

Really well done, Ray! Everything looks and sounds good!
And that is a great looking and great sounding guitar. You have a very nice, easy, rolling kind of strumming approach. Sounds really good! - Glenn

Thanks Bob and Glenn for checking it out.
I really love Richard Thompson and I heard him perform solo acoustic in Harrisburg, PA very shortly after that song (on the Mock Tudor album) was released and he blew me away. I’d seen him several times before and after but that solo acoustic performance really stood out. He wasn’t doing as much of his fancy fingerpicking that night, but was singing and strumming incredibly powerfully and he had a fairly large crowd in the palm of his hand. I’ve been playing this song a lot recently and wanted to take a shot at recording it. I’m enjoying this new gear - I think my guitar(s) sound better largely because it’s a better mic and I can add a bit of compression and other effects after the fact. I’m looking forward to getting to know it and get better with it in time. -Ray

Thompson is great. His son Teddy had a great record about 15 years ago. Great cover Ray and I hope I don't catch the recording upgrade bug!

This system with two mics isn't terribly expensive (not totally cheap either, but you could spend a LOT more), would be fairly cheap with one mic and I could still do most of what I'm doing just about as well with one. And it kind of gives me the best of both worlds in one setup. The multi-tracking is pretty rudimentary and there are features I miss from my already very user-friendly (and thus, not terribly powerful) multi-track setup. But overall, it feels like a relatively affordable and easy way to do a little of everything I want to do with both video and audio. So, there you go - more than you wanted to know! All to say you could upgrade without going all the way down the rabbit hole or spending a lot of $$. -Ray

hey Ray great job. That system certainly has potential especially if they get multi video going
Seems to me if you had any interest in the interim you could shoot with that system and an iPhone But of course you would have to use some kind of video editing software to merge them ----- anyway well done I am now using two iPhones for multi cam and it works fairly well (my old iPhone 10s had not trade in value so I kept it as a second video cam)

For a first time with new gear, that really came out great Ray. You made that gear sound excellent, and your lead is tasteful and well played.
Your Martin is gorgeous, is it a CEO? The Audigo recorder/video thing seems pretty cool, I looked it up, I hope someday they come up with an android version.

That Martin is a CEO-7, which I love the playability and sound of. I don't like the sunburst much at all, but i play it a lot more than look at it, so I don't mind it. As for Android, I'm sure Augigo will try to make an Android version of the app pretty soon - probably working on it now. I don't know how much harder it is given the variety of Android hardware out there, which I'm sure creates some challenges since everyone does it a little differently. Enjoy the coming Jersey Shore summer! That's one thing I know we're gonna miss now that we live on the West Coast most of the year. The Oregon coast is beautiful, but it's nothing like the east coast beaches for swimming and having fun little beach towns. -Ray

Thanks a lot Ray. Yes the Jersey Shore is great. Wish you guys the best in Oregon (which I hear is pretty cool with great wineries)

I don’t think i’ve ever heard a bad CEO-7. Such a great model.
Great cover and share, Ray.
