[QUOTE="Bennett Prescott, post: 17576, member: 4"] Re: miking recorders Brian, It just so happens that I come from a family of expert recorder makers. [URL]http://www.prescottworkshop.com[/URL] Any Prescott instruments from serial number 2,000 into the very low 3,000 had some portion of the work done by me, on many all of the work save final voicing and tuning. The tone of the recorder mostly comes out of the fipple, the angled cut just below the head. I would not bother with compression, recorders don't have that much dynamic range, they have more of a tonal change with breath adjustment than an SPL difference. A 57 ought to be good, I would try and aim from the player's face down the length of the recorder a little to minimize breath noise. Unless you're dealing with baroque instruments they will probably have a fairly bright tone, you shouldn't have to work too hard and you can use an aggressive high pass. [/QUOTE]
