Recordings of my new OM-03R

[kwakatak]

Hi folks,

I've been positively gushing over my new OM-03R on other forums and I realized that I forgot to include links to a couple of recordings I've already done with it.

Here's a comparison I did between it and my Takamine F-360:

I was still getting used to the OM, but to my ear it had a much greater presence than my old Tak.

Here's my latest recording of it playing Tommy Emmanuel's "Angelina"

For recording I used a Shure PG57 ($60 from Best Buy) and tried a few different locations for best results. It turns out the "sweet spot" for the OM-03R is to point the mic at the 14th fret angled slightly toward the soundhole from about 12"-18" away.

Nice work on "Vincent", especially the harmonics.  The OM-03R is risher and fuller than the Takamine for sure.  Just imagine the difference after having played the OM-03R for a year or 2!!!

Nicely done Neil.

Difference is night and day especially on the Uppers.  The Larrivee completely lose the twanginess of the Tak, it's just... ...smoother for the lack of a better word.

It's like drinking restaurant tea with high end premium tea.
