Greetings,

I spent the last couple of days finishing this recording of the first movement of Mozart's A-major violin concerto, No. 5 - the Allegro aperto movement. It's been recorded under not very ideal acoustic surroundings, so I added a bit of artificial reverb and EQed it slightly overall to a degree I found acceptable.

Hi all,

I am going to record some kids that play very well this weekend. The instruments are cello, violin and acoustic guitar. This is a recording for the grandfather so it is purely for memories. My question is what mics should I use? Very limited mike selection. SM57, Studio project C-1. B1, and some other dynamic mics (AKG). I also have an Audix drum pak with 5 mics.

I'm in a new band and we'd like to record a simple demo. Our orchestration is violin, viola, steel pan, bass, and keys (I'm playing only keyboards now; no acoustic keyboard instruments yet).

Would this be a good mic for recording solo violin? I can't help but notice all the glowing praise for this mic lately. Is it really as exceptional as people make it out to be, or is it just because ribbons are "in" right now? Thanks.

Hello to all,

I am about to invest in some Studio equipment and microphones. I have a good buget .I am searching for a microphone suitable for violin and other string instrumnets.CAN ANYone help or advice on a mic that will do that job? :roll: thankyou again.

the subject line really says it all.

I'm recording violin what equipment would you use if the violin was great the player was great and the room was good. no budget.

now if you had a;
seb 4000e
brick
Mackie vlzpro
and an old Tascam m35

and

RCA 74b
2 hm1s
2 c4
3 sm57s
1 m9
1 nt1a

i will be starting a new session with my band and i was just wondering two things. first how would you record the violin? think of it as a beethoven style solo violin. one more thing the violin, bow and musician are top notch and the room is treated(hanging form the topnotch)

think about that...
