Hi all,

I want your opinions about a specific recording session .
I'm recording a new album for a very well known old-school pop singer, and we are going to record strings on Monday, there are 10 philharmonic strings players :
2x 1st Violin
2x 2nd Violin
2x Violas
2x Cellos

I've taken just the DI channel forever and I've just started Micing the bass cab and blending the DI. I was just curious as to any particular technique for Micing the bass cab. How close should I be micing? What mic? Large Condensor or dynamic? The mics that I have to choose from is:

i do the live sound for a progressive rock band that incoperates a violin, the problem we have been having is with the feedback on using a mic(not to mention lack of mobility) ive been using an acoustic guitar transducer mad by dean markly, first because it was the only thing we could afford but it sound amazing with verry low feedback, the problem with them is they die in about three months th

would cheap dynamic microphones work well enough to mic my drum set?

i don't have money for expensive drum mics or anything. i'd run these into a mixer and then into my 8-track.

Working a client that does "old time" acoustic/vocals (with bass and drums but I'm mainly concerned about the acoustic/vox). Any ideas on Micing to capture that ballsy Martin sound?

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

Many thanks,
Brian

hey guys,

This is my first post, so go easy on me.

First off, I realize now after reading the 1st five pages of the mastering forum that I am nowhere (and won't soon be) near a proper mastering setup and for that matter I am questioning the foundation with which I have built this studio up to be (another thread), but all this is not the point.
