Thread Name: Home Recording - is this quality OK?
Subject: Home Recording - is this quality high enough?
I recorded friends and myself playing recently at home and would be interested in some comment. I know quite a lot of people do some recording at home with varying degrees of sophistication in their set up so would appreciate some feedback if you have time to listen.

Lakes of Ponchartrain

Bearing in mind it is an mp3 and so may have lost a little quality, do you think that the recording quality is of a high enough level that people would think it ok if they bought it on a CD of similarly recorded material?

Is there anything that stands out as needing particular work on it or any suggestions for improvement?

It was the first time I have tried to record a fiddle and really had very little idea of the best way to do it and am unsure if the sound of the fiddles are ok.

Is the overall balance of sound ok?

The intention is to do some more songs and tunes and produce something to sell at gigs which is why I thought I'd ask at this stage - if you had bought it and thought that the quality is not up to a reasonable standard I need to think further.
