 Re: Mic and tips for recording flute
I must admit that I've only recorded a flute one time in my entire life. The guy playing it was an amazing saxaphone player, but not an amazing flute player.
With that said, flutes are what I call "natural instruments". This means that a mic 2-4 feet away will probably sound fine. If it doesn't, you tweak. I know nothing about the specifics of a flute and therefore I have no tricks.
I'd be really careful using hyper / super cardiod microphones with the flute back too far because they can get exceptionally thin at great distances. This may or may not effect your flute recording.
In what mix is the flute going to be in? Is it by itself? Is it competing with rock guitar and big drums?
