I wouldn't be to scared. Just get a good sounding cardiod mic and put it pretty close to your player and space them out far enough and I think you'll be fine. There will be bleed but as long as the source is louder than the bleed you'll be cool. Add some room mics for depth and "realism" and I thin...

Hello, There is a lot of thread talking about accordion recording techniques, but solo. There is not often big compromises to do with a soloist. I recorded solo accordion with good result, using a pair of coles, with some LDC too. Distant, in a good acoustic you get a very nice sound texture. I will...

Hello, I though that I could describe how the session was as you all took time to give advices. Maybe this could be useful to somebody ? There is some bad pictures... I quickly removed the faces because sometimes you don't want your face on a forum... (Sorry for approximate English) So First element...

Thanks a lot,
This helps !
I will get back to this post after the recording to let know how it was setup.

lastly set up an onmi room mic and add a fair amount of compression. then move it around the room until you find the most balanced sound from all three instruments. Hello ottObot, Thank you for your advices ! Can you elaborate about this protocol. Of course I understand moving a mic to look for goo...

I play Ottoman music myself so I am close to this music. Usually I use Stereo mic in the room + mono spot mics. They want a more "modern" than the traditio...

If it were me I would probably start by arranging the players so the bass is center, oud and daf left and right, respectively. Stereo room mics...blumlein if you can, and mono spot mics. I probably wouldn't record any of the individual instruments "stereo", but perhaps you could overdub the daf and...

Hello, I am going to record an instrumental trio. Live everybody inthe same room. -Oud -Daf -Double bass The trio does not really play acoustically balanced, so basic stereo room micing with spot mics is not really achievable. I am looking for ideas before the recording step about how to place them ...

I gave the mic to a technician, (I do not feel confident soldering this tiny tube myself) this great magnificient technician did not tested the mic after his shity work, and h...
