EQ? No EQ needed - it needs tuning! In my live sound work, untuned
guitars seem to disappear in my mixes. Could you move another hundred
feet or so from the guitar, toward the frogs?!? Or get the girl to
sing?
;-) Nice environmental recording, actually, and very "California" but
more like I knew it in the 70s...
Thanks! Those frogs sound like home to me, too bad the ones I know live
so close to a freeway.
