Audience perception of the stereo effect will be minimal to none unless you play a large venue with a wide stage.

+1 for Reaper for multi track recordings and easily shared projects. Whenever I get stumped there is invariably a video that adresses the problem on Youtube. I use Sound forge for mastering and...
If Audio Sprocket's ever finds a new chip supply for their Tonedexter product that might be a solution using a piezo pickup. Maybe someone who purchased one before the supply dried up can comment?
29 years since I bought my '93 Flatiron Performer F, and the only mandolin I have MAS for is one of the Apitius J models. The Flatiron isn't the loudest instrument, probably due to the neck support...
When my oldest brother went to college at RPI, he came back with recordings off the student radio station of live recordings of the Star Spangled Washboard Band. No mandolin, but jugs were in...
Tim O'Brien's Arpeggios has all the keys: https://www.mandozine.com/techniques/arpeggios/arpeggios-obrien.html
One of my projects completed this last year was to convert a bass from fretted to fretless, and I learned some things that may shed light on your scooping. I found a company that makes maple business...
Find some recorded music you like and listen to the same recording on you r PC speakers, in your car , and then find someone who is audiophile with expensive speakers or just another musician who's...
I was lucky enough to see Steve and Jethro performing together at 2 different editions of the Philly Folk Fest in the mid 70's. Those two were always joking, and both could play so well. Jesse's Jig...
Nice mandolin soloing on "The Same Boat, Brother"!
+1 on Reaper (@ $60) vs Free Audacity. a little learning curve required, but very easy to set up for this task. Editing after recording is a little more difficult on any DAW.
I bought my "lifelong keeper" mandolin in '93 for about $1850.. See my signature below. I consider myself an intermediate skill player.
I've put almost as much into repair and upgrades: re-fretted...
Nash the Slash took it to extremes.
I use the TI stark (heavy guage) and have for over 10 years. When I'm in a band they get changed after about 1.5 yrs. I've gone over 2 years. Lately, I've been doing some recording and I tend to put...
Please string this with TI flat wounds and share in another video. I suspect it would sound jazzalicious!
At the beginning of the pandemic I bought a cheap HH Squire ($160), figuring I might have a little fun. I have since repalced everything but the neck, and a new one is on order. Now all the big...
No, with one exception. My '71 Precision bass was named Humphrey when I was still in college (45 years ago), and old friends still ask after it by name. It was my first quality instrument. As I...
This is the first video I've seen that gives a full review of the instrument, acoustic and amplified. I have a feeling that it will sound perfect to my ears with flatwound strings. This instrument...
Not and add-on musician in general, but I did add an arm rest to my Flatiron a few years ago when the finish started showing wear. Banjos need armrests, all that metal really digs into the arm...

There are always too many guitarists. I'm just OK on guitar, but I put in the time on bass and mandolin so I could play in more jams. I play banjo, too, but it's hard to make work across as many...
Here's a collaboration of East and West Coast musicians on the Justin Townes Earle tune "Harlem River Blues". I was lucky enough to get the intro and a solo. recorded with cellphones and tablets and ...
Not Just Bill M, lots of others helped him out. In the doc "Revival" they go into it.
Buying my '93 Performer F was a huge upgrade for me. I still get the itch for another mandolin from time to time, but I haven't succumb, yet. I've had it refretted and replaced the bride and the...
So, Jack would have lived if he had a mandolin on the Titanic?
