About this gig
I am Maarten Ouweneel, guitarist from Rotterdam, the Netherlands. As a session guitarist I have toured and recorded with many Dutch artists. Since the summer of 2021 I am the guitarist in the band of Dutch artist Danny Vera.
In my home studio I record both acoustic and electric guitar parts for projects by other musicians, songwriters and producers. I play different styles: pop, rock, blues, jazz, soul, country, EDM. Check out the sound examples below.
Also check out my youtube channel for examples of sounds I record at home and for the music I release myself.
I record in Logic. I have a Universal Audio Apollo Twin with a lot of great plugins (NEVE, API, Distressor, etc).
For the most part, I record with real amps. I have of lot of great amps: Suhr Bella, Suhr Badger 35 vintage Fender Deluxe Reverb Morgan PR12, Marshall 50watt plexi and a Hook Wizard.
My guitar collection is diverse: Strats, Tele, 335, SG, Les Paul, Gretsch, Danelectro Baritone. All the tools to get it right!
Acoustic guitars: Atkin om37, Atkin J43, Taylor 310, vintage 1943 Martin 00-17.
I record these with a Neumann km184 or a nice condenser. Sometimes I also record a clean DI sound.

What's your typical work process?
I first listen to the song. I try to imagine in my head what the song needs. Then I figure out the chords/structure. If there are some essential basic parts, I start with that, and then I try to come up with the real hooks, textures and vibes.
How do you deliver the sounds?
I try to make my sounds big and fat, they all have to get their place in the mix next to al the other instruments and vocals. That’s why I try to make the sounds different from each other by using different guitars, amps, pedals and other effects. It is possible to send the delay and verb separate
