Hello every body
I dont know if somebody will be interested by this experiment
I learn how to generarate my own IR to record myself with same sound as I was using my Amp and CAB. but it gave me a strange idea...
May I try to reproduce a Banjo sound this way. And I try...
concept :
Inject a test tone fiel in an old (and uggly) banjo guitar, using sound exciters : see picture 1 (exciters) ans picture 2 (banjo guitar with the exciters on top, fixed by adhesiv, one on strings behind the sillet, tne second on the wood. I used 2 in serie to get 8 Ohms impedencie to protect the amp.
Record the Banjo response with the mic in picture 2, and build an IR with Voxengo software (demo version).
then I drop the IR into the helix, put some gain ( level of the IR is low), use a compressor , a simple pitch to add an harmony (+12 interval mix 30%) and a few plate reverb)
and then record directly these few notes into the DAW through USB... and that's the result with a Parker PdF30 modified, bridge Mic Seth lover splited ! not perfect, but fun experiment !
If you'r interested I can post the IR and the tone... but try this with any other instrument, resonator...or anything else...
