String Recording

Orchestral

Orchestral strings offer heavy layering of 6 -10 recordings per part. I use different microphones and miking techniques here to reflect the style of what it is I am recording.

Chamber

Chamber strings offer light layering of 1 - 5 recordings per part.

String quartet

String quartet is only one recording per part. These recordings are done more close miced and intimate than in an orchestral setting, and I utilise more expressive playing. There isn’t an example below, however double bass could be added for a string quintet option.

Solo

These are all solo instrument recordings. With solo recordings, I get much closer to the mic and always record in a cardioid, directional pattern.
