How does this sound?

[MakeAJazzNoiseHere]

Yeah, I generally don't like tons of chorus and delay and stuff. A little delay and reverb is good for recording, though. Not like, 80's New Wave "bury the guitar under effects" kind of crap but just a very short delay with very little repeat and play with the wet/dry mix. Or you can double- or triple-track everything. It just sounds fuller.

I got you. I know what you mean. Yeah, I wasn't thinking he meant ramp up the chorus and delay pedals - just a little reverb or something to give a little "room" sound to it, right?

[MakeAJazzNoiseHere]

Exactly. When you go direct like that vs. with a mic you don't get ANY room sound and it sounds "fake" because it's direct. At least, I think it does.

A digital simulator sounds fake because it is fake, CGI looks fake because it is fake, rubber doll feels fake because it is fake, both technologies - not counting the doll - are capable of producing somewhat decent results though.

Why not counting the doll?

[Hellbat]

Because you have to wash the doll after you use it.

Nah, she smells like seawater and old earwax, just like I like.

That's all I was getting at - a little ambiance to make it sound like is was recorded in a room (or hall) as opposed to being in a shoebox. When I'm just screwing around I generally don't like a lot of effects (just a little delay to thicken things up a bit) and I also understand that the lack of any effects can be a desirable affect in itself.

[Grandturk]

I guess it doesn't really matter anyway. It really matters how it sounds with drums and bass going on too.
