hahaha, ahhh yes phone mics are pretty good! They just wouldn't hold up on an album...yet. When they do, we are all in trouble!!! Thanks for commenting and happy new year!

Thanks for taking the time and effort to record this. I find there isn't a lot of concise video material on proper signal chain, eq and such for violin. It's all mostly recording technique.

Very nice and informative. I looked up the KM184 is professional grade and very expensive (for me), would there be any budget mic you may recommend for a beginner? (I’d like to do violin main + piano accompaniment in a room setting) I can probably borrow a Shure SM57 from a guitar friend but not sure that’ll make do. I don’t really have $ to spend :)

Do you angle the mic over the bridge, fingerboard, or f holes?

I am having a really hard time recording my violin. It sounds very harsh. Ive tried LDC and a SDC mic’s. Ive tried close and far micing. My violin is a yamaha. Your playing is beautiful. Maybe i just need to practice.

Check how far away your mic is from the violin strings, that might help. You can also isolate abrasive frequencies using your Daw's EQ. Good luck!

Nice job & thx! Small diaphragm over large b/c small gives a more focused sound?

Yes, exactly. I've actually gone through phases where I like the KM184 over a U87 and vice versa. There's a couple other violin vids I've done using the U87, feel free to compare!

hello there! thanks for the video. Do you you reckon it might be useful to mic the violin in a similar fashion, but using a matched pair of Small Diaphragm Condenser mics, for example in an X Y disposition, instead of just one mic? is it a possible way of obtaining a more spacey sound or just a waste of precious time? thank you

I never received much benefit from going stereo. I tried XY with the KM184s and it actually made the violin sound a little less present. I think if you are going for a more spacey, even sound design for your violin, I'd lean on reverbs and delays to get that effect. So, I'd recommend just sticking with a mono approach. But definitely never limit yourself, keep experimenting!
