Ambient Guitar: Northern Land (Godin Steel SA, Fishman Aura Spectrum, Strymon BigSky)

One tip for those of you who play with Fishman Aura Spectrum DI. This is how your piezzo guitar can sound. The trick is in blending a) clear or processed sound of your guitar with b) the sound of an acoustic image from Aura Spectrum. Don&use BLEND knob of Aura Spectrum. Most likely it will sound unsatisfied because of phase shift problems. Phase shift switch will not help in this case. Use any kind of splitter to divide your guitar sound into two lines. Then mix them any way you want. One guitar line can go to any processor to give your sound some space effect, for example. Another guitar line (from Aura) goes to a mixer dry as it is - blend it to your taste to give what it is meant to give - more life, more live sound, not "plastic" piezzo... Or you can mix them both and process together - any way you want now. But be sure to get 2 guitar sounds - a clear one and another one from Aura. Now you can try with Phase Shift switcher of Aura - choose the best position, where you don&miss low frequencies. What I did when I recorded this video was: 1) I switched my Godin Multiac Steel SA to Roland VG-99 (I used it as a splitter only) 2) I sent clear guitar signal from the VG-99&OUTPUT GUITAR to AURA SPECTRUM DI (my preset was: dreadnought #3) 3) I sent non-processed (no effects applied) guitar sound from the VG-99&MAIN OUT to Strymon BigSky and used some plate reverb there (bank 08) 4) I routed all 3 signals to a sound card to channels 1,2 for Strymon and 3 for Aura 5...
