These two flamenco pieces were performed by Blue Coast Artist, Jason McGuire, on Sept 13, 2008 as part of a microphone placement seminar for the Bay Area Audiophile Society.  Cookie Marenco, founder and producer of Blue Coast provided a visual and audio demonstration of her favorite micing techniques for solo guitar.  The attendees for the two sessions were able to hear each microphone as it compared with the natural sound of the guitar.

The stereo mixes are wav files (44.1kHz 24bit sampling) for burning to disc mixed as we might for Blue Coast Records.  The multitrack files can be imported to a multitrack recorder for the user to hear the individual microphone tracks with the addition of a stereo effects track.  The user can create mixes with or without effects to their own liking.  These files are also 44.1kHz 24bit.

The files are large to keep the quality high.  We don't advise downloading on a phone modem. Thanks again to Bob Walters for allowing us to demonstrate our techniques and to BAAS. More from Jason McGuire is available on the Blue Coast Collection...

Enjoy!
