Hello all !
I have a new project to record. It's a folk band (condinental european folk music). The band has many instruments. There are two instruments that i don't have any previous recording experience. The viola and the accordion. For the viola the player is using a pickup (fishman V-100). To be honest i didn't even know the existence of these devices... since i've never used this kind of equipment i want to experiment with it and learn some useful tips about it.
I am also thinking to mic up the viola and decide afterwards which one of the two tracks is the one i prefer. I've seen someone micing up a viola (in a gig) with an AKG SE300E. The result was good and this microphone is available to me for this session but any suggestions on microphones and mic placements would be more than welcome..
For the accordion i am still waiting for the musician to give me some information about the equipment he uses so i can have an idea about his approach. Some extra opinions though, are always beneficial...
