I have just set up my PC so I can record my own MP'3. I also thought I would make a recording and compare the tone of my 2 banjos. My setup is Shure Condensor BG 4.1 Yamaha MG82X Mixer, Lexicon Alpha sound card and Audacity software.
Banjo A is my Flinthill 280 Archtop, Banjo B is my 70's Cortley Masterclone. Both has Purcell Bridges the Archtop has higher action and much more volume. I've really been working on playing cleaner. I still need to slow down a little more. Thanks for listening.
