Hi All,
I am using Strings (Synth) and Hammond for keys. Should I place my Strings as a stero track panned L and R or should I bounce to a single mono track and pan to left and Hammond of to right (not far L-R but to taste).
Opinionsas to what might sound best or work best for the rest of my tracks to sit right.

As usual, THANKS!

Hi,

i'm involved in a (pop)music project where three solo violins have to be recorded and have to fit into the mix between a lead vocal and backround-vox. How do i record the strings best, what eq-ing sounds best? Are there other secrets to get a tight warm sound on them?

Thanks

Hi
Looking for some feeback on best mics for
recording violin, viola and cello. Can't
afford U87s but wondered about K184 if I can
find one ( or more ).

Thanks to all for response re: Micing grand piano.
Interested in similar answer re: Micing
violins, violas and cellos. Favorite mics etc.

I have found on a number of CDs where orchestra
was recorded digitally and mixed to digital
a metallic coloration discernible in the strings in contrast to older recordings recorded to analog and remastered digitally.

Hi guys,
I'm going to track a small quartet strings section for a pop song.
How should I mic them up? what mic? how many? And also should it be track all together or separate (violins, viola, and cello)?
How about some suggestions for a bigger section say 4 1st violins, 3 2nd violins, 3 violas, 2 cellos.

hey there
i'm looking for a single piece (keyboard/or module/or sampler) to perform live: electric pianos (rhodes and wurly), acoustic pianos, organs (B3) and strings.
my budget is just 1600$ (or 1800 euro, i'm in italy).
