Here is a recording I made pretty quickly but perhaps worth sharing. One take on each of the two keyboard harmonica tracks in the recording; twenty-minute minute mix and mastering session. More information is provided below and on the SoundCloud page.

I recorded two takes of a keyboard harmonica solo over a great blues backing track that you can find online by searching on “slow blues backing track.”

I was not listening to the first take when I made the second take.

I was not intending to play the tracks back together. But by accident, I started to listen to one of the tracks not realizing both faders were up. When I realized what happened, I continued listening, and it turned out both tracks were complimentary to each other. So, I left them both in the final mix.

The keyboard harmonica was a Hohner piano HM-32 recorded with medium 3:1 compression and the high-end frequencies rolled way back. I ran the signal through a Vox C10 tube amp and recorded the amp using a stereo mic.
