acoustic guitar / vocals tune -- can you tell what gear?
I recorded this neil young tune a few days ago. Curious to see if you folks can guess close as to kind of mic, guitar, and other gear was used in the recording ??

can you be more specific?
is it distorting throughout the entire tune, or just loud peaks? I don't hear it. The mic is an MXL990.

hmm
doesn't make sense to me, there is only one mic, an mxl990 LDC going into the Behringer mixer with built in mic pres. RNC is on the aux send/return in regular mode.
It's possible the guitar at times is louder than the vocals clipping, but I'm hardly ever hitting 0db, and don't hear any distortion in the phones.
Maybe you are hearing some fret buzz from the guitar being tuned down 1 step??

do u think
the compressor should be checked out, or just the settings caused the distortion being heard?

I also did an acoustic electric verison of this, but I wouldn't want to upset the folkie purists.
