Thanks for the kind comments TO,
I'm really happy with the sound quality considering it was all done in the traditional DIY environment of the bedroom, with occasional forays into my lounge for the string quartet and vocals.
The mandolin is currently my favourite instrument to record, it just sits in the mix nicely with just a dash of reverb, and very little other processing. That and the lap steel were the most enjoyable parts to play too.
Your copy will be in the post next week :)
