@Socio Wow, James, that sure is a neat bit of kit. Does seem worth looking at for people who make recordings with a phone or tablet but want to upgrade from using the phone mic as a room mic and don’t want to worry about interfaces and figuring out routing and working with audio inputs on the phone. Impressed to see it has phantom power on an XLR input so will work with condensor mics.
@DavidP here is a demo video of the much older model given you a comparison of recording directly from iPhone and via the mixer playing over a backing track. In the older model you had to play the backing track via another device but looking at this video you can play over a track being played on the recording phone on the newer model. For some reason I get the impression that Gordon would prefer a simplistic option where he can just plug, play and record particularly improvising over a backing track on his electric.
Gosh, If I hadn’t asked Santa for a better webcam and usb mic for Christmas, I would seriously look into going down this route. The simplicity and compactness of it is soooo appealing to me
Now, can anyone tell me why I’m wasting time looking at improved recording methods for Gordon, when I should be practicing my song for tonight’s OM?
Maybe you’ve got one eye on the next OM as you can stream to zoom with it… or maybe you’re thinking of its use for touring with Gordon… just think of all the connection you could mix into your performances.
To be honest Gordon, you don’t need to. I always find your recordings great from a quality and balance perspective, If you are happy doing what doing stick with it, as it work just fine.
But that Roland Go Mixer looks pretty trick for a phone interface…just saying.
You’ve got your system down why change it. I love your videos for their honest approach. You don’t need effects or gadgets to sound good. Once you crawl down that rabbit hole there is no end to the next piece of kit to make it better.
You can grab your guitar and sit down anywhere and put out a great videos. Not many here can do that. They rely on to much tech to be creative.
Thank you all for your advice, suggestions and opinions.
The more I think about all this the less inclined I am to go down the hole. I’d rather spend my time practising guitar.
and Gordon pulls off that most difficult of all manouvers-
To utilise the gravitational pull of the black hole, but only for the ‘slingshot effect’…
To infinity and beyond!
Hi Gordon,
Nice song list! You are really nailing this guitar thing.
Have you completed all of Justin’s lessons?
thx
