Thanks, Paul, and thanks again to everyone who's listened to my recent
musical posts.
The guitar sound in the Sonatina is from a much humbler source: QSynth,
with the tired old 8mbgmsfx.sf2 soundfont from the SBLive disc. It's
just the Nylon Guitar patch, with a little Versatile Plate Reverb. That
does the trick of making it sound something like the "bucket o'verb"
Decca's engineers used to pour on Andres Segovia's recordings. Gives it
that ancient-castle ambience, echt European. ;)
(I should add that I hated how those old Segovia releases sounded. The
VPR is much better than whatever they were using back then. Some time
ago the original recordings were remastered without the reverb, the
sound was so much better without it.)
More music on the way, just in time for Halloween.
Best,
dp
