An inspiration! Thank you.

Love that you play a Nylon strings guitar - very nice indeed! I Got an old Brazilian guitar myself, recently added Mic+Piezo pick ups, maybe a third Piezo coming. Still setting up and finding my sound... for my retirement years...

Hi, I just discovered your work ! That is excellent and very inspiring !! I'm torn between buying a Multiac nylon ACS of a Multiac steel, I see you got both, do you have some minutes to tell me your feeling about these two instruments ? Thank you so much. Take good care about you. Colin

[@MikhailMedvedev]

Thanks, Colin! I used to have them both, you are right, but 6 years ago I sold my Multiac Steel. The reason was that I never actually was 100% satisfied with how it sounded - it was always the matter of a big compromise. I loved how it might sound when playing sting by string, but hated when I strummed. Nothing helped - Aura or whatever - strumming was not the strong side of this guitar. When recording I used a trick to split the Steel's signal into 2 lines - one for Fishman Aura 100% wet and another to DAW. There I matched the phase of these two mono tracks and that was more or less OK. But it was tricky to do it every time. I don't know if Duet Steel (the one with a mic) would be an interesting solution - never tried it. Those Nylon Multiacs are great. I also loved how Slim Nylon sounded, but the neck was too narrow for me to play nylon strings. If I had a choice at the time I bought my Nylon I would also try the thicker Multiac Nylon, not ACS. And yes - Fishman Aura Spectrum is a very good option that make it sound so much more realistic!

[@colingentile]

Thank you so much @@MikhailMedvedev for taking the time to answer back ! And what an answer ! I'm so grateful. I definitely understand the strumming feeling of the Steel, I'm used to play folk guitars and I fear loosing this impact with an electric guitar. Nylon Multiacs seem to sound way better and realistic than steel ones. I often play open tunings with steel to mimic sitar and oriental instruments, I'm afraid to lose this feeling with a nylon one... Maybe I need to try them both and make my idea, maybe buy both but it's very expensive, for me, at once. I deeply thank you for your great help and testimony. Take very good care. Colin

Beautiful, thank you Mikhail. In addition to your emotional and thoughtful playing, your sound is fantastic. Can you give details on your effect chain and settings please? I think I see a Timeline and a Big Sky (?), what else do you have in this piece?

Lovely sounds, do you use fx loop on the aura?

[@MikhailMedvedev]

Thanks! No, I put it first in the signal line.

[@iobeid87]

great playing. How come the piezo is not harsh ? I’m using 3sigma audio IR and the piezo is still harsh

[@MikhailMedvedev]

I guess there might be a number of reasons, including string picking style. The strings height, action, eq of a particular guitar. And pedals of course. I've found a couple of presets in Aura Spectrum DI that sound great with this instrument... Always use them.

[@iobeid87]

I truly appreciate your reply. Do you recommend the Aura for (multiac duet ambiance) or should I get something like fishman loudbox mini. My purpose is to get a decent sound for recording thru Piezo. Thank you

[@MikhailMedvedev]

@@iobeid87 I'm not that big expert in Fishman devices, but this one works really great with my Godin (Nylon, #10 is one of the presets I use a lot + 2 similar presets I downloaded years ago - don't remember their names). I would recommend trying before buying if you can. If not that maybe some used items would be a good start.

@@MikhailMedvedev У меня практический есть все гитары твои и дальше больше, мне просто скучно стало жить, решил поиграть на гитарах. Я решил добавить себе новых эмоций, скачать я могу не только твой ролик. Мне не когда думать и подбирать, я просто занят другими делами, а это, как дорогое хобби. Пробовал новый boss sy - 1000? Я кстати накатил новый патч 1.09, получилась хорошая замена vg-99, на мулатике гранд концерт са звучит очень хорошо, если подмешать 12 струнку с SY -1000 фишман аура в фламенко стиле.
