Default Re: violin micing techniques

Thanks so much, lots of good ideas. Since my first post I've found several online articles on the subject, with a variety of opinions. But most seem to have a "not too close" consensus (2 feet or more away). I'll experiment and post my results.

This is as I would have assumed, the same is true with acoustic guitar, but since I have a DI, I'll probably record it. A couple of times I've not recorded DI for acoustic guitar and later wished I had - not because I'm fond of the DI sound, but because sometimes just a little bit of DI input blended in can "tighten" up a fuzzy bass note.
