Shady Grove (Traditional Solo Banjo) Phillips Saylor Wisor
Here is a take at this Trad tune I produced this past week featuring my bud, Phillips on the 5 string claw hammer. It turned out ok. Each edit I learn something new but overall, I'm tickled.
I'm not a videographer, but just on the audio, have you ever heard of the "rule of three?" It states that for clean mixing with two microphones, the microphones should be at least three times as far apart as their distance from the sound sources, or they should be at least three times as far from the source, as their distance apart. That is, either two microphones one foot apart, at least three feet from the source, or each one foot from the source, and at least three feet apart. As opposed to just sort of "out there."
This can be hard to achieve with a person singing and accompanying themselves on guitar or banjo, and probably depends somewhat on the acoustics of the environment and the directionsl pattern of the mics.
Here's a little video that I helped with the audio. The singer\songwriter, a radiology technician by trade, wanted to record some of his songs in a house he was selling, and have it look like a recording studio. It was 4th of July weekend some years ago and we got together Friday night for supper, set up and recorded a few tunes. I went home and came back the next day to collect my equipment, so I wasn't actually there for this one, but I like the song: youtu.be/BhJ5MK9rc5g

Very neat, Doug. Thanks for posting that example.
Yeah, the first two songs we did were on vocals and guitar and I mixed those accordingly but, the banjo tune I went with the same mix and discovered I should have checked on that first...lol. The banjo is def louder than I wanted.
