"My Goal's Beyond" (J. McLaughlin) is pure acoustic. That Balladeer wasn't even wired! And, no, PT, it does not sound "plugged" in or piezo.
Sound Imaging technology is phony: wax food, silicone tits, mohair toupee, socks in the jock.
I will not get over it. I NURSE my anger. Gee why don't tell us how you feel

See, the problem I have with all of the above is they all sound like a plugged-in guitar. Nothing wrong with that, but that's what it is and none of them really excite me. To me piezo tone is a compromise I have to deal with to play loud, and Ovation is the best solution I have found to that end.
The best recorded Ovation sound you wouldn't really be aware of, because it would be made with microphones and a good engineer, and would just sound like a really good acoustic guitar. We all know Ovation are cabable of making acoustic guitars that can compete with the best of them, the Fishman guy was using a stereotype to make a point. Get over it. EXACTLY!!!!!
Although I'm not a fan of the music style, I think Kaki King's first Album (I think it was her first) was one of the best recordings of an Ovation Adamas I have ever heard. All of the deep lows and sparkly highs are there and you can actually "hear" the Ovation "signature" effects of moving around the fretboard while maintaining the same tonal qualities.
Those that have heard the intro to Crazy On You live, where it's a mix of the sound board feed and the mic she stands in front of, know... that the recording is no comparison and frankly pretty stale once you've heard it live.
I also think many would be suprised at how often the Guitar on an album is an artists "signature" whatever... when in fact... it was an Ovation that an engineer knew how to record. |

I can testify: Two years ago I bought my second Legend the ADII 1769 (Di Meola signature) on the strength of Al's recorded tone and endorsement. Well, in a word, I am disappointed. It does not have anywhere near the tone and punch of my old regular 1117 Legend!! Budny was kind enough to send me the OP STUDIO... Louder, but no cigar. So yes: recorded magic is in the microphone and the natural ACOUSTIC sound, first and foremost. |
