I've recorded myself several times playing bluegrass fiddle parts, and backing string parts. When I record multiple passes, say, to build a string ensemble part, I make it a point to either change mics, or change the distance from the mic for each part. This small variation in the sound will help to lend more 'realism' to the final product.
Thanks, I had this problem of a raspy sound when I tried recording my violin, eventhough I have a quite a good condenser microphone... Hooking it up to REAPER instead of recording it directly from my logitech software removed all of the raspyness in one go!
Thanks for sharing this video, it is so helpful. I will try it. I was looking for something to start with, as recording violin playing with your phone make the sound quality very bad and you would feel embarrassed to share it with anyone lol
Thank you for taking the time to make such an easy to follow, clearly explained video! I watched several useless videos before finding yours!! Thanks also for the links. Going to order these and start recording! You are the best!! And so is your solo violinist!! Does she have recordings on youtube?
Thank you for the video. Can you please share with us the name of the music recorded in the video? I cannot get it out of head and would like to learn the piece myself if possible :)
If recording without an engineer the loop and multiple take feature on most any Daw is the way to go then go back to the take stack and select the best ones or composit them together. It eventually becomes so so easy that I can finally focus on the music and not hit undo every 15 seconds. I enjoyed this video. please stop by my channel.
Only just seen this comment but generally, I go very subtle with compression on bowed violin, sometimes none at all. But I do recommend the use of a transient designer (or any transient shaping device/plug) to add a little sustain and also (particularly for plucked violin/viola), to spike up the attack a little. This is mainly for violin as part of rock / pop material. For classical, I'd go even more subtle, especially if using gentle 2 buss compression (which I often do) to glue the entire mix. Hope this helps.
I can’t afford tens of thousands of dollars worth of acoustic treatment like you have. Any advice on actual home recording, not in a professional studio?
Geoff White u do need the same stuff to record - basic okay ish sound quality. However u can cut down costs on the mike, interface etc. can always find cheap second hand stuff

Thanks for taking time to demo recording. I am in the processing of trying.
Cheers

Wow this is so helpful, thanks so much for posting!! A side question for the talented violinist: what is that awesome shoulder rest?!!! 🙏🙏🙏

I wish he also spoke about compressing the audio.. i am finding difficulty in knowing how to do it

I just started recording violin and I use a Zoom H4n and Reaper. Seems to do the trick and only costs a couple of hundred dollars in total.
I need a computer?
I love your wall ;)
can i just use H2n? or zoom
Consordini Musical instruments
zoomQ2n 4k a go pro for musician.
can you make a clear explication with screenshoot and slow speech
Sure, we will do in the next one
Lol your wrong for that Tojan.
