- greetings... the other day I was working with my 4 track recorder and flute.
- I was recording multiple trax of a classical string quartet (using the flute
- for 3 of the 4 parts). The recording will be used in performance at a
- wedding.
-
- I had the trouble of "breathing", actually gasping from a cold, being picked
- up by the mic. I have a pickup on the flute, but for classical music, the
- "key clicks" are too noisy so I opted for the microphone (a vocal mic).
-
- I tried to move the mic further away from me and play in a smallish room, but
- then you could hear the distance.
-
- Perhaps someone can offer some advice...
-
- 1. Is there a *very* inexpensive solution to this? A friend suggested making
- a pop filter out of a crochet hoop and pantyhose, but that might not
- do much for the breathing
- 2. Was I correct in the attempt to mic the room, rather than the flute, but
- just using the wrong kind of mic?
-
- thankx, ...lisa
