it really great info..... now i understand, what mistake i did while playing in flute... thank you so much for this information.... it helps me lot....
Three things to say: First: I agree with you. The third positions it's the best. Wind sound complements the flute as a whole. I think it would sound much better with a nice background music and some FX. Second: Nice ending with music. Third: I like your Bruce Lee t-shirt. PD: I'm a drummer, not a flutist. It's just my humble opinion.
the best solution is to use two microphones. One close in to grab the articulation, dynamic range and details, and one more far off to get the other frequencies and the room sound, and then you mix them together with different EQ, compression and reverb and you can get a lot of control over the sound.
The best solution is to position the mic to get the sound that you want. As I said in the video, "Just like with everything else, there was more than one opinion."
@@CaneMajor This is soooo helpful, thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!! Do you have any recommendations for a quality USB microphone in which you could play flute on Zoom or Google Meet "live"-----in other words, be able to perform in real time with a USB mike that has reverb in it? I love a little reverb and would like to play my flute in real time at church via Zoom meetings due to Covid. Any ideas helpful. I'm trying to perform "live" on computer with the least amount of equipment (but still have my reverb---LOL).
Hello! Good choice with the 4040! With that mic you can use it in the overhead position or point the mic at an angle towards your mouth. It is a studio quality mic so you don't have to bring it in too close to get a good sound. Good luck!
@@CaneMajor Awesome! Thanks. I just ordered an Eventide Mixing Link pedal today as I have a few awesome Strymon pedals for guitar that I have had for years that I want to try running the flute through (Volante, Flint, and Deco) now that I have a good quality mic. The Volante is a tape delay but has a sound-on-sound loop mode, and you can even pitch the loop down by an octave. It occurred to me today that that might be a way to create something similar to those cool drone pad sounds you often play over. If nothing else, this will make my flute practice even more enjoyable!
Thanks - very helpful. I find myself in constant battle, because I LIKE the natural reverent acoustic of my practice room and would prefer my mic to pick as much flute detail AS WELL as the rooms halo on the sound, rather than adding an unnatural reverb that does not fit with the environment I am playing in (an important factor, when you are videoing as well). Thanks again

Hey Trace. Here is another thought though slightly sideways from the "focus" of the video. If you try close-miking the flute with the pick-up pattern pointed down the barrel of the flute you will get less breathiness to worry about but still enough to personalise the sound the way you do. Maybe try the third placement position with the P220 and hang the pair of Rode M5 mics above you in an exaggerated stereo configuration as you would if you were doing overheads on a drum kit. Record all three mics on seperate tracks and when mixing pan the M5s hard R/L with the P220 dead centre. Add effects accordingly. I'd put some varying delay with the reverb on the M5s and make the P220 the biggest part of the mix. You'd need three mic stands so if you don't have 3 here's an excuse to go out and get more gear. As if you needed an excuse...anyway, you probably knew I'd have an "opinion" to offer. Hope that's OK. Cheers as always from the bottom of the planet and thank you once more for your contributions to flute tragics worldwide.
Hey! I learned the most from this video. ua-cam.com/video/ZTtQ2Zk-crU/v-deo.html I did experiment with multiple mics but the slight improvements weren't worth the setup time. I may experiment with a few higher end mics down the road but for the playing I do and the sound I'm looking for the P220 and the effects processor I'm using are doing the trick. Cheers.
Hi.. i m a flautist too.. i use condenser mic .. but the quality of recording is not upto the expectation as most of time its peaking. Also can you help me with inputs about reverb and other effects.?
Very nice job. Good to compare waveforms and the actual sound. Thanks!

Hey man, thnx for this video.
What is the best way for a recorder Flute?
Thanks bro
How did you get the very beautiful reverb effect at the end of your video??? Gorgeous......
Hello! I'm using a reverb pedal inserted into my mixer. Here is another way to do it ua-cam.com/video/pqp0u3zZvHM/v-deo.html Cheers!

Love your t shirt
thanks for the video
Thanks, Cane! I just bought a used AT4040 condenser mic for a good price. Will I need to add a pop filter?

Hello fellow flute player! Let's start with your setup. What are you using to record?
CaneMajor hi.. I use Focusrite 2i2 bundle setup that includes condenser mic and Logic Pro.
