I was recording a Flute and Behringer ECM-8000 worked quite well. Is there any other mic you would suggest? I was recording a bamboo (wooden) flute which has a hollow sound. I want to hear more round and warm sound without the windy effect.

Hey all. I'm recording a flute/piano concert in a church next sunday. was looking for some mic placing suggestions. the mics i have available to use are two mxl overheads, 2 c3000b's and a C414B.

I was thinking about just using the c414 as an omni and putting it in front and over head, it's gonna be a pretty quick setup, so anything simple but effective would be cool.

Complete rookie Q here. Sorry if it tests anyone's patience...

Hello Everyone,

I am looking to buy a decent mic to record classical flute. My budget is bellow $1,000 dollars.

I am looking for a mic that doesn't highlight the top end, and is warm and full bodied in the mid-low range.

I have been looking into the AT4060 or RODE K2.

Any suggestions are welcome,

Thank you in advance,

I'm wondering some of you folks might have some advice on doing this. For a track I am working on recording, a portion of the melody will be (hopefully if I can get this to work) played on a flute. I am doing this at home, recording it in my appartment. My fiance, who plays the flute, offered to actually play the part, rather than having me sequence it with samples.

Does anyone have experience Micing the flute?
I'm particularly interested in mic positioning and mode, not effects or processing.

Many thanks,
Brian

I tried recording the flute from the front but got way too much click and pop and breath stuff. So I moved the mic to a little off the back left of her head (flute going to the right) and got much more tone but too much room. It sounds hollow to me. It has to stand up to direct electric guitar lines, so I want it real dry and clean so I can give it some lead guitarish treatment.
