Thank you for your video. The Goldilock area is a great analogy. What microphone stand do you recommend?

Hello dear! I want to buy a new mic for violin recording.I use UA apollo interface with SE xt(tube) mic. What mic you recommend for a better recording. My violin sounds a little thin. U87 is a little expensive for me.

[@violin-schwerin]

I can recommend the SE vr2 ribbon

[@engineersandfriends4799]

thats a great suggestion matthias! sorry i didnt see this until now. if you are still in the market, a WA87 is also very good or any other large diaphragm condenser mic. The other mic I love for violin is a small diaphragm condenser--the neumann km184

@@violin-schwerin I bought a tlm103 and a beyerdynamic m130 and recorded with m/s technic! Totally satisfied and improvement. But for me the most essential thing in recording violin is the environment! No gears can do what a hall can do!

@@houmangf Most definitely!
