Cymbals Posted October 15, 2004 Share Posted October 15, 2004 ..the Australian instrument - the low drone sound it is about 4 1/2 feet long. Do you recommend micing it in stereo? Mic placement / selection suggestions? Should I mic it like overheards? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Sayers Posted October 15, 2004 Share Posted October 15, 2004 I've usually let the player sit crosslegged on the floor and place the end of his didge on the floor - normal setup for didge players - I then lay a mic (Beyer M88 or similar) on a cloth on the floor around 6" in front of it. cheers john Studio Design Forum Studios Under Construction Home Page Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miroslav Posted October 15, 2004 Share Posted October 15, 2004 Hell...I would like to know how difficult is to play one...then I'll worry about recording it! I've been wanting to get one just to have for some occasional "ear candy"...but I'm not sure if it takes a lot of practice to make proper didgeridoo sounds...? I played a bit of clarinet and sax...a loooooong time ago...so I'm somewhat familiar with wind instruments...though it may not be of much help as far as a didgeridoo goes...??? miroslav - miroslavmusic.com "Just because it happened to you, it doesn't mean it's important."

Jeff Leites Posted October 16, 2004 Share Posted October 16, 2004 I'd like to learn to play one too... especially since I bought one of those suckers at NAMM last year: http://home1.nikonnet.com/sessions/556631096570/8989965lg.jpg My Web Site - Tunes - Pictures - Guitar Projects - Native American Style Flute Projects - Hard Rock Cafe Guitar Pins My Eclectic YouTube Channel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I prefer to record them at 50 centimeters,...2 meters and 10 meters,...three mikes ,..three tracks,...just mix those to the sound of your liking. Fan, nu pissar jag taggtråd igen.
