Audio-Technica AT8022 X/Y Stereo Microphone Flamenco Guitar Sound Demo
updated
I can't begin to tell you how refreshing it feels to be untethered. Begone, cables! It's very freeing to play flamenco guitar without having to be plugged in (both the guitar and the headphones into the audio interface). These products, for me at least, *very* effectively solved this problem. And FYI, this is a "dual-source" instrument, so I am using *two* of the NUX transmitters/receivers, with zero interference. The HyVibe pickup is active, and the LARS pickup is passive. (by the way, I used decreasing levels of reverb in the recording, so each time you see me reach for the mouse, I drop the amount of reverb. I went from "large" to "medium" and finally "small")

Just when y'all thought I was dead, I rise from the ashes LOL (hopefully for a decent amount of time). :) Just a teaser of hopefully better things to come. ;) Thoughts on the new guitar? :P

This is a short video demonstrating how you can enhance the looper functionality of your HyVibe system via an AirTurn midi pedal.
Pardon my screw-ups with the rhythm - this is entirely my fault and by no means related to the performance of either device. :P

I start with the punchy, strong KNA NG-2 on its own, then I go to the iSolo GT-10 condenser microphone mounted onto the soundhole, and finally I blend the two using EAE's StompMix 4. Such a versatile setup that requires zero permanent modification of the instrument (no drilling).

The world's most expensive USB microphone :P Your thoughts on sound? (pointing towards the bridge this time)
This is a unique guitar. I challenge anyone to find one like it anywhere in the world. Countless hours and five luthiers have created its final state, including both electronics systems installed. I am selling it because I decided I'm not going to hold onto guitars for more than a few years at a time anymore so I can keep exploring the world of guitars out there and allow folks to keep exploring the world of guitars by gaining access to my instruments. :) This is, of course, in ultra-mint condition, with not a single scratch or blemish, basically like brand new. However, it has been enhanced in multiple ways through a setup that makes it play like butter, upgraded tuners (Schaller), adding StrapLoks (Dunlop), internally installing a LARS CM-G pickup (which can be uninstalled, rewired, and used externally depending on your preference, and all components will be included with the instrument), installation of a HyVibe system (which allows live, real-time, acoustic effects like Reverb, Delay, Chorus, etc. as well as looping and which also can be plugged in, and can turn the guitar into a speaker via Bluetooth), as well as a hard case. Please watch the *long* YouTube video that shows first the acoustic sound, then the sound of the LARS CM-G externally, then the sound of LARS CM-G internally (how it is currently installed), and finally the sound of HyVibe plugged in with an example of looping.
Here are the specifications:
-Florentine cutaway
-Scale length is 650 mm
-Solid Spanish spruce top aged 15 years
-White Ebony back and sides
-Cedar neck with ebony fingerboard
-Bridge is Indian rosewood with 12 holes
-carbon fiber bar reinforced neck
-Action is 3 mm at the 12th fret
-Abalone inlay headstock
-Golpeadores are transparent and already installed
-Professional Hard case

LARS CM-G pickup into the EAE StompMix 4 into the PreSonus io24 using a Journey Instruments OC660M guitar with only audio normalization via DaVinci Resolve's FairLight. The LARS gives the sound microphonic tone and body while capturing golpes. The StompMix 4 adds real-time amazingly-sounding reverb (and other effects!) making the recording more natural.

LARS CM-G and @HyVibeAudio pickups installed in this Journey Instruments OC660M guitar through an Elite Acoustics "EAE" A1-4 MKII 40 Amplifier coupled with an Elite Acoustics "EAE" StompMix 4 compact digital mixer. The LARS gives the sound microphonic tone and body while capturing golpes. The HyVibe cuts through the mix and thickens the sound. The amp is just superb and powerful yet clean. The mixer combines all the signals and adds real-time effects.
The tune is just some traditional buleria el La menor. :) (with wobbly compas LOL)

Recording with my cell phone this time to get a different sound flavor.
Working with Heiko from Vintage Guitar World was a pleasure and smooth sailing from day one. I ordered this magnificent new instrument all the way from Germany. Within three days, it had arrived, expertly packaged and just as pictured/described — a fantastic experience and highly recommended.

Testing the Elite Acoustics "EAE" A1-4 MKII 40 Watt Battery Powered Acoustic Amplifier with 2 chan/Effects and Bluetooth. This is such a beast in a tiny package. The onboard effects sound *incredible* to the point that I get lost in the music and can play for hours. This amp is packed with features and sounds fabulous. It's also super stylish and very sleek.

I am blown away by this setup... the CloudVocal ISOLO GT-10 Guitar Wireless System. I am using it here on my Journey Instruments carbon fiber guitar (you can see the microphone in the sound hole on the rubber mount) which is equipped with a HyVibe under-the-saddle piezo pickup. This is all going through a PreSonus io24 audio interface. The first section of the video, you are hearing purely the wireless microphone. The second section of the video, I blend in the HyVibe through the CloudVocal receiver. I am *seriously* impressed by how good this system sounds, how easy it was to set up, and how well-thought-out the design is. I think I'm going to sell my LR Baggs Venue DI and start using the DI in this system instead. It has *a lot* of clean gain. Amazingggggggg! (and so compact)

Got the Godin protected with golpeadors, re-positioned the output jack so it doesn't get in the way of the traditional flamenco sitting position with the De Oro Music guitar support, and playing purely plugged in with about 75% LR Baggs Lyric mic blended in. This instrument is going to be a *lot* of fun :)
