Reality Check · 1st September 2010

Hi everybody,

After searching for a thread dedicated specifically to recording flutes in the hip hop forum, I realized that there was nothing.

So I would be interested in knowing how those among you who record flutes go about it?

What mic? What about ribbon mics for examples ?

What position ?

Any reverb / delay of choice ?

What pre-amp ?

And eventually, since I'm totally new to the matter :

What flute brands sounded good to your hears ?

Here's the kind of sound I'd like to go for "live" (as opposed to sampled/or played from a leyboard):

And special question for PSM and all the old school cats (and young ones with an old school state of mind) :

How were flutes recorded in the 1970s ? What mics could they have used ? What flutes ? (I know it's a very broad question... sorry, maybe somebody can help)
