    Baroque Music - Viola da Gamba top of instrument SHRILL

    Thanks guys VERY Useful info! I'm terrible in math so finally figured out that 3.2 kHz is 3200hz. But besides that the musician says it is only the open top string. So what do you think of this "mad scientist" solution? Each and every time there is that open top string I "zap" it with this =...

    Viola da Gamba and headphones

    I have been recording the viola da gamba for quite a while now. I'm both a sound engineer and performer. I noticed as this instrument especially is very rich in harmonics it sort of saturates in excellent headphones (Sennheiser for example). Nothing to do with gain or mixing. I checked my own...
