Barbara Ellen - acoustic demo #1

Barbara Ellen Get Adobe Flash player

Here’s my version of the classic ballad “Barbara Ellen.” I recorded this at my Brooklyn apartment using a Neumann-Gefell M582 microphone with an M7 capsule for the vocals, and an RFT Gefell PM-750 for the acoustic guitar. A Grace Design Lunatec V3 preamp and DA converter was used into Pro-Tools. Reverb is supplied via a standalone Fender ‘62 Spring Reverb tank.
