Syskonen Nilsson

MMIX

Our Christmas project the year of 2008 (see below) was quite a success; so we decided to record a new CD this year and try to do it better.

The difference this time is the recording technique. In 2008 we used Tim's recording equipment and did a multi-mono recording with the microphones close to the sources (as, sadly, is the common practice). This year we did a pure stereo recording, using my recording equipment, i.e. time-of-arrival stereophony. This means that the recording is a projection of the reality "as close as it can be done".

Note: To get the full potential from this recording you need a good stereo playback system. I recommend speakers from Carlsson or Ino Audio, as they are truly designed to playback in stereo with high fidelity, in use with a high power amplifier.

MMVIII

In the fall of 2008 my brother bought himself a new acoustic guitar, a Furch with microphone. He also bought himself an external soundcard and condensor microphone for recording. So when the yearly discussion of Christmas presents came up I thought it would be fun to record and give away a CD; so we did.

I went ''home'' to Falkenberg just a few days before Christmas eve so we had about two days to record a few songs. We did it in one and neither of us had done something like this before. The result would have been better, if we had more knowledge and time, but more important: the targets for the CD (our parents and relatives) liked it and we had fun doing it.
