They spell my name wrong at the beginning of the video. Most of my music is under the name Ali Rapetti. Funny, I have remained ambiguous on youtube because of the misspelling .

Again, thanks for this!

Absence of the presenters mic reveals that the mics for the singers voice and guitar are out of phase and badly placed, thinning out the voice and the guitar.

Room tone on vocals usually sounds like ass – early reflections muddy up the .

Acoustic instruments, especially acoustic guitar sound their best with some early reflections and a bit of the rooms reverb.

If the talent was being recorded propperly or with headphones on then those thoughtlessly placed mics would have been sorted out.

I recon some players and bands play to the acoustics of a room whilst others just try and put out good tones with their settings regardless of the room acoustics so you have to treat each situations differently including recording the room ambience.
