Bank Vault Jam

avatar

▶️ Watch on 3Speak


I discovered my office building used to have a bank vault in the basement and it is now converted into a music room. They have a cheap Fender dreadnought in there, so I decided to do a sound test with my Insta360 camera to see how well its microphone worked recording guitar. The microphone of the insta360 is ok but it does pick up quite a bit of ambient air conditioning noise, so I did a noise print removal in Adobe Audition. After that it does ok capturing the sound of the acoustic but not quite as good as a Zoom microphone. My next test will probably be testing out the zoom with this guitar. Sadly, this guitar has high action and a skinny neck so it’s super easy to accidentally hit the other strings while playing. I might give it a restring with some lighter strings and attempt to adjust the truss rod. That's all for now thanks for watching :-)

Fun jam session 👍 interesting that there is an old bank vault in the basement. I love old details like that in buildings. I recently found an old well in the basement of a theatre... the wide, open kind you draw water out of with a bucket lol looks like someone set the vault up almost as a living room 🤔

I bet that well shape would generate interest reverb acoustics if you brought a guitar down there.

The old vault is kind of a common space for all the offices in the building. No one ever uses it (or knows about it) so its great to go down there to jam a bit. There are also pool tables nearby with a bowling alley that I haven't tried yet.

Thanks for listening :-) if I could get the action a bit tuned better this would be a decent guitar. Sometimes its fun to try and fight high action.
