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.

Here is the last recording I did, any tips would be greatly appreciated:

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 ?

This is sooo good, unbelievable! He is a real pro!

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 everybody I've got about $400.00 to spend on a mic that will be used primarily for Micing sax and flute. I was thinking about possibly picking up an Electro-Voice RE20 for the job based on some things I have read in the past about them.

Hello there,

Flute Recording Experiences?

Recording Flute

I am about to record a flute and am interested to hear other peoples
experiences. Have done this once before using a pair of Studio Projects C4
mics. Theory was was have a very good room acoustically and a pair of
omni’s can provide a vibey and live feel to the recording.

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?
