Abstract: This is a recording that is sound engineered by Deshazo L. Dorsey and performed by Manuel Arceo (guitar). Deshazo explains his recording strategy as: "To properly and effectively mic the guitar I used two Shure KSM 137 condenser microphones with a cardioid polar pattern. I directed one microphone aimed it at the pegs of the guitar to pick up the transient attack and aimed the second mic at the12th fret of the guitar to capture low end from the sound hole but also brightness and fret noise from the neck. I recorded “Improvisation” within a stereo track and also created an auxiliary track to add reverb and control my wet signal. I normalized the tracks to raise the volume of the recording to make it more full but free of distortion. I added a parabolic fade in and out to make the entrance and release of the recording feel more natural and lifelike. Lastly, I used a Parametric Equalizer and did a cut at 960 Hz to remove unwanted sound and the twang of the guitar. I was the lead engineer on this recording with the assistance of my professor Ben Robichaux."
