Setup was quite simple. Audio Technica 2020 microphones in a stereo XY, and a KAM MC3 with a vocal head for the violin. Post recording, A little multiband compression, some light eq. a little mastering with a touch of audio exciter and reverb. I rather like the final product. It might be able to use a little more on the low end, but for now, I think I am leaving it alone.I rather liked that. Did you take any pictures? what makes me think is you've captured not just what was played, but the era somehow? Was this something you planned? Also - how did you get the 'vintage' sound? Was it based around the real sound of the violin? As in, does it actually sound 'old' or is that something your setup did?
Honestly, probably the microphone I used. There was a little post processing, some multiband compression, a little EQ. The vocal mic used on the violin has a sound I truly enjoy. I have used it on vocals, a student opera singer and a few others. I like the sound of it on stringed instruments.But how did you get the the old fashioned violin sound - that's what was very obvious? Something you did in the production or was the ensemble just old sounding? I've done some 1930s teas orchestra stuff with a singer and they all played instruments of the period and together it was very Noel Coward sounding.
What the heck.. a bit more low end.
