Hi there,
I have recently gotten some home recording equipment and am planning to
record some music, mandolin included. So, I just thought I'd ask some of the
folk here how to mic a mandolin to get the best sound? What kind of mic to
use, how many mics, placement, effects (compressor, reverb and so
Besides their delicious sea urchins, vegemite, kangaroo scrotes,
monkey paw plants, blow holes, treetop walks, mexican bed bugs,
luggage delivery times, and overall pleasantness, there's not too much
oddness I guess. I mean, there's certainly nothing dickie about
Dickie's pies.

I agree with you about Rawlings, Jonas. I got the chance to see him play in a small setting and it was all hard downstrokes ala Monroe. A tremendous guitarist. I don't think he gets his due...

There are as many different ways to record an instrument well as there
are good players. The key is knowing what sound you want and keep
experimenting with what you have until you get the best results.
You may want to frequent pro audio groups like Gearslutz and 3bd
forums and ask questions. KM8
Taking the advice from Spruce (Bruce) that frequents the Mando Cafe, I
tried, and love, a Shure KSM32 mic 4" from the 12th fret. I love these
mics on almost everything and I use a pair of them for shows... as can
be seen in these somewhat creepy photos from a show last Thursday:

Mercy,
Living in Nashville, there are tons of studios around from basement to
16th Ave. Truthfully, I've used all sorts of mic setups. I find that
the choice of mics depends a lot on who the engineer is or what the
studio owner could afford. Rarely have I had priceless antiques put in
front of me.
I agree, Caleb is one of my favorite young writers/players. But then,
so is Mr. Long. I wonder which Caleb does better, plays western/honky
tonk dance floor music or string band. What say you, David? I don't
follow the logic behind suggesting Luke Plumb. He is without a doubt a
hoss of a player (n
I like Caleb's music and I think it would definitely fit. But I don't
think you'd need to go back much further, style-wise. And like Mr.

I went the first year - I believe it was 2006 - and had a ball.
Things I liked the year I went:
- the teachers - Mike, Red?& Chris Henry, David Long, Skip Gorman - they all
did a great job and hit on different aspects
- the museum setting - good spot for it
- the other students
- the
Sounds like fun. The Scottish suggestions are appealing. A river runs
through it, Mister Tater, an I ain't talkin' no River Dance!

While Andy Statman does not play Monroe style these days, he certainly
learned about every Monroe solo/tune he could when he was young, and
he still knows what Monroe is about. He's also an excellent teacher.
John Reischman has a solid grounding in Monroe/old time and is also an
excellent teacher.
This is a subject I've been interested in myself for a year or so.
Recording perfection is like the search for Atlantis, the Holy Grail
or the Fountain of Youth: You keep searching and spending more money
but you never really get there. But it's fun, and you can get fairly
good results without gre
I agree, Don. I think that it is a good idea to get the older ones in
while we have them. I do think that some of the young guys have valid
contributions in their interpretations too and I think it brings a
freshness to the music, just like Monroe did to the old sound when he
came on the scene. Of
