Sometimes (Such as in country music fiddle) they actually put the mic behind the player in a somewhat over the shoulder/over head fashion. (I have no idea why this is done, but I THINK I read it in an interview about Mutt Lange going to Nashville.)

 

[MemoGtr]

wouldnt a clip mic actually DAMMAGE the violin?

This sounds like a question for DavidK - professional violinist and member of this site.

Do a search and email or PM him.

id say get an old beefy tube mic and let it warm up really good.


stand about 5 feet away and go to town.




im not sure though. just a thought.

Unfortunately, like all not-drum machine or synthesized instruments, the quality of your tracking space will have a huge effect on the sound of the violin. Try a church or school auditorium

Good Luck
