I build some home made acoustic panels for my home studio and wanted to see how they affect recording. So, it's just me playing with a Telecaster, straight into a Fender Blues Jr amp. The mic is a condenser mic (AT 3035) positionned roughly 5' from the floor and 7' from the amp. It is pretty much in the center of the room, in order to get  lot of the room sound.

In the audio, you'll hear some different clips, first with the panels on and then with the panels off.

After the Storm - Rough mix

Compared to the first version, I brought both guitars closer to the center and added a stereo delay on both.

After the Storm - Mix 2

Compared to the initial mix, I brought guitar 1 (clean) a little bit closer to the center and put a stereo delay on it. I brought guitar 2 (disto) to the center to put more focus on it.
