Submitted by Eric S on

I'm new to recording and could use some some help on tips or tools to improve my flute recording. Currently using a Apogee Mic+ on a mic stand hang away/above about 2 feet from the performer; can't seem to get better lows or capture reverb well recording the flute, maybe I'm adding too much gain on mic.

Hi Friends,

What are the dynamics we usually using for bamboo flute recording (like delay reverb etc.) please mention if we usually use compressor/limiter for flute track ? I know its depends on the requirement. But i would like to hear from you guys the effect to be used for a soothing flute music besides a karaoke track.

Hi frineds, I am new to this forum. 3 questions.

1. For home recording for flute what type microphone is preferred (condenser/dynamic) ?

2. I have recorded a flute mono track. Do i need to convert it to stereo prior to mixing ? I would like to add some delay and reverb to it. I need some widening effect too. What is preferred way of mixing ?

I have been asked to make a stereo recording of a grand piano, flute and base flute in a small 'music room'. I have Neumann KM184s (matched pair), TML103, AKG 414s (matched pair), STC/Coles 4038. Will be using Nagra VI (4 mic channels). There will be no audience. Please can someone advise on mic placement. Many thanks, David

hi all :)



I'm searching for professional sound libraries about exotic flutes (such as pincollo, sicus -something similar to pan flute, but from chile-, and excellent pan flute).

Any advice? that's not a matter of price (of course, I hope it will be lot reasonable :lol:) but a matter of quality :)



tnx

I am running sound at the "Children's Universe" at Floydfest this weekend. One of the bands has a flute. I was planning to have the following set of mics available:



Shure Beta 87

Shure SM58

Shure SM57

RODE NT5

AKG D112



Which would you use?
