 Recording Acoustic Chinese Musical Instruments
Yo people.
i am intending to record a few Chinese Musical Instruments.
they are the Guqin (pronounced as Koo Chin), Yangqin (Yung Chin), Pipa (Pee Pa) and Dizi (Tee Tcher).
these are the recording equipments that i have.
Mics: Shure SM57, Studio Project CS1
Preamp: M-Audio Firewire Solo, M-Audio Fasttrack
Software: Logic Express
Computer: MacBook.
any suggestions on how to to place the mics and so on so forth.
i am going to record in the school that i am teaching in (Suzhou, CHINA!). hence i dont think i would have much of a room. its heavily carpeted. i have a portable recording booth ala (porta-booth) that i built myself. the good thing is that the school is away from many things and buildings so there arent much noise coming from anywhere, unless one of my students start screaming at the top of his or her lungs in the corridor.
anyway, here's to you esteemed readers and forumers.
cheers
iwan
PS-Attached to this post are pictures of the various Chinese instruments that i have mentioned above in case you have no idea what it looks like.
