Please do a search on the forum archives. Just this past week there was a lot of discussion on recording by David Tayler (last Saturday for instance) where he makes a number of recommendations on microphones from the high end to the low end.

I've just done an "introduction to the theorbo" video, and posted it on Youtube/Facebook, etc. Please have a look - hope you enjoy it. Now that I've had to create my own Youtube channel, I'm planning to try to record some further lute/theorbo/vocal pieces. I have a question/request for help from those who have either done professional recording and/or Youtube videos in the past: in your opinion, what mic or mics work best for recording lutes? It would likely be a live thing with a video component, without extensive editing - basically a park and play thing. The space would probably be the church in which I recorded the theorbo - it's very big and echo-y, but it's not bad for live recording, with the right mic. Anyhow, if anyone has any thoughts or suggestions about what has worked well for them, I'd be grateful - best, Ben S ------------- Watch "Ben and His Theorbo" A new music video by James Howard! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gV-rk-fRJgE Website: http://benjaminstein.ca/ To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html
